Servicing & Parts Replacement - Baxi Fires Division 740FS Installer's Manual

17. SERVICING & PARTS REPLACEMENT
Always turn off the gas supply before commencing any servicing (The
!
appliance inlet 'T' connector 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 burner compartment walls 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 licenced to accept such waste. Protective clothing is
not required when handling these articles, but we recommend the use of suitable
gloves to prevent irritation. We also 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.
!
After servicing, make sure that the ceramic walls are replaced as described in this
!
guide and the ceramic fuel effect pieces are replaced correctly as described in the
installer and owner guide supplied with the ceramic fuel effect. The ceramic fuel
effect guide may have been placed inside or attached to this guide.
Always test for gas soundness and spillage after servicing the appliance.
