GENERAL NOTES
Gas Safety Regulations (for installation & use) 1998
In your own interest and that of safety, it is law that all gas
appliances are installed by competent persons in
accordance with the above regulations. Failure to install
appliances correctly could lead to prosecution.
NB:The Council of Registered Gas Installers, whose
members are identified by the emblem shown here,
are all required to work to the recognised
standards.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The appliance should be inspected once a year by a
qualified company, and cleaned and/or repaired as
necessary.The inspection and maintenance must at least
ensure that the appliance is working correctly and safely.
This can be done by your own gasinstaller or a specialised
maintenance company. It is advisable to remove any dust
from the appliance several times before and during the
heating season. After a while a deposit will form on the
inside of the glass pane.This can be removed with a damp
cloth or with a non-abrasive cleaning agent (e.g. brass
polish). Do this as soon as any deposit appears, to prevent
it from burning and becoming impossible to clean. Do not
use corrosive or abrasive substances to clean the casing.
Any damage to the coating, caused by things put on or
against the casing for example, is not covered by the
guarantee.
NB: When replacing the thermocouple, the coupling nut in
the gas control block should first be tightened by hand and
then tightened a quarter-turn with an
open-ended spanner.
Discoloration of walls and ceiling
Brown discoloration is an annoying problem, which is
difficult to solve. It can be caused by dust burning as a
result of poor ventilation, for example, or by cigarette
smoke or candles.
These problems can be avoided by ensuring that the room
the heater is in is properly ventilated. A good guideline for
ventilation is:
: 3.24 m 3 / hour per m 2 floor
New buildings
surface of the room.
: 25.20 m 3 / hour for a room.
Existing buildings
Use candles and oil lamps as little as possible, keeping the
wick as short as possible.While they Enhance the
atmosphere, candles and oil lamps also cause the
formation of large quantities of unhealthy soot particles in
your home. Cigarette and cigar smoke contains tar, which
upon heating will precipitate on cold or damp walls. If you
have a newly cemented chimney or have had any other
reconstructions / renovations done, you are advised to
wait at least 6 weeks before lighting your fire, to allow the
walls, floor and ceiling to dry out completely.
Lighting the heater for the first time
There can be an unpleasant smell when you light the
heater for the first time.This is caused by the varnish
evaporating and will disappear after a few hours.We
therefore advise you, on initial use, to heat the appliance at
the highest setting while ventilating the room it is installed
in well.
Extra protection
This heater meets the normal safety standards regarding
surface temperatures, but physical contact with heated
surfaces should be avoided where possible. An additional
guard is recommended to protect young children and
elderly, infirmed or handicapped people. For safety reasons
a guard should be placed in front of the fire at all times.
Disposal
When replacing or otherwise removing the appliance, it
should be disposed of in compliance with current
regulations.
Shut off the connecting tap with coupling before
commencing disassembly. Undo the coupling between the
connecting tap and the appliance.The whole appliance can
now be disassembled and removed.
Guarantee
The warranty for your DRU appliance will be provided by
your supplier. In case of malfunctions, you should always
contact him.You supplier will contact DRU if he feels this
is necessary.The factory warranty for your appliance is
valid for 2 years after date of purchase.
