INSTALLER GUIDE
16. FINAL REVIEW
1. Visually inspect the appliance. Clean off any marks incurred during installation.
2. Advise the customer how to operate the fire.
3. Explain to the customer that the appliance has a flame failure and spillage monitoring
system. Point out the explanation of this system shown in the owner's guide.
Advise that if the fire goes out for any reason, wait at least three minutes before
relighting. Stress that if the monitoring system repeatedly shuts off the fire, the
appliance should be switched off and a specialist should be consulted. Point out that the
lighting instruction details are on a metal plate attached at the bottom of the appliance.
4. Advise that the fire may give off a slight odour while new. This is quite normal and
it will disappear after a short period of use.
5. Advise that any cleaning must only be carried out when the fire is off and cold.
6. Advise the customer that they should read the Owner's guide before operating the fire
and always follow the advice in the section headed "Cleaning".
7. Advise the customer that the appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the
flue is primed during the first 20 – 30 minutes of use. To do this, simply turn the control
to its highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed
during previous use.
If using the appliance for long periods it is beneficial to change between settings. This
will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form during use.
8. Recommend that the appliance should be serviced and the chimney inspected by a
competent person (In the UK a CORGI registered person) at least annually.
If the appliance is in premises in the United Kingdom occupied by a tenant, point out
that by law a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue and pipework which is situated
in a tenant's premises checked for safety at least every 12 months.
9. Advise the customer that the castings, front surround, firebox and ceramic pieces can
be cleaned as described in the user's instructions and that the loose ceramic fuel effect
pieces must be replace as described in those instructions.
Stress that no extra coals must be added over and above those supplied with the
appliance and that any replacements must only be the authorised spares. Warn
that ignoring this advice could cause incomplete clearance of the products of
combustion with consequent health hazards.
10. Inform the customer that the Serial number for the appliance is located on the
metal plate, located behind the lower front casting and underneath the burner.
11. Hand the literature pack with this guide to the customer.
