2. APPLIANCE DATA
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.
* 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 lower hanging trim / firefront casting.

The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS 7977 - 1 and
the result is as below :
Model
Efficiency % (Gross)
954 51
954 when converted to LPG. 54
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.
