This appliance uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres
(R.C.F.), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to
these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory
tract. Consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these arti-
cles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that
the release of fibres from these R.C.F. articles is kept to a minimum, during
installation & servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum
to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire, before and
after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we recommend that
the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty
polythene bag, clearly labelled as “RCF waste”. This is not classified as
“hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the
disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is not required when
handling these arrticles, but we do recommend you follow the normal
hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area, and
always wash your hands before eating or
drinking.
This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from
asbestos or asbestos related products.
Refit the glass frame as detailed in section 2.8, then light the appliance as detailed
in section 3.4 / 3.5 as applicable.

MAKING THE GAS CONNECTION & CHECKING FOR GAS
TIGHTNESS
a)
Before making the final gas connection, thoroughly purge the gas
supply pipework to remove all foreign matter, otherwise serious
damage may be caused to the gas control valve on the fire.
Failure to purge the gas supply will invalidate the guarantee.
b)
The gas connection should be made to the appliance inlet elbow to
using 8mm rigid tubing.
c)
Remove the pressure test point screw from the inlet elbow and fit a
manometer.
d)
Turn on the main gas supply and carry out a gas tightness test.
