Before commencing further with the installation please ensure the 2 X
Fire Support Brackets
have been
attached to the
MDF Framework
, these set the minimum depth required for installation-
238mm
. As shown
on
Page 4
.
We recommend sealing the
MDF Framework
using an appropriate sealer, especially if the installation site is
damp, however this is down to the discretion of the installer.
Decide on the installation height of the fire and using the pre-assembled
MDF Framework
for guidance,
mark and cut an opening in the brickwork so that the
MDF Framework
can be fixed flush with the face of
the brickwork. As shown in
Diagram 4
.
Diagram 4
is for guidance only, the final construction will be dependant on how the existing chimney
breast is built, if a lintel is required, please seek advice from a professional , with reference to the structural
integrity of the installation site.
Ensuring the front face of the
MDF Fram
ework is flush with the brickwork, fix in position through the pre-
drilled holes in the
MDF Framework
. 3 x fixing holes in the top and bottom and 1 x fixing hole in each side.
Alternative fixing points maybe be required depending on the material being fixed into.
