FIRECHARM R.S. Electronic
Room Sealed Live Fuel Effect Gas Fire
G.C. No. 32 689 43 (BLACK) G.C. No. 32 689 44 (BRONZE)
The FIRECHARM R.S. Electronic is a room sealed, live fuel effect gas fire with coals. The outer case is available in two colours,
antique bronze or black.
It has a balanced flue system which takes air for combustion from the outside and discharges products of combustion to the
outside. It must be mounted on an external wall and can stand on a non-combustible hearth or suitable fire surround. There are
four heat settings operated by turning the control knob which is located at the top right hand side of the fire. The burner system
is designed to give various flame effects at the respective heat settings.
Ignition is by battery spark generator operated by turning and pressing the knob to light the pilot. It has a thermo electric flame
supervision device for safety. Use only the coal bed supplied with this fire. Do not use any other material or burn any rubbish on
the fire. Do not use the fire with a broken or damaged fuel bed or with a broken or cracked glass.

force and Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, by a competent person, i.e. a Gas Safe registered Engineer.

A fireguard conforming to
B.S. 8423 (Fireguards for heating appliances for domestic use) should be used for the protection
of children, the elderly or the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for pet animals.

A minimum clearance of 500mm is required to a combustible adjacent wall.
5.
After the fire has been installed you may wish to fix a shelf of combustible material above. This is quite acceptable provided
the dimensions

in shelf clearance for
every 25mm (1in) additional shelf depth.

On the outside wall, the flue terminal (and terminal guard if fitted) must be clear of
obstructions (as for wall heaters).
