Final Review
6.2.1
Recheck the operation of the fire at all control positions.
6.2.2
Visually inspect the appliance. Clean off any marks incurred during installation.
6.2.3
Advise the customer how to operate the fire.
6.2.4
Explain to the customer that the appliance has a flame failure and spillage
monitoring system. Point out the explanation of this system shown in the owner’s guide.
Advise that if the fire goes out for any reason, wait at least three minutes before
relighting.
Stress that if the monitoring system repeatedly shuts off the fire, the appliance should be
switched off and a specialist should be consulted.
6.2.5
Advise the user that the window may require cleaning periodically outside and
inside as described in the user's instructions. Explain how to remove and replace the
window unit for cleaning the inside of the glass etc. Point out that the flattened end of the
smoke match tube can act as a screwdriver for releasing the window screws. Leave the
smoke match tube in the instruction pack.
6.2.6
Advise that the fire may give off a slight odour while new. This is quite normal and
it will disappear after a short period of use.
6.2.7
Advise that any cleaning must only be carried out when the fire is off and cold.
6.2.8
Advise the customer that they should read the Owner’s guide before operating the
fire and always follow the advice in the section headed “Cleaning your fire”.
6.2.9
Advise the customer that the appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the
flue is primed during the first 20 – 30 minutes of use. To do this, simply turn the control
to its highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed
during previous use.
If using the appliance for long periods it is beneficial to change between settings. This
will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form during use.
6.2.10
Recommend that the appliance should be serviced and the chimney inspected
by a competent person (In the UK a CORGI registered person) at least annually.
If the appliance is in premises in the United Kingdom occupied by a tenant, point out that
by law a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue and pipework which is situated in a
tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every 12 months.
6.2.11
Hand the literature pack with this guide to the customer.
