Do
provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 8423 for the protection of young
children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for the
protection of pet animals. (Although this fire conforms to all the applicable
standards, it is a heating appliance and certain parts of its surface will become hot).
Do
wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or the
flames are extinguished for any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety device that will
automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any reason, the flames
go out.).
Do
get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft wall
coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily affected
by heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating
appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.
Do
provide a minimum side clearance as detailed below. Please bear this in mind if ever
you are considering altering the room.

Combustible side projections greater than 75mm forward of the fixing plane of the

!
Non-combustible side projections to be 75mm from the fireplace opening.

hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the front of the fire.

cause a safety hazard.

put paper or any other material on the fire.
Don’t
