18. SERVICING & PARTS REPLACEMENT
- Always turn off the gas supply before commencing any servicing and allow the
fire to cool completely (The appliance inlet ‘T’ connector incorporates an isolating
valve).
- It is recommended that, at least once a year, the appliance is disconnected and
the fireplace opening checked and cleared of any debris.
- This product uses fuel effect pieces, burner compartment walls and ceramic
gravel containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous
silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause irritation to eyes,
skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important to take care when
handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To
ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum,
during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered
vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire before
and after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we recommend that
the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty
polythene bag, clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste is classed as a stable,
non-reactive hazardous waste and may be disposed at a landfill licensed to accept
such waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but
we recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or
drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before eating or drinking.
- Check that the appliance is clean and that soot or debris is not blocking the gaps
between the ceramic fuel effect pieces causing an imperfect flame.
- Check that soot or debris is not impairing the electrode spark or pilot burner.
- Check that soot or debris is not blocking any of the slots in the main burner.
- After servicing, make sure that the ceramic walls are replaced and the ceramic fuel
effect pieces are replaced correctly as described in the installer and owner guide
supplied with the ceramic fuel effect. The ceramic fuel effect guide may have been
placed inside or attached to this guide.
- Always test for gas soundness and spillage after servicing the appliance.
- We recommend that the batteries in the receiver box are changed during
servicing.
