IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•
The appliance is for use on Natural Gas (G20 @ 20mbar) or L.P.G. (G31 @ 37mbar) only.
•
The chimney or flue (unless new or previously used with a gas appliance) shall be swept before installation if
it has been used for solid fuel.
•
Failure to install appliance correctly could lead to prosecution.
•
In GB (Great Britain), the appliance must be installed by a competent person i.e. GAS SAFE-registered, in
accordance with the GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS, The Building Regulations (or The
Building Regulations (Scotland) or The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland)) and The Current I.E.E. Wiring
Regulations, if appropriate.
•
In IE (Ireland), the appliance must be installed by a competent person and installed in accordance with the
current edition of I.S.813 Domestic Gas Installation, the current Building Regulations and the current ETCI rules
for electrical installation, if appropriate.
•
The glass front of this fire acts as a dress guard, conforming to BS 1945 (1997) however; a fireguard conforming
to BS6539 (1997) must be used to protect young children, the elderly or infirm.
•
The appliance MUST NOT be used with the glass safety screen removed or if it is damaged or cracked.
•
During initial firing, an odour may be evident. This is the starch binder used during the manufacture of the
fibre components of the fire, and there are
no harmful
effects produced.
•
During the normal operation of the fire some black staining may appear on some parts of the fuel bed. This is
quite normal and adds to the appearance of the appliance. However, if excessive black staining does occur it
may be due to the fuel bed being incorrectly laid. This should be checked prior to contacting a service engineer.
•
When using black glass liners care should be taken to ensure flames do not make contact with them as this
will result in staining or permanent marking.
•
Care must be taken to prevent any damage being caused to surrounding soft furnishing or decoration; e.g.
many embossed vinyl wall coverings may become discoloured if placed too close to the appliance. Combustible
material i.e. wall panelling or wallpaper must be removed from behind the fire and fire trim.
•
It is advised that this appliance is serviced annually as recommended by Gas Safe. This is more likely to provide
trouble-free operation and is a requirement of the extended parts warranty.(see page 20)
•
In GB (Great Britain) the fire does not normally require purpose built ventilation, but if for any special reason
purpose built ventilation is provided it should be checked periodically to ensure freedom from obstructions.
•
In IE (Ireland) permanent ventilation must comply with the current edition of IS813.
