SAFETY
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.
Do have the chimney swept prior to installation if it was previously used for solid fuel.
Do have the fire installed in accordance with the installer guide.
Do provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 8423 for the protection of young
children, the elderly, the infirm and 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).
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 provide a minimum side clearance as detailed in the following section “Appliance
dimensions and clearances”. Please bear this in mind if ever you are considering
altering the room.
Do provide a minimum clearance as shown in figure 1 (Adorn) or figure 2 (Visage,
Dream, Eternal, Decadent, Obsession and Icon) above the base of the fireplace
opening to any shelf made of wood or other combustible material. Please bear this in
mind if you are making any alterations to the room.
