As with any gas appliance, this fire must be installed
by a competent person. In the United Kingdom,
installation must be in accordance with the latest
edition of the Gas Safety (installation & use)
Regulations.
In the Republic of Ireland, installation must be in
accordance with all national and local regulations in
force.
2.
If the fire is intended to be installed to a chimney
which was previously used for solid fuel, please note
that the chimney must be swept prior to installation.
3.
On no account must the fire stand on carpets or
other combustible materials. The fire must stand
behind a non-combustible hearth surface. The
hearth material must be at least 12mm thick. Its top
surface should be 50mm above floor level to
discourage placing carpets. Rugs or other
combustible materials over the hearth. The
minimum size of the hearth is shown in figure 1.
4.
If the fire is intended to be installed against a wall
with combustible cladding, the cladding must be
removed from the area covered by the outer
surround (see figure 1).
5.
The minimum height from the top surface of the
hearth to the underside of any shelf made from wood
or other combustible material and which is not more
than 150mm deep is 818mm.
For shelves deeper than 150mm add 12.5mm to the
above clearance for every 25mm of additional shelf
depth.
When operating your fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which may cause a slight odour and could possibly set off any
smoke alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new appliances. They are totally harmless and will disappear
after a few hours use.
This fire is supplied with ceramic "coals" to simulate a real coal fire. These items are designed for easy refitting if removed.
After some use, the ceramic walls and coals may change colour. This is quite normal
SAFETY
IF YOU SMELL GAS
6.
Never put any paper or other material on the fire.
Never add any extra coals above the number stated in
these instructions. This could cause a safety hazard.
7.
It should be appreciated that although this appliance
conforms to all the applicable standards, it is a
decorative fuel effect heating appliance and certain
parts of its surface will become hot. A suitable guard
which complies with BS 6539 or 6778 should be used
for the protection of young children, the elderly and
the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for the
protection of pet animals.
8.
Always switch the fire off and allow to cool before
handling. Note that this appliance retains heat for
some time after it has been switched off.
9.
Never hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over
the fire.
10.
This appliance is fitted with an Oxysafe device which
will automatically shut off the supply of gas to the
fire if, for any reason, the flames go out. If this device
does operate or if the fire is turned off accidentally or
intentionally, always wait three minutes before
attempting to relight.
11.
Soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl etc.), are
easily affected by heat. They may, therefore, scorch
or become discoloured when close to a heating
appliance. Please bear this in mind when having a
heating appliance installed and when redecorating.
