infirm. Fireguards should conform to B.S. 8423 : 2002 (Fireguards for use
with gas heating appliances). It is important that this appliance is serviced at
least once a year by a GAS SAFE registered engineer. During the annual service,
replacement of the pilot must be carried out. This is a condition of the
manufacturers guarantee. Any debris or deposits should be removed from the
fuel bed from time to time. This may be carried out by referring to the cleaning
section as described later in this book. Only the correct number and type of logs
must be used and only complete and genuine replacement sets must be used.
Always keep furniture and combustible materials well clear of the fire and never
dry clothing or items either on or near to the fire. Never use aerosols or flamma-
ble cleaning products near to the fire when it is in use. The ceramic fuel bed
remains hot for a considerable period after use and sufficient time should be
allowed for the fire to cool before cleaning etc.
