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.

USER INSTRUCTIONS

4.1 Place the flame baffle onto the burner and push against the rear tray lip. See diagram 6

4.2 Locate the rear panel against the spacer brackets and slide down so that it locates on the ledge of the flame baffle. See diagram 7

4.3 Locate the front coal between the heat shield and the flame baffle so its ends sit flat on the burner skin. See diagram 8

4.4 Place five of the loose round coals on the front coal so they lean against the flame baffle, in between the fingers. Place the two rectangular coals against the reflector panels, one either side, behind the front row of loose coals. See diagram 9

4.5 Place four of the loose round coals behind the first row so that they sit on the fingers, the two outer ones should touch the rectangular coals. See diagram 10

4.6 Place the three remaining coals behind the centre row so that they touch the back panel. See diagram 11

5.1 The stove is fitted with the Gazco Flue Sure System, which will act to cut off the gas supply to the burners in the event of incorrect operation of the flue. If the system acts to cut off the gas supply, this indicates that there is insufficient flue pull. If this occurs a minimum of 10 minutes should be allowed before trying to relight. Continued operation of this safety device means there may be a serious problem with the flue system. A qualified gas engineer should inspect this.

Do not use the stove until an engineer says it is safe to do so.
