Identifying Mounting Location
•
When choosing a location for your electric Fireplace, ensure that the general instructions are
followed.
•
This Fireplace must be mounted on a flat wall. Ideally, install the Fireplace directly on a brick
wall, masonry surface or the internal wooden frame of a plasterboard wall. If the wooden frame
behind the plasterboard is not accessible, use a minimum of four heavy-duty anchors (not
included) that are suitable for the weight of the Fireplace. If you are not sure if the wall is stable
enough,
consult a hardware expert.
•
If the Fireplace is to be mounted on to a plasterboard wall with wooden studs, make sure the
wall is strong and stable enough to hold the weight of the appliance. The vapor control barrier
must not be damaged, and the structural members of the house must not be damaged. We
recommend minimum 12mm thick plasterboard.
•
Do not recommend that the Fireplace be fitted to a wall covered in blown vinyl wallpaper,
polystyrene tiles or other flammable materials.
•
It is important that the Fireplace be never installed under a shelf or flammable materials such as
curtains.
•
For best results, install the Fireplace away from direct sunlight, moisture and dust.
•
Before drilling into walls, always check that there are no hidden wires, water pipes, gas pipes etc.
Make sure that screws and wall plugs supplied are suitable for supporting the unit in your
surface. Consult a qualified person if you are not sure.
•
For best view of the flame effect, it is recommended that there be a distance of 2 feet from the
bottom of the fireplace and the floor.
