16. SERVICING AND PARTS REPLACEMENT

Always turn off the gas supply and allow to cool completely before
-
commencing any servicing (The appliance inlet "T" connector / elbow
incorporates an isolating valve).
It is recommended that, at least once a year, the appliance is disconnected
-
and the fireplace opening checked and cleared of any debris.
This product uses fuel effect pieces and a burner compartment rear wall
-
containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous
silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials 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. To ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is
kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing we recommend that you
use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in
and around the fire before and after working on the fire. When replacing
these articles we recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but
are sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as RCF waste.
RCF waste is classed as a stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and may be
disposed at a landfill licensed to accept such waste. Protective clothing is
not required when handling these articles, but we recommend you follow the
normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area
and always wash your hands before eating or drinking.
This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from
-
asbestos or asbestos related products.
Check that the appliance is clean and that soot or debris is not blocking the
-
gaps between the ceramic fuel effect pieces causing an imperfect flame.
Check that soot or debris is not impairing the electrode spark or pilot burner.
-
Check that soot or debris is not blocking any of the slots in the main burner.
