SAFETY

- When drilling into brick work always wear safety goggles, a dust mask, and

always work in a well ventilated area.

- Keep children clear of work area.

- Always read the installer and owner guide supplied with the fire / heater. This

guide should be read in conjunction with those supplied with the fire / heater.

- Always tidy loose electrical leads in the work area.

- Always switch off electric power when not needed.

- The surround must always be fixed into position.

HANDLING AND UNPACKING

Before continuing any further with the installation of this surround please read the
following:

Important instructions.

- The approximate lifting weight of the surround is 23.5 kg.

- The surround is heavy and we recommend that two people lift it. If for

any reason the weight of either 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. Always bend from the knees rather than

the waist. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst handling.

- Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.

- Always keep the surround as close to the body as possible. This will

minimise the cantilever action.

- Use gloves to provide additional grip.

- Always use assistance if required.
