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.

8. OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR

The appliance is fitted with an oxygen sensitive pilot system 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.

1.1 Close all windows and doors to the room, check all controls, and allow fire to burn on maximum for 5 minutes. Test for spillage of flue products using a smoke match. For standard VFC fires, pass the lighted smoke match along the top front edge just inside the opening or canopy. For the RD VFC only, hold the lighted smoke match centrally inside the flue opening. See diagram 1 for Radiant fires and 2 for Convector fires.

1.2 If the fire spills, run for a further 10 minutes and re-check. If there is still spillage, disconnect the fire and seek expert advice.

1.3 If there are extractor fans in the room or adjacent rooms, the spillage test must be repeated with the extractors running on maximum.

1.4 For RD VFC: If spillage is detected and no air vent is fitted in the room, re-check for spillage with a window slightly open. If this cures the spillage, it will be necessary to fit a vent.

IF SPILLAGE PERSISTS, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE AND SEEK EXPERT ADVICE.

For future reference record the installation details on the commissioning sheet on page 4 of these instructions.

This appliance must be serviced at least one a year by a competent person.

1. SERVICING REQUIREMENTS

1.1 As part of the annual service, the space behind the convector must be inspected for any debris, which may have fallen down the chimney.

1.2 Remove the gas fire from the convector as detailed in section 4

1.3 Remove the convector box from the wall, see section 5 in Installation.

1.3 Inspect the space behind the convector for debris and the condition of the chimney, the flue flow test should be carried out now. Remove any debris and carry out any necessary remedial work.

This is for use only by qualified Installers and Service Engineers.

Note: Many problems can be attributed to poor pilot flame length caused by blocked jets as the orifice is very small. If the flame length is much shorter than that shown in the diagram, the pilot may have to be changed. See diagram 7.

It is always worth using the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner over the end of the pilot to ensure that it has no debris within it. In addition, many ignition problems are caused by incorrect spark gap, ensure it is set as in diagram 7.
