DO

✔✔✔✔ Have the fire installed by a competent person. In the United Kingdom, installation

must be in accordance with the latest edition of the Gas Safety (installation & use)
Regulations. In the Republic of Ireland, installation must be in accordance with all
national and local regulations in force.

✔✔✔✔ Have the fire installed in accordance with the installation instructions
✔✔✔✔ Provide a minimum clearance of 780mm from the top surface of the hearth to any

shelf made of wood or other combustible material where the shelf is not more than
150mm deep. For a shelf deeper than 150mm, add 12.5mm to the clearance for every
25mm of additional shelf depth.

✔✔✔✔ Provide a minimum clearance of 51mm each side of the fire for servicing access.
✔✔✔✔ Provide a suitable guard which complies with BS 6539 or 6778 for the protection of

young children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for the
protection of pet animals. Although this fire conforms to all the applicable standards,

it is a heating appliance and certain parts of its surface will become hot.

✔✔✔✔ Wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or the flames

are extinguished for any reason. Your fire is fitted with a safety device which will

automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any reason, the flames go out.

✔✔✔✔ Get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft wall

coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern, are easily affected
by heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating
appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.

✔✔✔✔ Keep the flue terminal on the outside wall free from all obstructions and blockages.
