USER SECTION
11.1 SHELF HEIGHT AND SIDE CLEARANCES
The fire may be fitted beneath a shelf.
COMBUSTIBLE SHELF
A shelf may be fitted above the heater provided that it complies with
the dimensions shown in the diagram.
No combustible shelf may be fitted below the minimum of 150mm.
The minimum clearance to combustible sides must comply with the
dimensions in the diagram.
A minimum clearance to adjacent combustible walls, of 500mm,
is required from the side of the fire.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE SHELF
The underside of a non-combustible shelf not more than 75mm deep
must be at least 25mm above the top of the fire. This clearance is
necessary for outer case removal. For deeper shelves, allow 13mm in
shelf height for every 25mm increase in depth.
SIDE CLEARANCES:
A clearance of at least 25mm must be left on either side of the fire to
facilitate removal of the outer case during servicing.

11.0 USER INFORMATION
This fire must be installed and serviced regularly in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations and the
rules in force by a competent person e.g. a Gas Safe registered Engineer. Where solid fuel has been used the chimney must
be swept before installation. This fire must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions.
It is recommended that at least once a year the appliance should be removed to check the catchment space and the chimney
for debris. The fire should be checked annually to ensure continued clearance of combustion products and that there is no
excessive build up of soot.
WARNING: This fire has a naked flame. Also certain parts, especially the canopy, will be hot when in use. A fireguard
conforming to B.S. 8423 (Fireguards for heating appliances for domestic use) should be used for the protection of children, the
elderly or the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for pet animals.
After the fire has been installed you may wish to fix a shelf of combustible material above. This is quite acceptable provided the
dimensions comply with the diagram shown below. The specification of materials used in ‘Surrounds’, other than marble and
wood, must be checked to confirm satisfactory performance.
Clothes etc. must not be draped over or near the fire.
When the fire is first used it may give off some slight smoke and smell but these will soon clear after a few hours of use at the
HIGH setting, preferably with windows open.
Do not burn paper or any rubbish in the fire.
IMPORTANT: When considering fitting any heating appliance or wallpapering a room in which one is fitted, if
blown vinyl or other heat sensitive wallpapers are used in the vicinity of the heat source, then they may become heat
damaged or discoloured especially just above the fire.
It is important for safe operation and to maintain efficiency that the fire is not operated with damaged or broken coals.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Under no circumstances should extra coals be used together with the existing coals.
ONLY THE CORRECT COALS SHOULD BE USED.
If purpose built ventilation is provided for the fire, it should be checked periodically to ensure that it is free from obstruction.
If you notice that the appliance has a floppy yellow pilot flame and/or there is difficulty in lighting the appliance then the lint filter
may need cleaning. Cleaning should be carried out by vacuuming the dust and lint from the filter. If vacuuming alone is not
successful in curing the ignition problem then a Gas Safe registered Engineer must be called to investigate the problem.
Access to the lint filter requires removal of the trim, as detailed in section 13.3 on page 20.
