GENERAL NOTES
Flue-gas protection
An insufficient air supply or a malfunctioning chimney duct
could reduce the concentration of oxygen in the room to
such an extent that there would not be enough oxygen
left for complete combustion of the gas, resulting in the
formation of carbon monoxide.The air supply must com-
ply with national guidelines.
This appliance is fitted with an ‘oxypilot’ (pilot-light
burner), which also prevents a dangerous concentration of
combustion products forming in the room as a result of
incomplete gas combustion.The installer should allow the
fire to burn for 10 mins. and then check that the flue gases
are discharged properly.
The pilot-light burner cannot be serviced. If it is defective,
you can order a new one via your installer. Only authentic
replacement parts are to be used.The pilot-light burner
must not be adjusted or altered in any way whatsoever.
The installer must not short-circuit the pilot-light system
in any way whatsoever.
Gas Safety Regulations
(for installation & use) 1998 (amended)
In your own interest and that of safety, it is law that all gas
appliances are installed by competent persons in accor-
dance with the above regulations. Failure to install appli-
ances correctly could lead to prosecution.
NB:The Council of Registered Gas Installers, whose
members are identified by the emblem shown
here, are all required to work to the recognised
standards.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Periodic maintenance should be carried out by a registered
installer.The gas-control block must not be greased. Do
not use any caustic or abrasive agents when cleaning the
appliance.The chimney must be inspected regularly to
make sure that all flue gases are discharged through the
chimney. Do not allow excesses of soot to build up in the
chimney. Any soot that has formed in the chimney should
be removed, only when it is cooled down.The ventilation
should be checked regularly to make sure that there is no
obstruction.
Discoloration of walls and ceiling
Brown discoloration is an annoying problem, which is
difficult to solve. It can be caused by dust burning as a
result of poor ventilation, for example, or by cigarette
smoke or candles.
These problems can be avoided by ensuring that the room
the heater is in is properly ventilated.A good guideline for
ventilation is:
New buildings : 3.24 m3/ hour per m2floor
surface of the room.
Existing buildings : 25.20 m3/ hour for a room.
Use candles and oil lamps as little as possible, keeping the
wick as short as possible.While they enhance the
atmosphere, candles and oil lamps also cause the
formation of large quantities of unhealthy soot particles in
your home. Cigarette and cigar smoke contains tar, which
upon heating will precipitate on cold or damp walls. If you
have a newly cemented chimney or have had any other
reconstructions / renovations done, you are advised to
wait at least 6 weeks before lighting your fire, to allow the
walls, floor and ceiling to dry out completely.
Lighting the heater for the first time
There can be an unpleasant smell when you light the
heater for the first time.This is caused by the varnish
evaporating and will disappear after a few hours.We
therefore advise you, on initial use, to heat the appliance at
the highest setting while ventilating the room it is installed
in.
Extra protection
This heater meets the normal safety standards regarding
surface temperatures, but physical contact with heated
surfaces should be avoided where possible.An additional
guard is recommended to protect young children and
elderly, infirmed or handicapped people.
