INSTALLATION NOTES
In your own interest and for safety, in the United Kingdom, it is the law that all gas appliances are installed by competent persons in
accordance with the current edition of the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations and Amendments. Failure to install the appliance
correctly could lead to prosecution. The Confederation for the Registration of Gas Installers (CORGI) requires its members to work to
recognised standards.
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.
This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or asbestos related products.
The appliance data label is on the control plate below the right side of the burner tray. It is visible when the bottom front cover is removed.
