7.0 UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE
Caution: This appliance is heavy. Always seek assistance whilst unpacking and/or during installation. Please read
all the instructions before continuing to unpack or install appliance.
Before starting the installation of this fireplace, please read the following:
1. The installation should be carried out by two adults to avoid injury or damage. If for any reason it is considered too heavy,
please obtain assistance.
2. When lifting the electric suite, always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back. Avoid twisting at the waist.
It is better to reposition your feet.
3. Avoid upper body / top heavy bending. Always bend from the knees rather than the waist. Do not lean forward or sideways
while handling the heater.
4. Always grip the heater with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
5. Always keep the heater as close to the body as possible. This will minimize the cantilever action.
6. Use gloves to provide additional grip.
7. Unpack the package and lift the product gently out of the box, put it on a flat surface with the front panel facing forward.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ COMPLETELY THROUGH THE INSTRUCTIONS AND VERIFY THAT ALL LISTED

8.0 INSTALLATION
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO THE
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT THIS TIME.
Focal Point Fires plc. assumes absolutely no responsibility for injuries and damages
that may occur due to improper installation or handling.
Remove any protective film coatings from the finished/decorative surfaces of the
appliance, if any. After having selected the final position of the appliance taking into
account the integrity of the wall the electric suite 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. 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.
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. 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
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
one position vertically, into one of the wooden studs, or supporting wooden members of the wall using the fixing screws
provided. If this is not achievable then the wall should be strengthened using appropriate building materials.
