Ceramic Coal
•
This product uses a fuel effect piece 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 this article to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a
minimum.
•
Although light coatings of soot are usually burnt off during normal
use, the coal may benefit from occasional cleaning.
•
Should any soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect piece
should be removed from the fire for cleaning. 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 which may blow dust back into the air.
•
The coal can be lifted out of the fire box when the window surround
and glass have been removed as described on page 5.
•
When replacing the coal, make sure that it rests on the ledges at the
sides of the fire box and that its back face is touching the back of the
fire box (see figure 6).
•
Replace the window and surround after cleaning.
-
Make sure that the top of the window frame is fully hooked over
the top edge of the fire box.
-
Make sure that the outside edges of the window surround sides
are inside the outer case.

•
In order to achieve high levels of personal safety and performance efficiency it is
essential that the opening at the back (i.e. the flue) of the fire is kept clear of any
form of obstruction.
•
If the chimney has previously been user for solid fuel fires, or is of normal
construction, deposits of mortar and soot can fall and accumulate until the flue
becomes blocked or restricted.
•
The chimney should be checked annually to ensure continued clearance of the
combustion products and that no dangerous build up of debris has occurred.
