Advise the customer how to operate the appliance. Advise the customer that they should read their Owner’s guide before operating the
fire and always follow the advice in the section headed “Cleaning”.
•
Advise the customer that the top, front, sides and back of the appliance are working surfaces and become very hot during use and,

•
Warn
the customer that
under no circumstances is the appliance to be operated with the side door
open
. This may be hazardous.

Explain to the customer that the appliance has a flame failure & spillage monitoring system. Point out the explanation of this system
shown in the user's instructions under “Operating the fire”. Advise that if the fire goes out for any reason wait at least three minutes
before relighting. If the spillage monitoring system has operated then it will not be possible to relight the appliance until the
monitoring system has cooled sufficiently. Stress that if the monitoring system repeatedly shuts off the fire, the appliance should be
switched off and a specialist should be consulted.
•
Advise the customer that the window can be cleaned following the instructions in the User Guide
•
Stress
that no
extra coals must be added over and above those supplied with the appliance and that any replacements must
only be the authorised spares. Warn that ignoring this advice could cause incomplete clearance of the products of combustion
with consequent health hazards.
•
Hand these instructions and the owner’s guide to the customer.
•
Recommend that the appliance should be serviced and the flue checked by a competent person
(In the UK preferably 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
SERVICING
•
Always turn off the gas supply and ensure the appliance is sufficiently cool enough before commencing any servicing.
•
This product uses fuel effect pieces, burner compartment walls and gaskets containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), 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 articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept
to a minimum. To ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and
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 articles, but we 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.
•
Check that the appliance is clean and that no matter is blocking the burner or pilot which may cause imperfect flames or prevent a
correct electrode spark.
•
After servicing, make sure that the ceramic walls and fuel effect pieces are replaced correctly as described in the installation
instructions.
•
Always test for gas soundness after servicing the appliance
.
•
This appliance is fitted with a down draught diverter and blocked flue detector switch. The blocked flue detector switch
must not be rendered inoperable under any circumstances.
