Ceramic fuel effect.
·
This product uses a ceramic fuel effect containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF),
which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this material may
cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it makes
sense to take care when handling this article to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a
minimum.
·
Although light coatings of soot are usually burnt off during normal use, the ceramic
fuel effect may benefit from occasional cleaning.
·Should any soot accumulation become excessive, the
fuel effect piece should be removed from the fire for
cleaning. Cleaning should be carried out in a well
ventilated area or in the open air by gently brushing
with the pieces held away from your face so that you
avoid inhaling the dust. We do not recommend the use
of a normal domestic vacuum cleaner which may blow
dust back into the air.
·The ceramic fuel effect can be lifted out of the fire
box when the window surround and glass have been
removed as described on page 9.
·When replacing the ceramic fuel effect, make sure
that it rests on the ledges at the sides of the firebox and
that its back face is touching the horizontal rib at the
back of the firebox (See figure 5).
·Replace the window and surround after cleaning.
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance.
In order to achieve and maintain high levels of personal safety and performance
efficiency, it is essential that the opening at the back of the fire and the flue are kept
clear of any form of obstruction. It is possible that deposits of mortar or soot could fall
and accumulate causing the flue to be blocked or restricted and so preventing proper
clearance of dangerous exhaust fumes.
In the United Kingdom it is the law that a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue
and pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every
twelve months by a competent person (In the U.K., a CORGI registered installer).
We recommend that all gas appliances and their flues, wherever situated, are checked
annually.
