Burner.
Remove any soot or other foreign matter from the burner with a dry soft brush.
Be careful not to brush any particles into the open slots.
Remove any particles from the slots with a vacuum cleaner fitted with a soft brush
attachment. Do not poke wire, etc. into the slots in the burner.
Flue terminal.
Keep the slots in the flue terminal on the outside wall clear of any obstructions (leaves,
snow etc.)
Ventilation.
If any purpose made ventilation was provided for this appliance, make sure that it is
always free from any obstruction.
CERAMIC FUEL EFFECT REFITTING
The installer and owner guide for the ceramic fuel effect is separate from this guide. The
installer may have attached it to this guide or placed it inside. It is important that the
installer and owner guide for the ceramic fuel effect is followed correctly. If replacing
the ceramic fuel effect, where a new guide is supplied, follow the installer and owner
guide supplied with the replacement fuel effect.
Keep the replacement installer and owner guide with this owner guide for future
reference.
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance.
In order to achieve and maintain high levels of personal safety and performance
efficiency, it is essential that the opening at the back of the fire and the flue are kept
clear of any form of obstruction. It is possible that deposits of mortar or soot could fall
and accumulate causing the flue to be blocked or restricted and so preventing proper
clearance of dangerous exhaust fumes.
In the United Kingdom it is the law that a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue
and pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every
twelve months by a competent person (In the U.K, a CORGI registered installer).
We recommend that all gas appliances and their flues, wherever situated, are checked
annually.
