Cleaning Your Fire - Baxi 748 Owner's Manual

To maintain the high performance and quality finish of your gas fire, please follow these
guidelines:
Before attempting to clean the fire, please remember to turn off the fire and wait for
!
the appliance to cool. The fire will retain heat for some time before cleaning can begin.
If any pieces of debris are found in the hotbox, 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 as these will scratch the fire surface.
!
Fascia - Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and then dry. Do not use
!
polish or abrasive materials.
'Chic', 'Envy'and 'Westminster' fascia - To remove fingerprints from the fascia apply
a very small amount of 'baby oil' to a lint free, non-abrasive cloth and wipe over the
surface. Use a clean cloth to wipe off the oil.
Ceramic fuel effect and 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 irritation to eyes, skin
and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important 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 rear wall
!
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 suggest that you remove the ceramic fuel effect pieces in the reverse order to
!
that shown in the ceramic fuel effect installer and owner guide.
Burner.
The burner surface can be carefully cleaned to remove any loose particles after
!
taking off the ceramic fuel effect pieces. Make sure that no particles are pushed into the
burner holes.
