Cleaning and Care Instructions
CAUTION:
Ensure that the appliance is off (including the pilot light) and has
completely cooled (off for at least 2 hours) before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance.
RCF Advice:
This product may use Components Coals, containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres
(RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this
material may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Therefore 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, to ensure that the release of fibres from
these RCF articles is kept to a minimum.
We recommend that you should follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking,
eating or drinking in the work area.
When replacing Components containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), we
recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within
heavy duty polythene bags, and clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste may
be disposed of in suitably licensed landfill sites.
Black Painted Surfaces
;
These surfaces should be dusted regularly and any marks removed with a soft damp cloth.
Brass or Chrome Surfaces;
These surfaces should be cleaned with a proprietary non-abrasive metal cleaner.
Remove the trim (if fitted), the fret and the ash-pan cover before cleaning.
The trim is held in place by means of four magnets at the rear of the trim. The fret and the
ash-pan cover are free standing in front of the fire.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steels need to be cleaned for aesthetic considerations and to preserve corrosion
resistance.
Oil and finger marks can be removed using a glass cleaner or preferably a mild solution of
warm water and detergent.
Scratches can be removed by gently rubbing in the direction of the grain with a 240 grit emery
cloth (or similar). Once the scratch has been completely removed the surface can then be re-
polished using 3M Scotchbrite pads - Fine Grade.
Periodically it may be necessary to coat the entire surface in order to achieve a uniform finish.
This can be achieved by applying a light coat of oil (baby oil) using a soft lint free cloth, then
buffing in line with the grain until the excess is removed.
NOTE: After any cleaning process the surface must be thoroughly dried before lighting
the appliance..
