Warning : Use only the pebbles supplied with the fire. When replacing the

pebbles remove the old pebbles and discard them. Fit a complete

set of pebbles of the correct type. Do not fit additional pebbles or

any pebbles other than a genuine replacement set.

To ensure that the release of fibres from these R.C.F (Refractory Ceramic

Fibre) articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing we

recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust

accumulated in and around the appliance before and after working on the

appliance. When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced

items are not broken up, but are sealed within heavy duty polythene bags,

clearly labelled as "RCF waste". RCF waste is classed as a "stable", non

reactive hazardous waste and may be disposed of at a landfill licensed to

accept such waste Protective clothing is not required when handling these

articles, but we recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not

smoking, eating or drinking in the work area, and always wash your hands

before eating or drinking.

CLEANING THE FIRE - WARNING

Before attempting any cleaning operation ensure that the fire has been allowed to

fully cool. The chrome and black sections of the fascia should only also be

cleaned with a clean, damp cloth.

The trim is best cleaned in position on the fire when the appliance is not running

and is cool. Black painted metal parts should be gently cleaned with a damp cloth.

5.6

We do not recommend cleaning of the coals or fuelbed components as these are

fragile and damage may result. None of these parts must be washed or

exposed to any cleaning agents or water. Any damaged parts must be

replaced by contacting your dealer or telephoning BFM Europe Ltd. on the number

stated on the rear cover of this book. The coals / pebbles must only be replaced

with a complete and genuine replacement set and the fire must never be run with

the wrong number or damaged coals or pebbles. The fuel-bed must be carefully

re-assembled as stated in section 5.3 / 5.4, pages 44-52.
