Compleng the Installaon of the Appliance
Remove the protecve covering (if applicable) from the face of the decorave trim. Fit the trim to the appliance
with the magnets provided. One magnet should be placed in each corner of the trim at the top of the appliance
and on each side about 120mm from the base of the appliance. In the case of slide control appliances care
should be taken that the magnet does not come into contact with any moving parts of the lever mechanism.
This advice should also be passed onto the consumer to ensure that they are aware of magnet posioning. A
service call due to incorrect placement of magnets which cause difficulty in lighng the appliance will result in a
callout charge being made.
Fix the front bars to the trim according to the instrucons supplied with the appliance or posion the fret in
front of the fire, ensuring that the ashpan cover is sing correctly and allows access to the controls (for manual
control models).
THE INSTALLER MUST INFORM THE CUSTOMER OF THE FOLLOWING TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION
Demonstrate the lighng of the appliance and the controls to control the heat sengs. Demonstrate how to
exnguish the fire.
Demonstrate the removal of the trim and fret and how to reinstall correctly.
Discuss the removal and reinstallaon of the glass and the ceramics. Explain how they should be cleaned and
make the customer aware of the health and safety warning detailed later in these instrucons.
Explain to the customer that the ceramics are fragile and must be treated with great care, explain that the
ceramics are not covered by the warranty because of their fragility. Also explain that small hairline cracks will
appear in the surface of the ceramics due to heat expansion and contracon—this is perfectly normal.
During the first several hours of use an odour will be experienced—this is normal and is the starch used in the
manufacturing of the ceramic fuel bed. This odour is non toxic and will eventually disappear with use.
Advise that no rubbish should be thrown onto the appliance and that the appliance should be cleaned regularly.
A vacuum cleaner can be used but it is important that the appliance is turned off and allowed to cool before
undertaking this procedure. See the separate secon regarding cleaning the ceramics.
Advise the customer that the appliance should be serviced annually by a gas safe engineer to ensure the safety
and integrity of the appliance.
Advise the customer that the appliance has a hot glass surface and therefore it is essenal that a suitable
fireguard be used for the protecon of the elderly, infirm and young children. This fireguard should conform to
BS8423 : 2002 (Fireguards or use with Gas Heang Appliances).
These instrucons
must
be handed over to the customer once installaon is complete.
