NOTICE
Discolouration of Wall Surfaces
Most heating appliances generate warm air convection
currents and transfer heat to any wall surface against which
they are situated.
Some soft furnishings (such as blown vinyl wallpapers) may
not be suitable for use where they are subjected to
temperatures above normal room levels and the manufacturers
advice should be sought before using this type of wall
covering adjacent to any heating appliance.
The likelihood of wall staining from convected air currents will
be increased in environments where high levels of cigarette
smoke or other contaminants exist.
GENERAL
The installation must be carried out by a CORGI Registered
Installer or other competent person and be in accordance with the
relevant requirements of the GAS SAFETY (Installation and Use)
REGULATIONS (as amended), the BUILDING REGULATIONS
(Scotland) (Consolidation), the LOCAL BUILDING REGULATIONS
and the CURRENT I.E.E. WIRING REGULATIONS. It should also
be in accordance with the relevant BRITISH
STANDARD CODES OF PRACTICE.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This product contains Refractory Ceramic Fibres (R.C.F.) which are
man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these
materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and
respiratory tract. Care must be taken when handling these articles
to ensure the release of dust or fibres is kept to a minimum.
To ensure that the release of fibres from these articles is kept to a
minimum, during installation and servicing it is recommended that a
H.E.P.A. filtered vacuum is used to remove any dust, soot or other
debris accumulated in and around the appliance. This should be
performed before and after working on the installation. It is
recommended that any replaced item(s) are not broken up but
sealed within heavy duty polythene bags and clearly labelled
“R.C.F. waste”. This is not classified as ‘hazardous waste” and may
be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the disposal of industrial
waste.
