IMPORTANT NOTES

The installation and Servicing of this fire MUST only be carried out by a competent person (such as a
GAS SAFE registered fitter) in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998,
the relevant British Standards, Codes of Practice, the Building Regulations and the manufacturer's
instructions.

Failure to comply with the above recommendations could lead to prosecution and invalidate the appli-
ance warranty. This appliance is only suitable for the gas type for which it is supplied.

Always keep a note of the installer's name and address, GAS SAFE registration number, the original pur-
chase receipt and the date of installation for future reference. Failure to produce these documents may
invalidate the warranty.

The appliance must be serviced annually to ensure continued safe operation.  See the servicing section
for further reference.

• 

The guard (glass front) is to prevent risk of fire or injury from burns and no part of it should be per-

manently removed. 

It Does Not Give Full Protection For Young Children Or The Infirm.

Parts of

this appliance become naturally hot during use.  It is recommended that a suitable fireguard is used,
especially where young children, pets, the elderly or infirm are concerned. The manufacturer of this
appliance considers all surfaces as working surfaces with the exception of the control knob and control
panel. 

• 

Combustible items, such as flooring and furniture and soft wall coverings (such as blown vinyl or

embossed paper), low temperature surrounds etc may discolour if fitted too close to the fire.  See rel-
evant section for further details on clearances to combustibles.  No combustible materials or flooring
should protrude onto the hearth (if fitted).

This appliance incorporates a combustion monitoring system (ODS).

DO NOT burn any foreign material on this fire. Under no circumstances shall the appliance be used if
the glass front door or panel has been removed, damaged or is open.

DO NOT place any objects on top of the appliance, or cover the outlet grille in any way. DO NOT oper-
ate the appliance with any parts removed or missing.

The integral catalysts should be checked by the installer upon servicing to ensure there are no defects
or obstructions that may prevent the satisfactory flow of combustion products.

The expected life of the catalyst is in excess of 11,000 hours (10 years of normal use). After this time
the catalyst should be replaced.

This appliance is only suitable for the gas type for which it is supplied.

It should be noted that heaters create warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces
next to the heater. Installing the heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating the heater
where impurities in the air (such as tobacco smoke) exist, may discolour walls.

WARNING: Due to the nature of this product the area around the top of the appliance (i.e. the grille)
gets very hot. Care should be taken when operating the appliance.

FIREFRONT

This fire is supplied with a particular style of fire front.  Use of the fire front will ensure an adequate
airflow under the firebox for the correct functioning of this appliance. Compliance with safety standards
cannot be guaranteed when another style of front is used.
