What s your type? Before you select your fire, your local Gazco retailer will need to make sure it's suitable for your home. Firstly, you need to know what fuel you will be using. Secondly, you will need to be aware of what type of chimney you have. Fuels Wood, coal and smokeless fuels Most Gazco traditional fire baskets illustrated in this brochure are suitable for burning solid fuels such as logs and anthracite as well as approved smokeless fuels. Gas Most Gazco fire baskets can be specified for use with either Natural Gas or LPG. Natural Gas is provided through mains pipelines, whilst LPG is usually supplied to homes in rural areas from a tank in the garden or from gas bottles. Electric Many fire baskets are available with Gazco's electric coal effect and fan heater. These will require a 13amp socket located within 1 metre of your fireplace. Chimney or no chimney? To use a fire basket to burn solid fuels or install a gas version, your home will generally require a conventional brick or stone built chimney. These are easily recognisable, as the stack rises well above the roofline and is topped by a traditional chimney pot or, possibly, a gas terminal. 6 Check with your local Gazco dealer that your flue and fire opening are suitable for the fire of your choice.
Gas and Electric options 1. Gas logs All baskets illustrated in this brochure are available with superb living flame gas fires and many can also be specified with Gazco's excellent electric fuel effect fires. The following are the choices from which you can select: Gas fuel effects Fires with gas logs (1), driftwood (2), coals (3) or glass (5) are available for natural gas and LPG but the pebble effect (4) is only available for natural gas. The glass effect is only offered as an option with the Aspen, Chamonix and Tahoe models. Please see page 25 for a full list of features. If you are fitting a gas fire, you can also upgrade to Gazco's Command remote control system on all models except the Swan's Nest. It means that once the pilot has been ignited manually, the handset allows you to vary the flame height and heat output from the comfort of your armchair! 2. Gas driftwood 3. Gas coals 4. Gas pebbles Electric fires Electric fires (6) provide you with the comforts of a warming, flickering glow and a thermostatically controlled fan heater. They can be operated in three modes - glow only, glow + 1kW of heat and glow + 2kW of heat - and, in most cases, the fan heater can be discreetly hidden behind an optional ashpan cover when not in use. 5. Gas glass Custom-built gas fires If you have an existing grate or basket, and would like the extra convenience of a gas fire, then Gazco can provide you with a made-to-measure fire in a choice of log, driftwood, coal and pebble effects. Please see pages 24-25 for details. 6. Electric fire with coal-effect 7
Medium Chamonix with glass-effect gas fire Contemporary fire baskets 8 Chamonix There are two distinctive versions of the Chamonix. The first has a brushed stainless steel top and is available in three sizes. The Medium model in this series has less depth, thus allowing it to fit into a standard British 'constructional fireplace opening'. The second version features a top in grey glass and this model is available in the small and large sizes. All Chamonix models are offered complete with gas fires in a choice of log, driftwood, coal, pebble or glass effects.

Additional information Installation The operation and appearance of gas fires depends on variable factors such as the standard of installation and the performance of the flue. Baskets that are supplied with a Gazco gas fire must be fitted by a qualified gas installer (CORGI registered in the UK), who should also verify the proposed site conditions are fully suitable for the product selected. Complete installation instructions can be obtained prior to purchase by downloading them from www.gazco.com. Controls on gas fire versions All gas fires except Amhurst, Art Deco, Cromwell, Plymouth, Pub Scene, Rochester, Stratford and Swan's Nest are supplied with controls on the right hand side. The Amhurst, Art Deco, Rochester and Stratford have the option of controls at the front. The Chatsworth, Cromwell, Plymouth and Pub Scene have controls at the front only. The Swan's Nest has 'extended controls' only. Colours Owing to variations in studio lighting and printing inks, the finishes/colour of fires illustrated in this brochure may differ slightly from actual models. Before purchasing, please ask your retailer to show you finish/colour samples. Care and maintenance Traditional materials, such as polished steel and brass, tarnish on contact with air, especially when also exposed to heat. To help minimise this effect, we recommend baskets receive regular treatment with Stovax Steel Cleaner and Stovax Brass & Copper Polish. Other surfaces can be maintained from time to time with Stovax Stainless Steel Cleaner and Stovax Traditional Black Grate Polish. Additionally, please remember that gas fires will require servicing annually by a CORGI registered engineer. Product improvement Gazco's policy is one of constant product improvement. Appliances may therefore sometimes differ from the descriptions or illustrations in this brochure. Please note: The operation and appearance of gas appliances can depend on variable factors such as the gas pressure supplied. 26
