As with any gas appliance, this fire must be 5.

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. 6.
In the Republic ofIreland, installation must be in
accordance with all national and local regulations

in force.

Never put any paper or other material on the fire.
Never add any extra coals above the number
stated in these instructions. This could cause a

safety hazard.

It should be appreciated that although this

appliance conforms to all the applicable
standards, it is a decorative fuel effect heating
appliance and certain parts of its surface will
become hot. A suitable guard which complies with
BS 6539 or 6778 should be used for the protection
of young children, the elderly and the infirm. Such

a guard is also recommended for the protection of
pet animals.

Always switch the fire off and allow to cool before

handling. Note that this appliance retains heat for
some time after it has been switched off.
Never hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics
over the fire.
This appliance is fitted with a device which will

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

does operate or if the fire is turned off accidentally

or intentionally, always wait three minutes before
attempting to relight.
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 when having a heating

appliance installed and when redecorating.

If the fire is intended to be installed to a chimney
which was previously used for solid fuel, please

note that the chimney must be swept prior to
installation.

PLEASE NOTE

When operating your fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which may cause a slight odour and could possibly set off any

smoke alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new appliances. They are totally harmless and will
disappear after a few hours use. This fire is supplied with ceramic "coals" to simulate a real coal fire. These items are designed for easy
refitting if removed.

On no account must the fire stand on carpets or
other combustible materials. The fire must stand
behind a non-combustible hearth surface. The 8.

hearth material must be at least 12.5mm thick. Its
top surface should be 50mm above floor level to 9.
discourage placing carpets. Rugs or other
combustible materials over the hearth. The
minimum size of the hearth is shown in figure 1.

The minimum height from the top surface of the
fireplace to the underside of any shelf made from 10.
wood or other combustible material and which is

not more than 150mm deep is 200mm.

For shelves deeper than 150mm add 12.5mm to the

above clearance for every 25mm of additional
shelf depth.
