Ceramic Fuel Pieces and Firebox Walls
This appliance uses firebox walls and fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF),
which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this material 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.
Light coatings of soot will usually be burnt off during the normal operation of the fire. Should any
soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect pieces should be removed from the fire for
cleaning. The front and rear base coals are fragile and should be handled carefully. Cleaning should
be carried out in a well ventilated area or in the open air by gently brushing with the pieces held away
from your face so that you avoid inhaling the dust. We do not recommend the use of a normal
domestic vacuum cleaner that may blow dust back into the air. We
suggest that you remove the coals in the reverse order to that shown
in the fuel bed refitting instructions.
The Glass Window
Any stains on the glass can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner
such as a ceramic hob cleaner.
Never use abrasive cleaners.
Clean
the window carefully in accordance with the instructions supplied
with the cleaner. Before attempting to clean the glass, carefully
remove the ceramic coals and ceramic walls from the firebox area to
prevent damage.
1.
Open the side door by turning the handle clockwise.
2.
Remove the two screws from the ceramic support bracket. The
side of the support bracket can now be removed. (See figure 3)
3.
Carefully remove the ceramic coals and side walls from the
firebox and place to one side. Use a protective surface covering to
avoid marking.
4.
After cleaning replace the ceramics as below.
Close the door and lock by rotating the brass door handle
clockwise.
The opening door feature is only intended for cleaning and servicing purposes.
U
nder no
circumstances is the appliance to be operated with the side door open
. This
may be hazardous.
REFITTING THE CERAMIC WALLS & FUEL PIECES
1.
Fit one of the ceramic side walls into the slot of the ceramic support bracket at the far
side of the firebox. Leave sufficient space to insert the edge of the rear wall behind the side
wall. Fix the side wall into position using the retaining clamp. (See figure 4).
2.
Fit the edge of the rear ceramic wall behind the side wall. The rear ceramic wall will rest
on the base of the casting (see figure 5)
3.
Fit the rear base piece into position behind the burner and position it so that its rear is
flat against the rear ceramic wall (See figure 6).
4.
Fit the front base piece locating the ledge / slot that is underneath the base piece over the
metal burner strip (See figure 7).
5.
Place the 5 coal pieces on the base pieces (See figure 8).
6.
The three large coals should be at the front, the two small coals at the back.
7.
Fit the remaining ceramic side wall into the slot of the ceramic support bracket
previously removed. Fix the side wall into position using the retaining clamp.
8.
Fit the ceramic support bracket in place using the two screws previously removed.
9.
Close the door and secure shut by turning the handle clockwise.
