To Clean the Fuel Bed or Rear Ceramic Wall
Ceramic Coals and Rear Wall
•This product uses a rear wall and gaskets containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF),
which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may
cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it makes
sense 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. 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.
•Light coatings of soot will usually be burnt off during the normal operation of the fire.
•Should any soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect pieces and rear wall
should be removed from the fire for cleaning.
•Cleaning should be carried out in a well-ventilated area or in the open air by gently
brushing with the pieces held away from your face so that you avoid inhaling the dust.
This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or asbestos
related products.
If, for any reason the fuel bed or rear wall require cleaning proceed as follows:-
•Remove the front case and window as described above.
•Carefully lift the fuel bed out of the firebox and place it on a piece of cardboard or
similar.
•If necessary remove the rear ceramic wall from the bottom channel by pushing the
bottom edge of the wall upwards and very slightly pulling the top forward.
•Carefully vacuum the upper and lower surfaces of the fuel bed (and wall if necessary)
using a soft brush attachment.
