All instructions must be handed to the user for safekeeping. Show the customer how to light and control the fire. After com-
missioning the appliance, the customer should be instructed on the safe use of the appliance and the need for regular servicing. Frequency
of service depends on usage, but MUST be carried out at least every 12 months. Advise that cleaning of the fire may be achieved when
the fire is cold using a damp cloth and mild detergent on most surfaces.
Scratched and other superficial damage to the matt black paintwork of the appliance can be covered with matching heatproof spray. Use
only the manufacturers’ recommended spray paint. Paint only when the fire is OFF and cold. Always mask off the surrounding area to
prevent contamination with overspray. Ventilate the room during the use of the spray. DO NOT attempt to spray paint the coals or
ceramics, or wash them in water.
Advise that the fire may emit a “newness” smell for a time after initial commissioning and that extra ventilation may be needed during
this time. Advise that the fire is fitted with a spillage safety device (O.D.S.). If the fire shuts down, this system may be in operation.
If spillage is suspected, SWITCH APPLIANCE OFF and call in the installer to investigate any problems.
Ensure that the fire is fully cold before attempting service. A suggested procedure for servicing is detailed below.
1. Lay out the dust sheet and tools.
2. Carefully remove the firefront casting, and ceramic components.
3. Check around the top of the fireplace opening for signs of spillage.
4. Isolate the gas supply at the appliance inlet elbow, and disconnect the gas supply pipe. Remove the two screws
securing the tray to the front support.
5. Lift the burner tray from the chair brick.
6. Check the flue with smoke pellet for correct operation.
7. Strip off the burner pipes and clean thoroughly.
8. Clean out the injector and pilot assembly. DO NOT attempt to dismantle the pilot unit.
9. Ensure the injector is aligned squarely with the venturi tube. Re-assemble and re-fit the burner tray.
10. Re fit and replace the ceramics, using genuine spares where necessary.
11. Re-fit the decorative front.
12. Turn on the gas supply, and leak test.
13. Check any purpose provided ventilation is un-obstructed.
14. Light the fire and test for spillage.
15. Check operating pressure and safe operation of the appliance.
For specific servicing instructions, see the relevant sections.
Remove the firefront and place to one side. Remove the ceramic components. Gently clean in the open air. Be careful not to create
dust from the coals. Where necessary replace damaged components with genuine spares. Seal scrap components in plastic bags and
dispose of at proper refuse sites as directed. Re-fit the ceramics carefully by referring to the relevant section of the user instructions.
Protect the hearth from potential damage.
Remove the two screws securing the tray to the front support and withdraw from the
fireplace opening/chairbrick.
Remove the burner unit as previously described. The pilot unit can be removed by withdrawing the tubing nut, the thermocouple nut on
the rear of the valve, and the two securing screws, and lifting away. Remove the tubing nut from the valve end of the pilot pipe, and blow
through to dislodge any debris.
Remove the two tubing nuts on the ends of the gas pipe to the injector elbow and blow clear. Release the screw through the supporting
leg and lift assembly clear. The injector pipe can now be checked for debris. Remove the nut retaining the injector elbow. Blow through
the elbow to remove any debris.
