removed.

SECTION FIVE

Like all appliances incorporating an aerated burner a Low frequency noise may be heard,

particularly on the Low setting, this is quite normal and does not affect the operation of the

appliance.

It is advised that the fire is serviced annually this is more likely to provide trouble-free

operation.

It is important that: -

• The chimney or flue is checked annually to ensure clearance of combustion products.

• The fire does not normally require purpose-built ventilation but if for any special reason

purpose-built ventilation is provided it should be checked periodically to ensure freedom

from obstruction.

• Any debris from the chimney or flue should be removed. The fire should be allowed to cool

for three to four hours before it is removed.

• Rubbish must not be thrown onto the fuel bed under any circumstances.

• The cast fire front must be positioned in front of the fire whilst it is burning
