General Information
The fire incorporates a flame effect, which can be used with or without heating, so that the comforting effect may be
enjoyed at any time of the year. Using the flame effect on its own requires little electricity. A choice of 650W or 1.3kW
heat output is provided by the fan heater which is located at the top of the unit.
Please note: If used in an environment where background noise is very low, it may be possible to hear a sound which is
related to the operation of the flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.
Before switching on the appliance, please read the safety warnings and operating instructions.
Installation Instructions
This section describes how to set up your fire.
Before installing this appliance in an existing chimney, we recommend that;
1. You have your chimney cleaned by a competent chimney sweep.
2. You block off the chimney flue.
This procedure is important for the efficient operation of the heating unit and will also reduce heat loss up the chimney.
BEFORE YOU START
1. Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and retain all packing for possible future
use e.g. in the event of moving house or returning the appliance to your supplier.
2. Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply before installation.
3. Before connecting the appliance, check that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the heater.
INSTALLATION
The appliance must be secured into position to prevent it from being tipped over. There are a number of methods to fix
the appliance in place.
- Method A - Screwing the appliance to the fireplace surround
- Method B - Securing the appliance to the back of the fireplace with the steel cable and clamp
- Method C - Securing the appliance with optional spacer frame
Note - If fixing to a marble fireplace surround, it is recommend that Method B is used.
The appliance can be fitted into fireplaces or surrounds where the following dimension are available (Fig. 1).
Width: 410mm - 450mm
Height: 560mm - 590mm
Depth: 65mm (Minimum)
Method A (Fig. 2)
Place the appliance into the fireplace opening and ensure the appliance is positioned in the middle of the opening.
Locate the four fixing holes in the side flanges (Fig. 2). Mark the holes so that their position is clear when the appliance
is removed. With the appliance removed, drill an appropriate size hole in each of the marked positions for the wall plug
supplied. Insert the four wall plugs and reposition the appliance, aligning the holes with the wall plugs. Using the four
wood screws supplied, secure the appliance in position.
Method B (Fig. 3 & Fig. 4)
Note: This method of securing is recommended when it is not suitable to screw the appliance to the fireplace surround.
The fixing kit supplied with the appliance includes a steel cable, eyescrew and cable clamp. These items can be used
to secure the appliance in place. Begin by marking a hole in the centre of the back of the fireplace approximately 565-
575mm from the bottom of the fireplace (Fig. 3). Drill an appropriate size hole in the marked position, insert a wall plug
and screw the eyescrew into the wall plug. Re-position the appliance in front of the opening but do not insert it into the
opening. Locate the two same sized small holes at the top of the side flanges of the fire chassis. Thread about 300mm
of the steel cable into the bottom small hole on the left hand side flange of the appliance (Fig. 4 - Step 1). Thread the
other end of the cable through the remaining small hole directly above the other small hole. Continue to push the cable
through this hole until the cable locks into place (Fig 4a). (In order to get the cable to snap into place, both ends of the
cable may need to be pulled from the rear of the appliance.)
Next, thread the longer piece of cable through the eyescrew at the back of the fireplace opening (Fig. 4 - Step 2). From
the back of the appliance, thread the longer piece of wire through the top small hole on the right hand side flange of the
fire chassis (Fig. 4 - Step 3).
Locate the appliance in the fireplace opening. From the front of the appliance, gently pull the longer piece of cable
that should be coming out the top small hole on the right hand side. Gather up the excess in the cable until the cable
becomes taut and the appliance is secured. Thread the clamp over the end of the cable and push it so that it rests on
the side flange of the fire chassis. While pulling the longer piece of cable tight, screw the small screw supplied with the
cable and clamp into the clamp so that it secures the cable in place. Thread the remaining piece of cable through the
large hole to the left of the small hole. (Fig 4b).
