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 fire and wait for
the appliance to cool completely. The fire will retain heat for some time before
cleaning can begin.
- If any pieces of debris are found in the convector box, have the chimney inspected
before further use.

Trim, Metal and painted parts.

- Clean the metal and painted parts with a slightly damp, lint free non-abrasive cloth
and then dry.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, as these will scratch the fire surface.

Removing and cleaning the window assembly.

Removal of the window assembly is only necessary if you wish to clean the rear of
the window or access the ceramic components. The window assembly can be
cleaned with a mild detergent and water. Glass cleaner can also be used. Any stains
on the glass can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner such as a ceramic hob
cleaner. Never use abrasive cleaners. Clean the window carefully in accordance with
the instructions supplied with the cleaner.
1. The window door panel is secured at the bottom with two
hand tightened M5 knurled screws.
2. With both knurled screws removed, gently pull the base of
the window panel forward. Hold the window panel base and lift
upward until clear.
3. To remove the window door panel easier remove the visual
baffle first.

Ceramic fuel effect log pieces and convector box compartment walls.

To gain access to the ceramic components the window door assembly must be
removed as in the previous section.
This product uses fuel effect pieces, burner compartment walls and ceramic
pebbles 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.
