The instructions shall clearly state the method of cleaning;
- any necessary instructions in respect of the operation of the tap;
- a recommendation that a guard be used for the protection of young children, the elderly or infirm;
- where the distribution medium is of a granular material, the precise method of filling the burner tray, e.g. the method of levelling the medium and precautions to be taken with regard to compressing the medium;
- where the design of the appliance makes cleaning by a vacuum cleaner acceptable this should be stated, in other cases the use of a vacuum cleaner should be deprecated;
- the quantity of material and layout of the fuel bed;
- a list of user replaceable parts;
- a statement that this appliance is intended for decorative purposes;
- a statement that the user is warned not to throw rubbish on or otherwise to disturb the fuel bed.
