8.0 FIXING THE APPLIANCE
DO NOT connect the appliance to the supply at this stage. Remove the single thumbscrew from
the middle of the base panel of the appliance, then remove the wall mounting plate from the appliance.
After having selected the final mounting position of the appliance, taking into account the requirements as spec-
ified in sections 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 of these instructions, the integrity of the wall, and the feasibility of the proposed
supply cord routing, the wall mounting plate may be secured to the wall. To ensure safety, be sure to design the
installation so that the strength of both the wall and any wall fixings used are sufficient.
Focal Point Fires plc. assumes absolutely no responsibility for injuries and damages that may occur due to
improper installation or handling. The appliance should not be installed until all wet plastering and/or dry
wall sanding and wall painting has been completed. Do not block the ventilation holes of the appliance.
The wall onto which the appliance is installed must be flat. Install only on a vertical surface. Avoid sloped
surfaces. Installation onto anything other than a vertical wall may result in fire, damage or injury.
If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity brick wall, or a solid
wall, then the wall plugs and fixing screws provided may be used. Depending on the condition of
the wall it may be necessary to use additional fixings. In this
situation, any additional fixings and wall plugs should be of
the same size and type as the ones provided. Using a spirit
level to check correct horizontal alignment, hold the wall
mounting plate in the desired position and using a pencil,
mark out the position of the fixing holes on the wall.
Remove the mounting plate from the wall and drill four
holes using only a 8.0mm masonry bit to a depth of 43mm.
Insert the wall plugs provided ensuring they are flush to the wall. Using the screws provided, fix
the mounting plate to the wall.
If the appli-
ance is to be
mounted on
a dry lined
wall or a
t i m b e r
framed con-
s t r u c t i o n
wall then efforts should be made to fix in at least two posi-
tions vertically, into one of the wooden studs, or supporting
wooden members of the wall using two of the fixing screws
provided. If this is not achievable then the wall should be
strengthened using appropriate building materials.
If there is no alternative than to rely on some plasterboard
fixings then special cavity screw fixings or hollow wall
anchors will be required which are not supplied with this
product. These should be constructed from metal and not
plastic and of the design indicated in figure 3.
With the wall plate secured in position the heater unit can
be hung onto the wall plate. Ensure the two hooks at the top
of the wall
plate fully
engage the
k e y h o l e
shaped holes
in the brack-
ets at the
top of the
heater back panel as shown in figure 4.
Finally re-fit the thumbscrew to the base panel of the heater via the tab at the bottom of the wall
plate (see figure 2). This fixes the heater to the wall plate and will prevent the heater from falling off the wall in the event it is accidentally
knocked, for example.

Plasterboard alone is not considered
to be a structural material.
It is not recommended to rely on
plasterboard fixings alone to sup-
port the weight of the appliance.
WARNING
The wall where the appliance is to
be installed must be capable of long-
term support of the total load of the
appliance. Measures should also be
taken to ensure sufficient strength
to withstand the force of earth-
quakes, vibration and other external
forces.
WARNING
Ensure the frame is fitted correctly
and the remote control infrared sen-
sor can be seen through the hole in
the middle of the lower glass panel. If
not, appliance will not receive signals
from the handset.
