•
Place the front casting in position between the sides of the front surround and place
the bottom front cover casting below the front casting.
•
Visually inspect the appliance. Clean off any marks incurred during installation.
•
Advise the customer how to operate the fire.
•
Explain to the customer that the appliance has a flame failure and spillage monitoring
system. Point out the explanation of this system shown in the owner’s guide.
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.
•
Advise that the fire may give off a slight odour while new. This is quite normal and it
will disappear after a short period of use.
•
Advise that any cleaning must only be carried out when the fire is off and cold.
•
Advise the customer that they should read the Owner’s guide before operating the fire
and always follow the advice in the section headed “Cleaning your fire”.
•
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 turn 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.
•
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.
•
Advise the customer that the castings, front surround, firebox and ceramic pieces can
be cleaned as described in the user’s instructions and that the coal pieces must be
replaced as described in those instructions.
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.
•
Hand the literature pack with this guide to the customer.
