CLEANING
Cleaning the fire should only be carried out
when the fire is turned off and is cold.
Never use inflammable cleaning fluids.
Never clean the stainless steel with abrasive
cleaning materials such as scouring pads, wire
wool, emery cloth etc. as damage will occur.
CLEANING THE STAINLESS STEEL PARTS
For every day cleaning use a damp cloth and
detergent, wipe clean with a clean damp cloth
then a dry cloth.
CLEANING THE BRASS PARTS
The brass frame option is unlacquered and will
tarnish. To clean, remove from the appliance
and use a good quality brass polish, we
recommend olvol Autosol metal cleaner,
available from most car accessory shops, or
Hotspot Multi-use Metal Polish“, available from
your supplier or through our mail order service.
Metal polishes, abrasive cleaners and solvents
can damage painted surfaces.
CLEANING THE BLACK PAINTED SURFACES
To clean wait until the fire is cold and gently
dust any deposit on the surface using a dry soft
paint brush. During use, if a flame is in direct
contact with the painted surface it may cause
the black finish to change to light grey,
repositioning the top ceramic pieces will direct
the flame away from the rear and side panels
and if required the surface can be dusted with a
soft paint brush and re-sprayed with high
temperature paint. A thin layer of paint offers
the best heat resistance.
CLEANING THE CORIAN
®
MANTLE, HEARTH
AND RAISED HEARTH
For every day cleaning use a damp cloth and
detergent, wipe clean with a clean damp cloth
then a dry cloth. When this does not work use
Cif scouring cream.
TO CLEAN / REPLACE THE CERAMICS
Carefully remove all loose ceramic pieces and
brush all pieces with a dry soft paint brush then
reassemble by carefully following the
instructions and diagrams in sections H to L.
IMPORTANT NOTE
This fire is CE approved to the European
tandard EN 509 and is intended for decorative
purposes.
During use the ceramics may vary in colour and
as with all high temperature ceramics, cracks
may appear. This is normal and is due to the
initial shrinkage of the ceramics and will not
effect the fire’s performance.
The fire is fitted with an Oxygen Depletion
ensor (OD ) which continuously monitors the
atmosphere in the room turning off the gas
supply to the fire if combustion products are
detected. If the fire turns itself off, re-light the
fire following the lighting procedure. If the fire
repeatedly turns itself off a qualified service
engineer must be called to check the complete
installation.
PEBBLE VERSION
As pebbles are light coloured, any soot
discoloration may be more visible than on the
other available fuel effects.
A permanent air vent is not normally required
for this fire in the UK, but a permanent 100 cm
2
air vent must still be fitted when used in
outhern Ireland. It is important that if an air
vent has been fitted it is periodically checked to
ensure that the vent remains free from
obstruction at all times.
The chimney must be swept before the
appliance is installed and must be checked
regularly to ensure that all products of
combustion are entering the flue and that there
is no excessive build up of soot or debris,
excessive quantities of soot or debris on the fire
will require removal, refer to “CLEANING“. If a
sooting problem persists seek expert advise.
The fire has a naked flame, a suitable
guard should be fitted to give full
protection to the young, elderly or infirm.
CAUTION
The OD must not be adjusted or put out of
operation and only original manufacturer’s
replacement parts must be used.
WARNING
Never alter the fuel layout or add
extra pieces to the fire.
CAUTION
Never throw rubbish onto the fire.
Never place candles on, in or near the
fire as they are a fire hazard.
