If fitting the heater onto a decorative hearth surface such as marble or tile it is advisable
to protect the hearth surface. Do not drag the heater across the surface of the hearth as
this may scratch the hearth surface.
Method A - Screw fixing to a fireplace opening.
Note - If fixing to marble it is recommended that
Method B - ‘Wire fixing to a fireplace opening’ 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
(See figure 4). Mark through the slotted 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. Insert wall plugs into the drilled holes.
5.
Place the heater so that the slotted holes are in line
with the wallplugs in the fixing surface.
6.
Screw and secure the heater with two woodscrews (See figure 3).
Method B - Wire Fixing to a fireplace opening.
This method of fixing is recommended when fixing the heater to a marble surround or
where the wall or brickwork is in poor condition.
1.
The fixing kit supplied with the heater includes a steel wire, wall plug and eyescrew
(See figure 3). These can be used to secure the heater to the back of a fireplace opening.
2.
Mark the eyescrew position on the centre line at the back of the fireplace opening and
at a height of 533-560mm (21 inches - 22 inches) (See figure 5).
3.
Drill an appropriate size hole in the marked position.
4.
Insert a wallplug into the drilled hole.
5.
Screw the eyescrew into the wallplug.
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 (See
figure 6- Item 1). From the front of the heater, thread about 50mm (2 inches) of the steel
wire into the inside small hole on the left side of the heater (See figure 6 - item 2).
8.
Thread the other end of the wire through the remaining small hole on the left hand
side of the heater. Continue to push the wire through this hole until there is only a small
loop of wire at the front of the heater (See figure 6 - item 3).
