•
Do
provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 6539 or 6778 for the
protection of young children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also
recommended for the protection of pet animals. (Although this fire conforms to
all the applicable standards, it is a heating appliance and certain parts of its
surface will become hot.).
•
Do
wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or
the flames are extinguished for any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety
device that will automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any
reason, the flames go out.).
•
Do
get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft
wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily
affected by heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close
to a heating appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering
redecorating.
•
Do
provide a minimum side clearance as detailed in figure 1. Please bear this in
mind if ever you are considering altering the room.
•
Don’t
hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the front of the fire.
•
Don’t
add any extra coals above the number stated in this guide. This could
cause a safety hazard.
•
Don’t
put paper or any other material on the fire.
•
Don’t
place any combustible material (rugs, carpet, plastic tiles, etc.) on the
hearth.
•
Don’t
attempt to clean or service the fire until it has been switched off and
allowed to cool completely.
