INSTALLATION INFORMATION CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION It is the law that all gas appliances are installed only by a competent (e.g. GAS SAFE Registered) Installer, in accordance with the installation instructions and the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.

ABOUT YOUR NEW KALAHARI The Kinder Kalahari coal effect gas fire incorporates a unique and highly developed fuel bed which gives the realism of a loose coal layout combined with realistic flames and glow. The use of durable ceramic material in the construction of the fuelbed components ensures long and trouble free operation.
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.
WARNING If the fire goes out for any reason or is turned off and it is necessary to re-light the fire it is important to allow the fire to cool for 3 minutes before attempting to re-light it. OPERATING THE FIRE (SLIDE CONTROL MODELS) The controls comprise a control lever, to turn the fire on and off and adjust the gas rate, and a flame adjuster to alter the flame picture.
allowed to warm up for a few minutes with the flame adjuster set to the left hand position and the control lever set to high. The gas control can be moved from the High to Low position to give the desired heat output and the flame control adjusted to give the most pleasing flame effect or maximum glow.
If a Kinder Fires fender was supplied with the fire, it is laquered to protect the finish and therefore must only be cleaned using a clean damp cloth. Abrasive cleaners, chemical cleaning agents or any type of polish must never be used as damage to the finish may result.
RE-ASSEMBLING THE FUEL BED NOTE : The position of the fuel-bed components are critical to the performance of the product. Therefore please ensure that the fuel-bed components are positioned as described in the following section prior to requesting a service call due to soot build up, poor flame pattern etc. Place the ribbed ceramic fuelbed base on top of the fuelbed support and pull fully forwards to the burner.
