Always turn off the gas and isolate the electric supply before commencing any
servicing and make sure that the appliance is cold. (The inlet elbow for this
appliance incorporates an isolating valve).

This product uses fuel effect pieces, burner compartment walls and gaskets
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, 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 articles, but we 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.
