7. ARRANGEMENT OF FUEL BED
COMPONENTS
ADVICE ON HANDLING AND DISPOSAL OF FIRE CERAMICS
The fuel effect and side panels in this appliance are made from Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF), a material which is commonly used for this application.
Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we recommend you follow normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before eating or drinking.
To ensure that the release of RCF fibres are kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing a HEPA filtered vacuum is recommended to remove any dust accumulated in and around the appliance before and after working on it. When servicing the appliance it is recommended that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within heavy duty polythene bags and labelled as RCF waste.
RCF waste is classed as stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and may be disposed of at a licensed landfill site.
Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract; wash hands thoroughly after handling the material.
NOTE: CERAMIC PARTS ARE FRAGILE. ONLY USE THE SPECIAL CERAMIC COALS SUPPLIED BY GAZCO - DO NOT USE REAL COALS.
7.1Position the flame baffle on the rear of the tray. See Diagram 3 arrow B.
7.2Position the front coal, make sure it sits flat onto the burner skin. See Diagram 3 arrow C.

8. OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR
The appliance is fitted with an oxygen sensitive pilot system which will act to cut off the gas supply to the fire should the oxygen in the room fall below its normal level. If the fire is turned off by this device, it usually indicates that there is a problem with the flue system, and this should be inspected by a qualified engineer.
Do not attempt to use the fire until an engineer says it is safe to do so.
This device is not a substitute for an independently mounted carbon monoxide detector.
9. THE FLAME FAILURE DEVICE
This is a safety feature incorporated in all GAZCO fires which automatically switches off the gas supply if the pilot light goes out and fails to heat the thermocouple.
10.’RUNNING IN’
The surface coating on the coals used in your GAZCO fire will ‘burn off’ during the first few hours of use, producing a harmless and temporary odour. This will disappear after a short period of use. If the odour persists, ask your installer for advice.
11. SERVICING
This fire must be serviced every 12 months by a qualified Gas Engineer. In all correspondence, always quote the appliance type and serial number, which may be found on the databadge, adjacent to the control knob.
12. VENTILATION
Any purpose provided ventilation should be checked periodically to ensure that it is free from obstruction.
13. INSTALLATION DETAILS
To assist in any future correspondence, your retailer should have completed this commissioning sheet, this records, the essential installation details of the appliance. In all correspondence always quote the model No and serial No.
