Method B - Securing with wire.
This method of securing is recommended where the wall / brickwork is in poor
condition or where marble back panels / surrounds are used.
Although this section deals with fireplace openings without a spacer, this method of
securing the heater can also be used with the spacer frame supplied with the heater
(See point 7 and figure 7 of method C). It can also be used with the optional spacer
frame (See point 7 and figure 8 of method D).
1.
The fixing kit supplied with the heater
includes a steel wire and eyescrew. These can
be used to secure the heater to the back of a
surround / fireplace opening.
2.
Mark the eyescrew position on the centre
line at the back of the fireplace opening and at
a height of 565-575mm (See figure 4).
3.
Drill an appropriate size hole in the marked
position.
4.
Insert a wall plug into the drilled hole.
5.
Screw the eyescrew into the wall plug.
6.
Position the heater in front of the fireplace
opening.
7.
At the top of the heater there are four small
holes, two each side of the
heater. From the front of the
heater, thread about 50mm of
the steel wire into the outside
small hole on the right side of
the heater (See point 1 - figure
5).
8.
Thread the other end of the
wire through the remaining
small hole to the left. Continue
to push the wire through this
hole until there is only a small
loop of wire at the front of the
heater (See point 2 - figure 5).
9.
At the back of the heater
there will be a long piece and a short piece of wire coming through the two holes. Hold
the short piece and give the long piece a gentle tug. This will secure the steel wire.
Take the long piece and thread this through the eyescrew in the back of the fireplace
opening (See figure 5).
10.
From the back of the heater thread the long piece of steel wire through the inner
