This appliance
MUST

Any permanent flue restriction must be removed and any variable dampers locked fully open or removed. If the flue has been
used previously for solid fuel, it MUST be swept PRIOR to installation.
Care must be taken on the selection of wall coverings within close proximity of the appliance as some vinyl and embossed
materials may become discoloured by convected heat. Soft furnishings must be kept clear from the radiant heat of the appliance
and from impinging the hearth area. Combustible materials must not be put on or left in the hearth area nor should the coal bed
be used to burn rubbish or other materials.
This appliance uses fuel effect components, gaskets and insulation material containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre, (RCF), which
are man-made vitreous silicate fibres.
Excessive
exposure to such material may cause temporary irritation to the eyes, skin and
respiratory tract. Consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept
to a minimum.
This appliance is fitted with an ODS, a spillage monitoring system which operates if the evacuation of products is interrupted (i.e.
blocked or incorrect flueing). If the appliance repeatedly `
goes out’
it may indicate a problem and the installer or specialist should
be consulted before further use.
The minimum temperature rating of any back panel or hearth must have a minimum fire resistance rating of CLASS 0 (100
o
C).
Materials used in the manufacture of this appliance
DO NOT
contain asbestos.
When fitting or servicing this appliance, care must be taken when handling sheet metal parts to avoid any possibility of personal

Registered Installer and have the operation of the flue checked.
