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.

Always use assistance if required.
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 licenced to accept
such waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles,
but we recommend the use of suitable gloves to prevent irritation. We also
recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or
