MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance.
In order to achieve and maintain high levels of personal safety and performance
efficiency, it is essential that the opening at the back of the fire and the flue are kept
clear of any form of obstruction. It is possible that deposits of mortar or soot could fall
and accumulate causing the flue to be blocked or restricted and so preventing proper
clearance of dangerous exhaust fumes.
In the United Kingdom it is the law that a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue
and pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least
every twelve months by a competent person (In the UK a GAS SAFE REGISTER
engineer, Outside of the UK a CORGI or GAS SAFE REGISTER engineer).
We recommend that all gas appliances and their flues, wherever situated, are
checked annually.
When fitting replacement parts it is important that only approved parts are
used for maximum safety.
