INSTALLER GUIDE
17. FINAL REVIEW
1. COMPLETE THE INFORMATION IN THE GAS FIRE COMMISIONING
CHECKLIST AND SERVICE RECORD OF THE OWNER GUIDE (See last pages of
the OWNER guide).
2. Visually inspect the appliance. Clean off any marks incurred during installation.
3. Advise the customer how to operate the appliance. Explain to the customer that the
appliance has a flame failure & spillage monitoring system. Point out the explanation
of this system shown in the owner guide under "Operating the fire". 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.
4. Advise the customer that they should read their owner guide before operating the
fire and always follow the advice in the section headed "Cleaning your fire".
5. Stress that no extra ceramic fuel effect pieces or ember wool 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. If you have not done so already; attach or place the ceramic fuel effect
guide inside this guide.
6. 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 set the control
to its highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed
during previous use.
7. Emphasise that if the glass panel is broken or damaged, the fire should be
turned off and not used until the window unit is refitted with an authorised
replacement. The fire should not be used without the glass panel fitted.
8. Advise the customer that when first turned on from cold, the flames will appear
predominantly blue and it is normal for condensation to form on the rear of the glass
panel. The condensation will disappear after a few minutes use.
9. 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.
10. Recommend that the appliance should be serviced by a competent person
annually.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Inform the customer that the Serial number for the appliance is located on
the information label, located to the side of the burner and also stuck into this
manual
14. Hand the literature packs with this guide to the customer.
