Safety instructions for the user
10.1
General safety instructions
If a gas leak is found or suspected, turn off the gas supply at the meter and contact your
installer or gas emergency service.
These instructions should be read carefully and retained for future reference.
Do not use the fire with a broken or damaged glass.
The fire has a safety device which turns off the gas supply if there is a build up from flue
gasses in the combustion room or a temporary gas cut-off. Wait at least
5 minutes before turning the appliance on again. Contact a qualified installer when the
appliance goes off regularly
The appliance has been designed for heating purposes. This means that all surfaces,
including the glass, can become very warm (over 100 °C). An exception to this is the lower
side of the ash tray door and the control buttons.
Due to the newness of materials, they may give off a slight smell for a period after initial
lighting. This is normal, odours will disperse after a few hours use.
Do not place curtains, clothing, laundry, furniture or other flammable materials nearby the
appliance. The required minimum distance is 100 cm.
Switch off the receiver of the remote control if you don’t use the fire for a long time. Do
not let children use the remote control without supervision.
Important
A suitable Fireguard conforming to BS6539 and BS6778 should be used with this appliance
to protect children, the elderly or infirm. Care should also be taken with pets.
In your own interest and that of safety, all gas appliances must be installed by competent
persons. Installation must be in accordance with National Regulations. CORGI registered
installers are required to work to recognised standards.
Note:
Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs. Therefore it is of
importance that you do not use the appliance shortly after a renovation of the home.
Because of the natural circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint,
building materials, carpet etc. will be attracted. These components can settle themselves
down onto cold surfaces in the form of soot. As on all heat producing appliances, soft
furnishings such as blown vinyl wallpaper placed too near to the appliance may become
scorched or discoloured. This should be born in mind when installing the appliance.
We advise you to leave the pilot flame on. Leaving the pilot flame on reduces the amount
of condensation when starting the appliance and increase the life time of the appliance.
