CLEANING YOUR FIRE
To maintain the high performance and quality finish of your appliance, please follow
these guidelines:
!
Before attempting to clean the fire, please remember to turn off the fire and wait for
the appliance to cool completely. The fire will retain heat for some time before cleaning
can begin.
!
If any pieces of debris are found in the firebox, have the chimney inspected before
further use.
Metal parts.
!
Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp, lint free non-abrasive cloth and then dry.
!
Do
not
use abrasive cleaners, as these will scratch the fire surface.
Ceramic fuel effect and rear wall.
!
This product uses fuel effect pieces and burner compartment rear wall
containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous
silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this material may cause irritation to eyes, skin
and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important to take care when handling
these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
!
Light coatings of soot will usually be burnt off during the normal operation of the
fire.
!
Should any soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect pieces and walls
should be removed from the fire for cleaning.
!
Cleaning should be carried out in a well ventilated area or in the open air by gently
brushing with the pieces held away from your face so that you avoid inhaling the dust.
!
We suggest that you remove the ceramic fuel effect in the reverse order to that
shown in the ceramic fuel effect installer and owner guide. This should have been left
inside or attached to this guide by the installer.
Burner.
!
The burner surface can be carefully cleaned to remove any loose particles after
taking off the ceramic fuel effect. Make sure that no particles are pushed into the burner
holes.
