Unit installation

Do provide the following clearance for combustible projections up to a depth of

178mm (Measured from the rear fixing plane of the fire). A minimum clearance of

75mm should be maintained at the left and right side of the fire. This is measured

from the extreme side of the fascia. This will allow easy access to the control knob

and knurled nuts for removal of the fascia. This clearance is mandatory for

temperature requirements.

Do provide the following clearances for combustible projections beyond 178mm

(Measured from the rear fixing plane of the fire). A minimum clearance of 100mm

should be maintained at the left and right side of the fire. This is measured from the

extreme side of the fascia. This clearance is mandatory for temperature requirements.

Do provide the following clearances for non-combustible projections (Measured from

the rear fixing plane of the fire). A minimum clearance of 75mm should be maintained

at the left and right side of the fire. This is measured from the extreme side of the

fascia. This will allow easy access to the control knob and knurled nuts for removal of

the fascia.

Do provide a suitable guard which complies with BS 8423 for the protection of young

children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for the

protection of 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.

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 keep the flue terminal on the outside wall free from all obstructions and

blockages.

Don’t hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the fire.

Don’t use the fire without the glass window panel in position or with damaged glass.

Don’t add any additional ceramic fuel effect pieces on to the ceramic fuel pieces

supplied with the fire. This could cause a safety hazard.

Don’t use the fire without the ceramic fuel effect and rear wall correctly in position or

if they are damaged.

Don’t attempt to put paper or any other material on the fire.

Don’t place any carpet, rug or other soft surface material under or within 300mm

forward of the appliance over its full width side-to-side. (Although this fire does not

have to be on a non-combustible hearth, such soft materials could interfere with the

air flow into and through the bottom of the fire).

Don’t attempt to clean or service the fire until it has been switched off and allowed to

cool completely.

Don’t attempt to clean the bright metal interior of the firebox with metal polish or other

abrasives. After a little time the firebox will colour. This is quite normal.
