The Gas Safety (Installation and Use)
Regulations
In your interests and that of safety it is the Law that ALL gas
appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance
with the current issue of the above regulations.
General
These notes should be read and carefully followed for the safe
and economical use of your back boiler and fire front.
Important Notice
This appliance is for use only on G20 gas.
This Glow-worm fire front is to be used with a specially designed
Glow-worm Back Boiler Unit only.
The fire front and back boiler must be fitted as a
complete appliance.
This is a combined central heating back boiler and gas fire front.
The back boiler and fire front can be operated either together or
independently.
In the event of a power or ignition system failure the fire front can
still be used on its own, instructions on how to do this are given
under “Lighting the Fire Front with a Match or Spill”.
A slight smell may occur, for a short time, after initial lighting, this
is quite normal and will quickly disappear.
With a little use the interior of the fire front will discolour and
acquire the appearance of a solid fuel fire.
Combustible furniture must not be placed closer than 1metre in
front of the fire front.
Clothing or other flammable materials must not be placed on the
fire front casing.
The convection air openings at the top of the fire front and air
inlet grilles at the sides and base must never be obstructed.
Important. Soft wall coverings, for example, blown vinyl
wallpaper, are easily affected by heat, they may therefore,
scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating appliance.
This should be borne in mind when having a heating appliance
fitted and when redecorating.
The glass panel on this fire front conforms to the requirements
of the current issue of BS1945 and satisfies the Heating
Appliance (Fireguard) Regulations.
The fire front must not be used if this panel is broken or missing.
WARNING. The glass panel gets very hot when the fire front is
on and MUST NOT be touched.
The glass panel does not provide full protection for the young,
elderly or infirm. In such cases extra security must be provided
by fitting a fireguard which complies with the current issue of
BS6539 “Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances” or the
current issue of BS6778 “Fireguards for use with portable, free
standing or wall mounted heating appliances”.
