OWNER GUIDE
Do allow a minimum clearance of 95mm from the top of the appliance fascia to the
underside of any shelf whether it is made from combustible or non-combustible
materials. This clearance is necessary to allow the fascia to be lifted off for servicing.
For a shelf made from wood or other combustible materials deeper than 150mm add
12.5mm to the clearance for every 25mm of additional shelf depth (See figure 1).
Please bear this in mind if ever you add a shelf.

Do 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.
Do provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 8423 for the protection of young
children, the elderly, the infirm and 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).
Note: The guard supplied with the fire acts as a fireguard conforming to BS1945:1971
and satisfies the Heating Appliance (Fireguard) (Safety) Regulations 1991.
Do 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).
