1. 1998 Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution It is in your own interest and that of safety to comply with the law The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf provided that the shelf is at least 200mm above the top of the appliance and the depth of the shelf does not exceed 150mm The fire may be installed below combustible shelves which exceed 150mm deep providing that the clearance above the fire is increased by 15mm for each 25mm of additional overhang in excess of 150mm No purpose made additional ventilation is normally required for this appliance when installed in G B When installed I E please consult document I S 813 1996 Domestic Gas Installation which is issued by the National Standards Authority of Ireland Any purpose made ventilation should be checked periodically to ensure that it is free from obstruction If the chimney or flue has been previously used by appliances burning fuels other than gas they must be swept prior to the installation of this fire If this appliance is fitted directly on to a wall without the use of a fireplace or sur round soft wall coverings such as wallpaper blown vinyl etc could be affected by the heat and hot air and may discolour or scorch This should be considered when installing or decorating The Model number of this appliance is as stated on the rating plate affixed to the control panel of the fire and the appliance is manufactured by BFM Europe Ltd2. Trentham Lakes Stoke on Trent ST4 4TJ 33 About your Flavel Windsor The Flavel Windsor range of coal pebble amp driftwood fuel bed gas fires incorporates a unique and highly developed fuel bed which gives the realism of a loose coal or pebble layout combined with realistic flames and glow The use of durable ceramic material in the construction of the fuel bed components ensures long and trouble free operation When first using the new fire a slight smell may be noticed This is due to starch used in the manufacture of the soft ceramic coals or pebbles it is non toxic and will soon disappear Please take the time to fully read these instructions as you will then be able to obtain the most effective and safe operation of your fire IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING This appliance has a naked flame and as with all heating appliances a fire guard should be used for the protection of children the elderly and infirm Fireguards should conform to B S 8423 2002 Fireguards for use with gas heating appliances It is important that this appliance is serviced at least once a year by a CORGI registered gas installer and that during the service the fire is removed from the fire opening and the chimney or flue visually checked for fallen debris or blockages which must be removed The chimney should also be checked to ensure clearance of flue products These are conditions of the manufacturers guarantee After installation or during se
