GENERAL NOTES

Gas Safety Regulations (for installation & use) 1998
In your own interest and that of safety, it is law that all gas
appliances are installed by competent persons in
accordance with the above regulations. Failure to install
appliances correctly could lead to prosecution.
NB: The Council of Registered Gas Installers, whose
members are identified by the emblem shown here, are all
required to work to the recognised standards.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The appliance should be inspected once a year by a qualified
company, and cleaned and/or repaired as necessary.The
inspection and maintenance must at least ensure that the
appliance is working correctly and safely.This can be done
by your own gasinstaller or a specialised maintenance
company. It is advisable to remove any dust from the
appliance several times before and during the heating
season. After a while a deposit will form on the inside of
the glass pane.This can be removed with a damp cloth or
with a non-abrasive cleaning agent (e.g. brass polish). Do
this as soon as any deposit appears, to prevent it from
burning and becoming impossible to clean. Do not use
corrosive or abrasive substances to clean the casing. Any
damage to the coating, caused by things put on or against
the casing for example, is not covered by the guarantee.
NB: When replacing the thermocouple, the coupling nut
in the gas control block should first be tightened by hand
and then tightened a quarter-turn with an
open-ended spanner.

Discoloration of walls and ceiling

Brown discoloration is an annoying problem, which is
difficult to solve. It can be caused by dust burning as a
result of poor ventilation, for example, or by cigarette
smoke or candles.
These problems can be avoided by ensuring that the room
the heater is in is properly ventilated. A good guideline for
ventilation is:
New buildings : 3.24 m
surface of the room.
Existing buildings : 25.20 m
Use candles and oil lamps as little as possible, keeping the
wick as short as possible.While they Enhance the
atmosphere, candles and oil lamps also cause the
formation of large quantities of unhealthy soot particles in
your home. Cigarette and cigar smoke contains tar, which
upon heating will precipitate on cold or damp walls. If you
have a newly cemented chimney or have had any other
reconstructions / renovations done, you are advised to
wait at least 6 weeks before lighting your fire, to allow the
walls, floor and ceiling to dry out completely.
3 / hour per m 2 floor
3 / hour for a room.

Lighting the heater for the first time

There can be an unpleasant smell when you light the heater
for the first time.This is caused by the varnish evaporating
and will disappear after a few hours.We therefore advise
you, on initial use, to heat the appliance at the highest
setting while ventilating the room it is installed in well.

Extra protection

This heater meets the normal safety standards regarding
surface temperatures, but physical contact with heated
surfaces should be avoided where possible. An additional
guard is recommended to protect young children and
elderly, infirmed or handicapped people. For safety reasons
a guard should be placed in front of the fire at all times.
