CLEANING THE TRIM AND PAINTED METAL PARTS
The extruded aluminimum trim that is supplied for use with this product must be
gently cleaned with a damp cloth only.
Abrasive cleaners, chemical cleaning
agents or any type of polish must never be used as damage to the paint may
result.
5.5.2
CLEANING THE FUEL BED
We do not recommend cleaning the fuelbed other than at annual service intervals.
If carbon or soot accumulates on the logs, this should be removed by carefully
brushing the fuelbed using a soft brush. For instructions on how to remove the
glass panel please see page 43.
The log set is made from a form of refractory
ceramic fibre and should be handled carefully to avoid generating dust, as
this may be harmful if inhaled. As with some fibrous materials, handling
fibrous materials without gloves could cause skin irritation.
The fuelbed should never be washed or exposed to any cleaning agents or
water
.
Any damaged parts must be replaced by contacting your dealer, whose details
may be found on the BFM Europe website, address on the rear page. The log
set must only be replaced with a genuine replacement and the fire must never be
run with a different log set fitted.
The log set must be carefully reassembled as stated in pages 38-42.
5.5.3
CLEANING THE GLASS PANEL
To clean the glass panel, first ensure that the fire is cool,
please note that the
glass panel will remain hot for a considerable period when the fire has been
switched off.
Remove the glass frame assembly from the product as described
on page 43. Use a clean damp cloth and ceramic glass cleaner to remove any
stains or deposits frm the glass panel. Do not using scouring pads as this may
scratch the surface finish of the glass panel.
PLEASE NOTE
:- The glass will require cleaning periodically. Condensation
produced by the products of combustion will create marks on the inside face of the
glass panel.
