User manual

Additional purpose built ventilation is not required far this appliance in GB only, for IE ventilation is required
with a minimal cross sectional area of 100sq.cms. and it should be checked regularly to ensure that it is free
from obstruction. The chimney or flue must be swept before installation (unless new). It should be checked
annually for spillage (smoke test) when the appliance is serviced and that there is no excessive build up of soot
The appliance has a naked flame, a fireguard to British Standard BS6539 or BS6778 should be used for the
protection of young children, the elderly and the infirm. Combustible materials should not be put on or left in
the hearth, nor should the coal bed be used to burn rubbish or other materials.
This product uses fuel effect pieces, gaskets and insulation material containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre
(RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause
temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract, consequently, it makes sense to take care when
handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
The curing effect of heating the coals will cause an initial odour, which although not harmful, may require
additional ventilation until the odour has disappeared.
This appliance will run on ‘Full’ for approx. 4.5 hours on one therm of gas. Combustible materials such as
furniture and fabrics must be kept a safe distance from the fire; any shelving, curtains or mantles must be a
minimum height of 228mm from the top of the fire and 150mm to either side of the fire.
Cleaning
Any soot that is formed during operation should be removed. The appliance should be allowed to cool
completely before removing soot. Cleaning should be carried out in a well-ventilated area or in the open air,
by gently brushing with the pieces held away from your face so that you avoid inhaling the dust. We do not
recommend the use of a normal domestic vacuum cleaner, which may blow dust back into the air.
The front of the appliance should be cleaned with a soft hand brush or soft cloth. The front and fret can be
cleaned with a hand brush or washed with soapy water.
If the appliance is fitted to a BE MODERN HARMONY fire surround and hearth the mantle and hearth
should only be cleaned with a soft dry cloth. Under no circumstances should a cleaning agent or abrasive be
used.
NOTE: Should any 'coals' or the coal bed became damaged, lost or broken, replacements must be obtained
before the appliance is used. Use only the coals supplied with the appliance or replacements supplied by the
manufacturer
