1. As with any gas appliance, this fire must be installed
by a competent person in accordance with the Gas
Safety (installation & use) regulations 1994 as
amended.

2. 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.

3. On no account must the fire stand on carpets or
other combustible materials. The fire must stand
behind a non-combustible hearth surface at least
880 mm wide and 300mm from front to back. The
hearth mater ial mu st be at l east 12 .5mm th ick . The
top surface should be 50mm above floor level to
discourage placing carpets, rugs or other
combustible materials over it.

4. The minimum clearance from the top surface of
the fire to the underside of any shelf m ade from
wood or othe r c ombustib l e m aterials is as f ol l ow s :-

• For a shelf up to 150mm deep

Minimum height = 203mm

• For a shelf de e pe r than 150mm

203mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth
over 150mm.

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. Th ey are totally
harmless and will disappear after a few hours use.

5. It should be appreciated that although this
appliance conforms to all the applicable standards,
it is a 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 infir m. Such a guard is also reco mmended for
the prot e c t i on of pet a n i m als.

6. Always switch the fire off and allow to cool before
cleaning or carrying out any maintenance.

7. Never hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics
over the fire.

8. This fire is fitted with a device which will
automatically shut off the supply of gas to the fire
if, for any reason, the pilot goes out. If this d evice
does operate or if the fire is tu rned off accidentally
or intentionally, always wait three minutes before
attempting to relight.

9. 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.

Please note

It is quite common for the radiants to take on a brown tint
after a period of use. This is normal with all types of ceramic
radiant and has no adverse effect whatsoever on the
performance or safe ty of th e appliance.
