INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLER AND SERVICE ENGINEER.
Under Section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, we are required to provide information on substances hazardous to health.
The Adhesives and sealants used in this appliance are cured and give no known hazard in this state.
FUELBEDS, ARTIFICIAL FUEL
This product uses fuel effect Pieces 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.
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 heavy duty
polythene bags, clearly labelled as RCF waste. This is not classified as “hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping site
licensed for the disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we 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.
INSULATION and SEALS
Ceramic fibre and glass fibre used in insulation panels rope and gaskets.
These can cause irritation to skin, eyes and the respiratory tract.
If you have a history of skin complaint you may be susceptible to irritation. High dust levels are usual only if the material is broken.
Normal handling should not cause discomfort, but follow normal good hygiene and wash your hands before eating, drinking or going
to the lavatory.
If you do suffer irritation to the eyes or severe irritation to the skin seek medical attention.

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use)
Regulations
In your interests and that of safety it is the Law that ALL gas
appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance
with the current issue of the above regulations.
General
These notes should be read and carefully followed for the safe
and economical use of your back boiler and fire front.
Important Notice
If this fire is fitted to a Glow-worm Back Boiler WITHOUT a flue
blockage safety device refer to the Supplementary Installations
in the Instructions for Use.
This appliance is for use only on G20 gas.
The Glow-worm Black Ash 3 BBU gas fire front is to be used
with specially designed Glow-worm 56/3e, 56/3pp, 45/2, 56/2,
45, 56, 45R or 56R Back Boiler Units only.
The fire front and back boiler must be fitted as a complete
appliance.
This is a combined central heating back boiler and gas fire
front. The back boiler and fire front can be operated either
together or independently.
In the event of a power or ignition system failure the fire front can
still be used on its own, instructions on how to do this are given
under “Lighting the Fire Front with a Match or Spill”.
Diagram 1
A slight smell may occur, for a short time, after initial lighting, this
is quite normal and will quickly disappear.
With a little use the interior of the fire front will discolour and
acquire the appearance of a solid fuel fire.
Combustible furniture must not be placed closer than 1metre in
front of the fire front.
Clothing or other flammable materials must not be placed on the
fire front casing.
The convection air openings at the top of the fire front and air
inlet grilles at the sides and base must never be obstructed.
Important: Soft wall coverings, for example, blown vinyl
wallpaper, are easily affected by heat, they may therefore,
scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating appliance.
This should be borne in mind when having a heating appliance
fitted and when redecorating.
The glass panel on this fire front conforms to the requirements
of the current issue of BS1945 and satisfies the Heating
Appliance (Fireguard) Regulations.
The fire front must not be used if this panel is broken or missing.
WARNING. The glass panel gets very hot when the fire front is
on and MUST NOT be touched.
The glass panel does not provide full protection for the young,
elderly or infirm. In such cases extra security must be provided
by fitting a fireguard which complies with the current issue of
BS6539 “Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances” or the
current issue of BS6778 “Fireguards for use with portable, free
standing or wall mounted heating appliances”.

Clearances
A shelf or surround of a maximum depth of 150mm may be
fitted, provided clearances are as diagram 1, however, for every
extra 25mm above the fire front the depth of the shelf may be
increased by 25mm.
On no account may carpet or other combustible material be laid
directly under the fire front, unless the minimum clearances
shown in diagram 2 is achieved.
The dimension is taken from the bottom of the fire front casting
to the top of the carpet pile or other floor covering.
Frost
CAUTION. If the back boiler is to be out of use for any long
period of time during severe weather conditions we recommend
that the whole of the system, including the back boiler be
drained off to avoid the risk of freezing up.
If an immersion heater is fitted in the domestic hot water cylinder
make sure that it is switched off.
If in doubt your installation/servicing company or the local gas
undertaking should be contacted

5.1 Lighting and Testing
Make sure that the electrical supply to the back boiler is isolated.
This fire front is fitted with a flue blockage safety device which
will shut down the fire if there is an unacceptable spillage of
products at the draught diverter. If the fire front shuts down
frequently for no apparent reason the first things to be checked
are the chimney and air inlets into the room. An additional cause
could be that the filter, in the gas tap, has become blocked. Any
problems found must be put right by a competent person before
the fire front is used again.
The flue blockage safety device MUST NOT be adjusted or
disconnected. If replacing use only the correct and approved
parts.

economical use of the fire front and back boiler.
Advise the customer that they should read their Users
instructions before operating the fire and always follow the
advice in the Section headed “Cleaning your Fire”.
Advise that any smell which may be apparent on initial lighting
is quite normal and it will quickly disappear.
Important: Advise that soft wall coverings, for example, blown
vinyl wallpaper, are easily affected by heat, they may, therefore,
scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating appliance.
This should be borne in mind when having a heating appliance
installed and when redecorating.
Advise the user, to ensure the continued efficient and safe
operation of the appliance it is recommended that it is checked
and serviced as necessary at regular intervals. The frequency
of servicing will depend upon the particular installation and
usage, but in general once a year should be enough.
Draw attention, if applicable, to the current issue of the Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, Section 35, which
imposes a duty of care on all persons who let out any property
containing a gas appliance.
It is the Law that servicing is carried out by a competent person.
Show how to light the fire front, in the event of a power or ignition
system failure, with a spill or long match.
Remove the front casting.
