ABOUT

YOUR

NEW

DAKOTA

FIRE.

The

Kinder

Dakota

decorative

fuel

effect

vented

gas

fire

incorporates

a

unique

and

highly

developed

fuel

bed

which

gives

the

realism

of

a

loose

coal

layout

combined

with

realistic

flames

and

glow.

The

use

of

durable

hard

ceramic

material

in

the

construction

of

the

fuelbed

components

ensures

long

and

trouble

free

operation.

When

first

using

the

new

fire

a

slight

smell

may

be

noticed.

This

isdue

to

small

deposits

of

oil

on

the

firebox,

but

will

soon

disappear.

Any

odour

can

be

quickly

reduced

by

operating

the

fire

on

full

for

a

few

hours

to

allow

the

heat

to

fully

penetrate

all

components.

Please

take

the

time

to

fully

read

these

instructions

as

you

will then

be

able

to

obtain

the

most

effective

and

safe

operation

of

your

fire.

should

include

visually

checking

the

appliance,

flue

terminal

and

fireplace

for

accumulation

of

debris

around

the

firebox.

The

condition

of

the

coals

should

be

checked

and

if

necessary

the

whole

should

be

replaced

with

a

genuine

replacement

set.

CLEANING

THE

OPTIONAL

BRASS

AND

PAINTED

METAL

PARTS

The

optional

brass

trim

fitted

to

this

fire

is

real

brass

and

will

therefore

discolourwith

use.

However,

the

use

of

real

brass

means

that

this

paFt

may

be

regularly

cleaned

using

a

suitable

proprietary metal

polish

and

will

then

retain

it's

looks

for

the

life

of

the

fire.

The

ash

pan

and

fret

(if

suppliedwith

the

fire)

are

also

solid

brass

and

may

be

cleaned

in

the

same

way.

If

you

purchased

an

a!ternative

ashpan

and

fret from

your

supplier

it

is

important

to

find

out

whether

jt

is

lacquered

before

cleaning

it.

In

this

case,

your

supplier

will

be

able

to

advise you

on

the

best

cleaning

method.

The

optional brass trim is

best

cleaned

by

removing

it

from

the

fire

and

placing

it

face

up

on

a

flat

surface.

The

trim

is

easily

replaced

by

repositioning

it

on

the

fire

and

pushing

it

back

onto

the

magnets.

After

using

any

metal

polish

or

cleaners

the

fire

should

not

be

used

for

15

minutes

or

so

to

allow

any

cleaning

solvents

Zo

evaporate.

Black

painted

metal

parts

should

be

gently

cleaned

with

a

damp

cloth.

Abrasive

cleaners,

chemical

cleaning

of

polish

must

never

be

used

as

damage

to

the

paint

may

result.
