PART3: MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your fire

To maintain the high performance and quality finish of your fire, please follow these guidelines:
•
Before attempting to clean the fire, please remember to turn off the gas at the fire and the
electricity at the isolating switch.
•
Wait for the appliance to cool. The fire will retain heat for some time before cleaning can
begin.
Metal Parts
Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and then dry.
Do not use abrasive cleaners as these will scratch the fire surface.
Coals and burner compartment rear wall
This product uses fuel effect pieces and a burner compartment rear wall 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 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.
Flue terminal
Keep the slots in the flue terminal on the outside wall clear of any obstructions (leaves, snow
etc.)
Ventilation
If any purpose made ventilation was provided for this appliance, make sure that it is always free
from any obstruction.
