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 up to 75mm forward of the fixing plane of the fire are

to be a minimum of 125mm from the fireplace opening.

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

fire are to be a minimum of 178mm from the fireplace opening.

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

Don’t

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

Don’t

add any extra fuel effect pieces above the number stated in this guide. This could

cause a safety hazard.

Don’t 

put paper or any other material on the fire.

Don’t

place any combustible material (rugs, carpet, plastic tiles, etc.) on the hearth.

Don’t 

attempt to clean or service the fire until it has been switched off and allowed to

cool completely.
