Safety - Valor 474 Valentia Installation And Owner's Manual

The fire can be wall or hearth mounted on a non-combustible wall or hearth, and can
be fitted into a suitable fire surround. It can be installed from the inside of a building
making it ideal for rooms where access from the outside is difficult, for example multi-
storey buildings.
Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read the
following guide to manual handling:
One person should be sufficient to lift the fire. If 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. It 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 gaskets 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 licenced to accept such
waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we
recommend the use of suitable gloves to prevent irritation. We also 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.
