About your Verine Midas HE
The Verine Midas HE range of coal & pebble fuel-bed gas fires incorporates a
unique and highly developed fuel bed which gives the realism of a loose coal or
pebble layout combined with realistic flames and glow. The use of durable
ceramic material in the construction of the fuel-bed components ensures long and
trouble free operation.
When first using the new fire a slight smell may be noticed. This is due to starch
used in the manufacture of the soft ceramic coal or pebble form, it is non-toxic and
will soon disappear.
Please take the time to fully read these instructions as you will then be able to
obtain the most effective and safe operation of your fire.
