Method A - Securing with screws.
Note - If fixing to marble it is recommended that
Method B - ‘Securing with wire’ is used. Drilling
marble without the correct tools and experience
may result in the marble cracking.
1.
Place the heater into the fireplace or surround
opening. Make sure that the heater is in the
middle of the surround or fireplace.
2.
There are two slotted holes in the top of the
heater and four holes in the side flanges (See
figure 8). We recommend the use of two upper
holes and two lower holes. Mark through the
required holes so that their position is clear when
the heater is removed.
3.
Remove the heater.
4.
Drill an appropriate size hole in each of the
marked positions for the wall plugs supplied.
Insert wall plugs into the drilled holes.
5.
Place the heater so that the holes are in line
with the wall plugs in the fixing surface.
6.
Screw and secure the heater with four wood
screws (See figure 3).
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 it can also be used with the optional spacer frame (See method
C).
1.
The fixing kit supplied with the heater
includes a wire and screw eye. These can be
used to secure the heater to the back of a
surround / fireplace opening.
2.
Mark the screw eye position on the centre
line at the back of the fireplace opening and at
a height of 565-575mm (See figure 9).
3.
Drill an appropriate size hole in the marked
position.
4.
Insert a wall plug into the drilled hole.
5.
Screw the screw eye into the wall plug.
