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.

Instructions for Use
This fire front may be fitted to a Glow-worm back boiler WITHOUT
a flue blockage safety device. Please refer to the supplementary
instructions at the end of the Instructions for Use, especially
“Lighting the Boiler”.
The instructions consist of two parts, Installation and Servicing
Instructions for the Back Boiler Unit, Use, Installation and
Servicing Instructions for the Fire Front, which includes the
Guarantee Registration Card. The instructions form an integral
part of the appliance and must, to comply with the current issue
of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, be handed
to the user on completion of the installation.
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
This appliance is for use only on G20 gas.
This Glow-worm fire front is to be used with a specially designed
Glow-worm Back Boiler Unit 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”.
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”.
Maintenance
To ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of the
appliance it is recommended that it is checked and serviced at
regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will depend upon
the particular installation and usage, but in general once a year
should be enough.
If this appliance is installed in rented property there is a duty of
care imposed on the owner of the property by the current issue
of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, Section
35.
It is the Law that servicing is carried out by a competent person.
To obtain service, please call your installer or Heatcall (Glow-
worm’s own service organisation) using the telephone number
given on the fire plinth.
Please be advised that the ‘Benchmark’ logbook should be
completed by the installation engineer on completion of
commissioning and servicing.
