2. SAFETY AND UNPACKING
Installer
Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read the
following guide to manual handling.
The approximate lifting weight (kg) of this appliance is as below:
Model Heat Engine Firefront Combined Weight
Dream 11.28 13.35 24.63
Petrus 11.28 11.63 22.91
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 a burner compartment 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.

3.2 Efficiency.
The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS 7977 - 1 and
the result is as below:
Model Efficiency % (Gross) Efficiency % (Net)
963 80 89
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 BSI (0086). 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.
3.3 NOx
The 'Weighted' result for this appliance equates to NOx Class II.
