DO
• Have the fire 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.
• Have the chimney swept prior to installation if it was previously used for solid fuel.
• Have the fire installed in accordance with the installation instructions
• Provide a
minimum
clearance as
shown in graph
1 above the top
of the outer
case to any
shelf made of
wood or other
combustible
material.
• Provide a
suitable guard
which
complies with
BS 6539 or
6778 for the protection of young children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is
also recommended for the protection of pet animals. (Although this fire conforms to all
the applicable standards, it is a heating appliance and certain parts of its surface will
become hot.)
The glass panel & apron together act as a fireguard conforming to BS1945:1971 and
satisfy the Heating Appliance (Fireguard) (Safety) Regulations 1991.
• Wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or the flames
are extinguished for any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety device that will
automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any reason, the flames go out.)
• Get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft wall coverings
(e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern, are easily affected by heat.
They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating appliance.
Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.
• Provide a minimum side clearance as detailed in figure 1. Please bear this in mind if
ever you are considering altering the room.
