Carbon Monoxide Alarm.
Your installer should have fitted a Carbon Monoxide alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm
sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” above.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Protection of Heat
As on all heat producing appliances the use of flammable wall coverings and combustible materials directly
above or to the sides of the fire may lead to a fire hazard. Please bear this in mind when installing the appliance
or decorating.
Fire Surrounds and Shelves
If in doubt always consult the building regulations regarding the proximity of combustible materials.
Some fire surrounds require the fire to be set forward from the chimney breast or to be raised for aesthetic
reasons. Ensure that these requirements are taken into account when positioning the fire. Take this into account
when forming the recess and front finished face of the fireplace for the fire. Surrounds should be suitable for use
with a solid fuel fire.
Use the table below to achieve the minimum distances to combustible surrounds.

In certain cases, further protection may be required to guard against heat on combustible materials, such as
increasing the shelf height or shielding with a non-combustible material.
This is because of the variability of the heat produced from a solid fuel fire.
It is dependent on the quality of fuel used and the refuelling frequency.
Pictures and TV’s
Due to the extreme temperatures that can be a
chieved above the fire, always ensure that any TV’s, paintings or
other combustible items that may be near do not become excessively hot. For TV’s always consult the
manufacturer’s instructions to see if exposure to heat will cause damage.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THE 16i, 18i, 50i AND 60i INSET APPLIANCES ARE DESIGNED AND
APPROVED TO BURN WOOD IN A SMOKE CONTROLLED AREA
WHEN FITTED AND OPERATED IN LINE WITH THESE NSTRUCTIONS.
Lighting after Installation
A Jetmaster should not be run hard until all cement and plasterwork is completely dry and cured. As a basic
guide the installer should
a. Allow a 7-day drying time if the house has other forms of heating.
b. Allow at least 14 days if the installation is in a new or unoccupied property, or is fitted into a completely new
chimney breast.
