3. CLEANING
Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before
attempting any cleaning. Note that the fire will
retain heat for some time after it has been
turned off.
If large pieces of debris are found anywhere
in the fireplace, have the chimney inspected
before further use.
Metal parts
Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp
cloth and then dry. Do not use abrasive
cleaners, they could scratch the surface.
Coals and burner compartment walls
This product uses a fuel effect pieces and
burner compartment walls containing
Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are
man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive
exposure to this material may cause
temporary irritation to 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.
Light coatings of soot will usually be burnt off
during the normal operation of the fire. Should
any soot accumulation become excessive, the
fuel effect pieces and walls should be
removed from the fire for cleaning. Cleaning
should be carried out in a well ventilated area
or in the open air by gently brushing with the
pieces held away from your face so that you
avoid inhaling the dust. We do not
recommend the use of a normal domestic
vacuum cleaner which may blow
dust back into the air. We suggest that you
remove the coals in the reverse order to that
shown in the fuel bed refitting instructions.
Ceramic burner
Remove any deposits of soot or other foreign
matter from the solid areas of the burner with
a dry soft brush. Be careful not to brush any
particles into the open slots. Remove any
particles from the slots with a vacuum cleaner
fitted with a soft brush attachment. Do not
poke wire, etc. into the slots in the burner.

compartment. The bottom rear face of the coal
should rest on the angled ledge at the back of
the burner compartment. The bottom front
recessed edge of the coal base should locate
against the step in the burner plaques (See
figure 4).
(Installer - Note that the small round holes in
the burner plaques which will be covered by
the base coal are not gas burner ports. They
are simply a consequence of the plaque
manufacturing process).
