Baxi Potterton 339 Fire Pit User Manual


 
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).
Do 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.
Do allow a minimum clearance of 150mm from the top of the appliance fascia to the
underside of any shelf made from non-combustible materials. This clearance is
necessary to allow the fascia to be lifted off for servicing. For a shelf made from wood
or other combustible materials the minimum clearance from the top of the appliance
fascia to the underside of the shelf is 150mm, for combustible shelves deeper than
150mm add 12.5mm to the clearance for every 25mm of additional shelf depth (See
graph 1). Please bear this in mind if ever you add a shelf.
Do provide a minimum clearance of 100mm between the fascia 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.
Don’t fill in the space behind the fascia.
Don’t use the fire with a damaged ceramic fuel effect or with the ceramic fuel effect
incorrectly positioned.
Don’t use the fire if the glass window is damaged.
