Completing the Installation of the Appliance
Fit the cast trim (supplied in a separate carton) to the appliance with the fixings provided. The instructions for the
assembly is supplied with the trim. Due care and attention should be paid to the installation of the trim as any service call
due to incorrect placement of the trim assembly which causes difficulty in lighting the appliance will result in a callout
charge being made.
Should this appliance be installed with a conventional trim and fret then please note the following information:
Position the fret in front of the appliance ensuring that it meets the following requirements.
THE INSTALLER MUST INFORM THE CUSTOMER OF THE FOLLOWING TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION
Demonstrate the lighting of the appliance and the controls to control the heat settings. Demonstrate how to extinguish
the fire.
Demonstrate the removal of the trim and fret and how to reinstall correctly.
Discuss the removal and reinstallation of the glass and the ceramics. Explain how they should be cleaned and make the
customer aware of the health and safety warning detailed later in these instructions.
Explain to the customer that the ceramics are fragile and must be treated with great care, explain that the ceramics are
not covered by the warranty because of their fragility. Also explain that small hairline cracks will appear in the surface of
the ceramics due to heat expansion and contraction—this is perfectly normal.
During the first several hours of use an odour will be experienced—this is normal and is the starch used in the
manufacturing of the ceramic fuel bed. This odour is non toxic and will eventually disappear with use.
Advise that no rubbish should be thrown onto the appliance and that the appliance should be cleaned regularly.
A vacuum cleaner can be used but it is important that the appliance is turned off and allowed to cool before undertaking
this procedure. See the separate section regarding cleaning the ceramics.
Advise the customer that the appliance should be serviced annually by a gas safe engineer to ensure the safety and
integrity of the appliance.
Advise the customer that the appliance has a naked flame and therefore it is essential that a suitable fireguard be used for
the protection of the elderly, infirm and young children. This fireguard should conform to BS8423 : 2002 (Fireguards or use
with Gas Heating Appliances).
