Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read the
following guide to manual handling.
The lifting weight of this appliance (kg) is as below:
-
Model Heat Engine (Without ceramics)
Blakely
This fire and the fascia are both heavy. We therefore recommend that two people
should be sufficient to lift the fire or the fascia. If fitting or moving alone we
recommend the use of suitable lifting apparatus.
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, burner compartment walls and ceramic
gravel 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.
