MAKE FINAL CHECKS AND INSTRUCT USER
15.1
Recheck the operation of the fire on all control positions.
15.2
Instruct the user on the correct operation of the fire and especially point out the following:-
15.2.1
The fire has a pilot. To light the pilot, the control knob must be depressed and turned to the IGN position.
15.2.2
The pilot flame can be viewed to ensure that it is alight. Show the user where to view the pilot. Point out the
illustration in the users instructions showing how to view the pilot.
15.2.3
Point out that the pilot can be left alight. Advise though, that the pilot consumes approximately 1/3kW and also
that if the premises are to be left unoccupied for a lengthy period the pilot should be turned off.
15.2.4
Explain the full lighting and control position sequence and how to turn off.
15.3
Advise that the fire can be lit with a long match or taper if necessary.
15.4
Advise the user that the window will require cleaning periodically both outside and inside as described in the
users instructions. Explain how to remove and replace the window unit and fuel effects for cleaning etc. Stress that
cleaning should only be carried out when the fire is cold.
15.5
Advise that the fire may give off a slight odour while new. This is normal and it will disappear after a short period
of use.
15.6
Advise the user that the bright metal firebox interior will colour with use and that this is quite normal.
15.7
Emphasise that if the glass panel is broken or damaged, the fire should be turned off and not used until the
window unit is refitted with an authorised replacement.
15.8
Recommend that the appliance should be serviced and the chimney inspected by a competent person
(In the UK a
CORGI registered person)
at least annually.
If the appliance is in premises in the United Kingdom occupied by a tenant, point out that by law a landlord must have any gas appliance,
flue and pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every 12 months.
15.9
Hand over to the customer these instructions, the users instructions and the smoke match tube.
