ABOUT YOUR NEW FLAVEL WINDSOR / STIRLING PLUS GAS FIRE
The The Flavel Windsor & Stirling Plus coal effect gas fires incorporate a unique
and highly developed fuel bed which gives the realism of a loose coal layout com-
bined with realistic flames and glow. The use of durable ceramic material in the
construction of the fuelbed components ensures long and trouble free operation.
When first using the new fire a slight smell may be noticed. This is due to starch
used in the manufacture of the soft ceramic coals / pebbles, it is non-toxic and will
soon disappear.
Please take the time to fully read these instructions as you will then be able to
obtain the most effective and safe operation of your fire.
