2.
The underside of the hearth should be painted with a weak PVA (8 parts water to 1 part
PVA). This will prevent staining penetrating through the stone. The hearth must be
centred to the opening. If the fireplace is to be installed on a chimney breast ensure that
the opening is also centred to the chimney breast. It is essential that the hearth is
completely level. The hearth must be bedded down on bonding or an equivalent material.
Avoid cement based products and ensure the hearth is firmly fitted and well supported.
Allow the bedding material to set before any weight is placed onto the hearth. Wipe off
any surplus bonding material with a wet sponge.
3.
Fit bottom section to hearth, ensure it is central before fixing with a suitable
mastic adhesive.
4.
Fit brackets to top of legs, offer leg up to wall and mark position of fixing hole on wall, use
shelf to ensure legs are correctly spaced / positioned. Remove shelf then cover hearth with
dust sheet and drill the fixing holes. Remove the brackets from the legs, fix the side infills
into place with suitable adhesive and secure the leg fixing brackets only to the wall. Fit legs
to brackets that have been securely attached to the wall with fixings as detailed in Point 5
5.
Assess the chimney breast onto which the fire is to be installed and ensure that
it is of sound construction and suitable for supporting the weight of the
surround. Fixings used to secure the leg brackets to the masonry of the
chimney breast shall be of expansive stainless steel or galvanised steel type
masonry fixings for dense concrete blockwork or brickwork. Where fixings are
located into light weight blockwork or friable aggregate blocks, the fixings shall
be of the resin anchor type.
6.
Fix the shelf top infill section and shelf infill into place again utilising the same procedure
as for the legs, i.e. mark positions, drill holes to suit, remove brackets and secure brackets
to wall with suitable fixings as detailed in Point 5.
7.
Safely route the lighting kit wiring up to the surround shelf infill level ensuring that the
wiring is kept clear of the fire and not trapped.
8.
Remove the round locking clip from inside the chrome down lighter and fit the supplied LED
bulb. Refit the locking ring inside to keep the bulb in place. Repeat for the second down
lighter
9.
Fit the 2 down lighters from the underside of the shelf top infill header, by lifting the spring
clamps and fitting into the two holes in the Shelf top infill
10.
Once fitted in place connect the 2 bulbs using the two connectors on the wiring loom and
ensure the wiring, remote receiver unit and power unit are safely routed in the surround
11.
Fit the supplied battery in the remote control handset and switch on power to the
downlights. Check the lighting works correctly with the remote control. If required move
the position of the remote receiver unit and aerial wire to ensure good signal coverage.
After checking the lighting switch off the power before proceeding.
