DO
Have the fire installed by a competent person. In the United Kingdom, installation
must be in accordance with the latest edition of the Gas Safety (installation & use)
Regulations. In the Republic of Ireland, installation must be in accordance with all
national and local regulations in force.
Have the chimney swept prior to installation if it was previously used for solid
fuel.
Have the fire installed in accordance with the installation instructions
Allow a minimum clearance of 90mm from the top of the appliance case to the
underside of any shelf whether it is made from combustible or non-combustible
materials. This clearance is necessary to allow the case to be lifted off for servicing and
also allows sufficient access to operate the control knob. For a shelf made from wood or
other combustible materials deeper than 150mm the minimum clearance must be as
shown in graph 1. Please bear this in mind if ever you add a shelf.
Provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 8423 for the protection of young
children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for the
protection of pet animals. (Although this fire conforms to all the applicable standards, it
is a heating appliance and certain parts of its surface will become hot.)
Note: The guard supplied with the fire acts as a fireguard conforming to BS1945:1971
and satisfies the Heating Appliance (Fireguard) (Safety) Regulations 1991.

DO
Wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or the
flames are extinguished for any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety device that will
automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any reason, the flames go out.)
Get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. 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 whenever you are considering redecorating.
Provide a minimum clearance of 50mm between the outer case sides and any
corner wall having combustible material or other combustible surface which projects
beyond the front of the fire (See figure 1). Please bear this in mind if ever you are
considering altering the room.
DON’T
Hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the fire.
Fill in the space behind the case.
Use the fire without the dress guard being in position.
Attempt to clean or service the fire until it has been switched off and allowed to
cool completely.
Use the fire with damaged radiants.
