FIXING THE APPLIANCE
Remove any protective film coatings from the finished/decorative surfaces
of the appliance. After having selected the final mounting position of the
appliance, taking into account the requirements as specified in sections 3
and 4 of these instructions, the integrity of the wall, and the feasibility of
the proposed supply pipe routing, the firebox of the appliance may be
secured to the wall.
To ensure customer 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 and the wall is fully cured. 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 any-
thing 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 wallplugs should be of the same size and type as the ones
provided. At the appropriate stage of the installation, drill four holes using only a
8.0mm masonry bit to a depth of 43mm.
Insert the wallplugs provided ensuring they are flush to the wall. If the appliance is to
be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then efforts
should be made to fix in at least two positions 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 indi-
cated to the right. For
further guidance for
wall fixing in timber
framed buildings,
refer to the current
edition of IGE/UP/7.
Using the fitting template provided, mark the fixing positions on the wall.
Pinoir, Memoir and Reflection models : Mark the positions shown as ‘L40 fixing points’.
Saturn models : Mark the Positions shown as ‘Saturn’ fixing points.
If a concealed gas connection is to be made ensure the gas supply pipe is in it’s final position and can enter the appli-
ance in the correct position when the appliance is hung on the wall. Drill the wall as appropriate for the type of wall
as previously described in this section, and insert the chosen type of wall fixings. Insert the wall fixing screws into the
top wall plugs, taking care to leave the screws protruding approximately 5mm from the wall. Now hang the appliance
onto these screws through the two keyhole shaped holes in the upper brackets on the back panel of the appliance.
Insert the lower fixing screws into the lower wall plugs through the corresponding fixing holes in the lower part of the
back panel. Do not tighten fully. Before tightening the wall mounting screws fully, at this stage it is recommended to
check the horizontal alignment of the appliance with a spirit level, as small adjustments can still be made if necessary.
When this has been checked, tighten all four fixing screws fully. To access the upper fixing screws insert a screwdriv-
er through the round access holes in the heat deflectors directly above the catalysts.
Pinoir/Memoir models: To access these holes the front heatshield of the outlet grille will need to be released. This is
achieved removal of the two retaining screws, one on either side, located at the top front corners of the firebox.
CHECKING THE BURNER
There are no imitation fuel bed components to install. The appliance features a ribbon burner which is designed to
produce a continuous band of flame over it’s length.
The burner should be visually inspected to ensure it is free from any foreign matter.
If it is necessary to clean or dust off the burner then the glass door should be removed by removal of the four retain-
ing screws. Re-fit the glass door after cleaning or inspection, ensuring the correct orientation and a good seal.

Plasterboard alone is not considered
to be a structural material.
It is not recommended to rely on
plasterboard fixings alone to support
the weight of the appliance.
WARNING

2008 Focal Point Fires plc.
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 earthquakes,
vibration and other external forces.
