Like all appliances incorporating an aerated burner a Low frequency noise may be heard,
particularly on the Low setting, this is quite normal and does not affect the operation of the
appliance.
It is advised that the fire is serviced annually this is more likely to provide trouble-free
operation.
It is important that: -
• The chimney or flue is checked annually to ensure clearance of combustion products.
• The fire does not normally require purpose-built ventilation but if for any special reason
purpose-built ventilation is provided it should be checked periodically to ensure freedom
from obstruction.
• Any debris from the chimney or flue should be removed.The fire should be allowed to cool
for three to four hours before it is removed.
• Rubbish must not be thrown onto the fuel bed under any circumstances.
• The cast fire front must be positioned in front of the fire whilst it is burning
