9.1
Place the fire front castings in position.
9.2
Visually inspect the appliance. Clean off
any marks incurred during installation.
9.3
Hand this guide and the owner’s guide to
the customer.
9.4
Advise the customer how to operate the
appliance. Point out that lighting
instruction details are on the metal plate
attached at the bottom of the appliance
(Leave the plate visible in front of the
bottom front cover as a reminder.
9.5
Explain to the customer that the appliance
has a flame failure & spillage monitoring
system. Point out the explanation of this
system shown in the owner’s guide under
“Operating the fire”. Advise that if the fire
goes out for any reason, wait at least
three minutes before relighting.
Stress that if the monitoring system
repeatedly shuts off the fire, the appliance
should be switched off and a specialist
should be consulted.
9.6
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”.
9.7
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.
9.8
Advise the customer that the appliance
will operate to its maximum potential if
the flue is primed during the first 20 - 30
minutes of use. To do this, simply slide
the control to its highest setting. This will
also burn off any carbon deposits that
may have formed during previous use.
If using the appliance for long periods it is
beneficial to change between settings.
This will also help to remove any carbon
deposits that may form during use.
This is explained in the Owner’s manual
under the section ‘Operating the Fire’.
Point this out to the customer before
leaving.
9.9
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.
•
Always turn off the gas supply before
commencing any servicing (The inlet
elbow for this appliance incorporates an
isolating valve).
•
This product uses fuel effect pieces,
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,
