2. SAFETY
Installer
Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read the
following guide to manual handling:
-The lifting weight of the appliance heat engine and hotbox is 4.4 kg. This does
not include fascia or ceramics.
-One person should be sufficient to lift the fire. f for any reason this weight is
considered too heavy then obtain assistance.
-When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.
-Avoid twisting at the waist. t is better to reposition your feet.
-Avoid upper body/top heavy bending. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst
handling the fire.
-Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
-Always keep the fire as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the
cantilever action.
-Use gloves to provide additional grip.
-Always use assistance if required.
-This product uses fuel effect pieces and a burner compartment rear wall
containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous
silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause irritation to
eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important 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. RCF
waste is classed as a stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and may be
disposed at a landfill licensed to accept such 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.
-This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos
or asbestos related products.

3. APPLIANCE DATA AND EFFICIENCY
3.1 General information.
* When converted using Kit 0595221.
The appliance information label is located on a plate at the base of the fire. This can
be seen by removing the firefront.
3.2 Efficiency.
The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS 7977 - 1 and
the result is as below :
odel Efficiency % (Gross) Efficiency % (Net)
956 51 56
956 when converted to LPG 52 56
The gross calorific value of the fuel has been used for this efficiency calculation. The
test data from which it has been calculated has been certified by Advantica
Certification services (0087). The efficiency value may be used in the UK
Government's Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for energy rating of dwellings.
