MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING - GENERAL
IMPORTANT. The fire should be removed from the surround to check and clear the area behind the fire for build up of debris on every service visit. Remove the outer decorative panels and glass front as detailed previously and place in a safe position.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR GAS SOUNDNESS AFTER EVERY SERVICE AND/OR PART EXCHANGE
REMOVAL OF DEBRIS or SOOT DEPOSIT
A.Allow the appliance to cool for two or three hours before removing all of the coals and ceramic components for cleaning purposes. Once all the ceramics are removed from the firebed check that no debris is located in the burner slots (ports). If any debris is present it may easily be removed by using a small piece of thin cardboard to ease out any foreign matter. Be sure to remove the cardboard after use. Any sooty deposits or debris formed on the coals may be removed by using a soft brush. 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 heavy duty polythene bags, clearly labelled as RCF waste. This is not classified as "hazardous waste" and may be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the disposal of industrial 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. Any sooty deposit on the thermocouple probe can be cleaned of using a
