Warning : Use only the coal or pebble fuel-bed supplied with the fire. When
replacing the coal or pebble fuel-bed remove the old coal or pebble fuel-bed
and discard it. Fit a complete coal or pebble fuel-bed from the manufacturer,
only use genuine replacements.
THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IS APPLICABLE TO ALL FUEL-BED TYPES
This appliance uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres
(R.C.F.), 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 R.C.F. articles is kept to a minimum,
during installation & 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 arrticles, but we do 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.
This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from
asbestos or asbestos related products.

Cleaning - WARNING
Before attempting any cleaning operation ensure that the fire has been allowed to
fully cool. The Brass fret that was supplied with the fire (dependent upon model
chosen) is real brass and therefore will discolour with use and should be cleaned
with a proprietory metal polish. The chrome & brass effect trims and chrome effect
fret that was supplied with the fire (dependent upon model chosen) should only be
cleaned with a clean, damp cloth.
The trim is best cleaned in position on the fire when the appliance is not running
and is cool. Black painted metal parts should be gently cleaned with a damp cloth.
To clean the glass panel, please remove it from the product as described on page
11. Use a clean damp cloth and ceramic glass cleaner to remove any stains or
deposits from the glass panel. Do not using scouring pads as this may scratch the
surface finish of the glass panel.
PLEASE NOTE :- The glass will require cleaning periodically. Condensation
produced by the products of combustion will create marks on the inside face of the
glass panel.
