Blakely fascia

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 this appliance (kg) is as below:

Model eat Engine (Without ceramics) Fascia Fascia

Blakely 22.14 6.62 (Fret) 8.54 (Frame)

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.

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.

The conversion of net efficiency to gross was achieved by multiplying the net

efficiency by the following conversion factor from Table E3 of SAP 2005, rounding

down to the nearest whole number.

4.3 NOx

For NG the 'Weighted' result for this appliance equates to NOx Class 5.

For LPG the 'Weighted' result for this appliance equates to NOx Class 4.
