TILES (IF USED, E.G BERKLEY)
If the fireplace has a set of tiles incorporated (e.g Berkley), the tiles must be fitted before the
fireplace is put in and cannot be easily changed afterwards.
1. Insert the tiles into the carrier, and seal with fire clay or suitable heat resistant sealer.
2. Screw the carrier - with tiles, into place from the back of the fireplace,
3. Do not over tighten, as this could cause the tiles to crack.
FIREPLACE
1. Offer up the body of the fireplace to the wall cavity, ensure it fits snugly, and is firmly located on
the hearth and against the wall, then mark out the four mounting holes on the chimney breast.
NOTE:
If any gaps were apparent between the wall and body of the fireplace, the wall should be levelled
before proceeding.
2. Remove the fireplace and use an 8mm drill bit, drill the holes in the brickwork and insert rawl plugs.
3. Apply a suitable heat resistant sealant to the mating surfaces - wall and fireplace, then replace
the fireplace and screw firmly to the wall. remove any excess sealant before it dries.
4. Place the grate into position, and position the front cover etc.
MANTELPIECE
1. Secure the mantelpiece using the countersunk screws provided.
The fireplace is now ready to use.
SEASONING
As cast iron is porous, it is possible that the fireplace contains moisture. It is important that this moisture
is removed gradually. This involves lighting and maintaining a small fire only, for approx. 6 hours. Do
not light a full fire until this process is complete, as it could cause the fireplace to crack.
MAINTENANCE
Keep the fireplace clean by using a suitable brush, and buff up the relief work with a clean cloth.
Black grate polish, available from hardware stores, should also be used at regular intervals.
WARNING: THE FIREPLACE MUST BE ANCHORED TO THE WALL SECURELY USING RAWL PLUGS AND SUITABLE
SCREWS AT LEAST 3” (75MM) LONG, IDEALLY INTO BRICKWORK
WARNING: ONCE FITTED MAKE SURE THE FIREPLACE/MANTELPIECE IS FULLY SECURE AND CANNOT FALL
AWAY FROM THE WALL.
