INSTALLER GUIDE

1. 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 Heat Engine Firefront Ceramics
Combined Weight
Allure 20.24 12.66 3.91 36.81
Eminence 20.24 4.47 3.91 28.62
This appliance is heavy.We therefore recommend that two people should be
sufficient to lift the fire. If fitting or moving the fire 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.

3. APPLIANCE DATA
* When converted using kit 0595271.
The appliance information label is located under the burner on the right hand side of
the fire. This can be seen by removing the fascia.
This product uses fuel effect pieces and burner compartment walls 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 appliance data label is located on the base of the fire underneath the burner
module.
The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS 7977 - 1 and
the result is as below :
Model
Efficiency % (Gross)
762 75.6
762 when converted to LPG. 75.6
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.
