✔✔✔✔ Provide the following clearance for combustible projections up to a depth of

178mm (Measured from the rear fixing plane of the fire). A minimum clearance
of 75mm should be maintained at the left and right side of the fire. This is
measured from the extreme side of the case. This will allow easy access to the
control knob and knurled nuts for removal of the outer case. This clearance is
mandatory for temperature requirements.

✔✔✔✔ Provide the following clearances for combustible projections beyond 178mm

(Measured from the rear fixing plane of the fire). A minimum clearance of
100mm should be maintained at the left and right side of the fire. This is
measured from the extreme side of the case. This clearance is mandatory for
temperature requirements.

✔✔✔✔ Provide the following clearances for non-combustible projections. (Measured

from the rear fixing plane of the fire). A minimum clearance of 75mm should be
maintained at the left and right side of the fire. This is measured from the extreme
side of the case. This will allow easy access to the control knob and knurled nuts
for removal of the outer case

✔✔✔✔ Provide a suitable guard that 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

that 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.

DON’T

H Hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the fire.
H Use the fire without the glass window panel in position or with damaged glass.
H Add any additional coals on to the ceramic fuel pieces supplied with the fire.

This could cause a safety hazard.
