Method C - Securing with the Spacer Frame supplied with the heater.
The spacer frame is for use in installations where the chimney recess or rebate in the
surround / mantle is not deep enough to take the full depth of the heater. The
minimum rebate / depth required is 65mm.
For your safety the frame and heater must be securely fixed to the rear wall.
Fitting the spacer frame
The rear of the spacer has wider flanges.
These should be to the rear when fitting.
1.
Position the rear of the spacer frame
against the wall. Ensure that the spacer frame
is central to the fireplace. It is important that
the side legs are positioned correctly and are
upright.
2.
Mark the upper positions of the key hole
slots on the rear wall (See figure 7).
3.
Remove the spacer frame from the fireplace
and place away from the work area.
4.
Drill the screw locations using a suitably
sized masonry drill bit for the wall plugs
supplied.
5.
Insert two wall plugs provided into the holes.
6.
Insert a wood screw into each hole (See
figure 3) and screw in until there is
approximately 6mm of screw protruding from
the wall.
Preparing the heater for installation.
1.
Secure the spacer frames to the heater using
four No.8 x 3/8 screws supplied (See figures 8
and 3).
2.
There is a supply cable slot on both sides of
the spacer frame. It is located at the base.
Decide which side to pass the supply cable
through and position the supply cable in the
spacer frame slot.
Fitting the heater.
1.
Carefully lift the heater and locate the slots on the rear of the spacer frame onto
the screws in the wall. The screws can be adjusted to ensure a tight fit. When
mounting to decorative surfaces such as wallpaper be careful not to drag the heater
down the wall as this may damage the decorative surface.
