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:
The minimum allowable distance from the outside of the fascia to a corner wall having
combustible material or any other combustible surface which projects beyond the front
of the appliance is 100mm.
A 10mm access clearance from a non-combustible surface is necessary at both sides.
Don’t
hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the fire.
Don’t
add any extra fuel effect pieces above the number stated in the installer and
owner guide supplied with the ceramic fuel effect. The installer may have attached it to
this guide or placed it inside. Adding extra fuel effect pieces could cause a safety hazard
and consequent health hazards.
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.
