Figure 2. Loose parts identification (Items are not to scale)

If fitting the heater into a fireplace or surround
opening, try the heater in the opening to ensure that
it will fit.
If fitting the heater onto a decorative hearth surface
such as marble or tile it is advisable to protect the
hearth surface. Do not drag the heater across the
surface of the hearth as this may scratch the hearth
surface.
Fascia support brackets.
As supplied the fascia support brackets may be flat
against the heater body. Using a suitable tool or
gloved hand bend the brackets as in figure 3.
Method A - Screw fixing.
Note - If fixing to marble it is recommended that Method B - ‘Wire fixing’ is used.
Drilling marble without the correct tools and experience may result in the marble
cracking.
1. Place the heater into the fireplace or surround
opening. Make sure that the heater is in the middle of
the surround or fireplace.
2. There are two slotted holes in the top of the heater
(See figure 4). Mark through the slotted holes so that
their position is clear when the heater is removed.
3. Remove the heater.
4. Drill an appropriate size hole in each of the marked
positions. Insert wall plugs into the drilled holes.
5. Place the heater so that the slotted holes are in line
with the wall plugs in the fixing surface.
6. Screw and secure the heater with two ‘B’ screws
(See figure 2).
Method B - Wire fix.
This method of fixing needs a fireplace opening and is recommended when fixing the
heater to a marble surround or where the wall or brickwork is in poor condition.
1.
The fixing kit supplied with the heater includes a steel wire and eyescrew (See figure
2). These can be used to secure the heater to the back of a fireplace opening.
2.
Mark the eyescrew position on the centre line at the back of the fireplace opening and
at a height of 533-560mm (21 inches - 22 inches) (See figure 5).
3. Drill an appropriate size hole in the marked position.

4. Insert a wall plug into the drilled hole.
5. Screw the eyescrew into the wall plug.
6. Position the heater in front of the fireplace
opening.
7. At the top of the heater there are four small
holes, two each side of the heater (See figure 6-
Item 1). From the front of the heater, thread about
50mm ( 2 inches) of the steel wire into the inside
small hole on the left side of the heater (See figure
6 - item 2).
8. Thread the other end of the wire through the
remaining small hole on the left hand side of the
heater. Continue to push the wire through this hole
until there is only a small loop of wire at the front
of the heater (See figure 6 - item 3).
9. At the back of the heater there will
be a long piece and a short piece of
wire coming through the two holes.
Hold the short piece and give the long
piece a gentle tug. This will secure
the steel wire. Take the long piece
and thread this through the eyescrew
in the back of the fireplace opening
(See figure 6 - item 4).
10. From the back of the heater thread
the long piece of steel wire through
the outer small hole on the right hand
side of the heater (See figure 6 - item
5).
11. Locate the heater in the fireplace
opening, then from the front of the
heater, gently pull the steel wire on
the right hand side to gather up the
excess until the heater is secure.
Thread the wire through the
remaining small hole to lock the wire
and heater in place (See figure 6 -
item 6).

Method C - Spacer Frame
The optional spacer frame is for use during installations where a chimney recess or
rebated fire surround are not available. For your safety the frame and heater must be
securely fixed to the rear wall.
Fitting the spacer frame
The rear of the spacer has wider flanges. These should be to the rear when fitting.
1.
Position the rear of the spacer frame against the wall. Ensure that the spacer frame is
central to the fireplace. It is important that the side legs are positioned correctly and are
upright.
2. Mark the upper positions of the key hole
slots on the rear wall (See figure 7).
3. Remove the spacer frame from the fireplace
and place away from the work area.
4. Drill the screw locations using a no. 12
masonry drill bit.
5. Insert two wall plugs provided into the holes.
6. Insert a ‘B’ screw into each hole and screw
in until there is approximately 6mm of screw
protruding from the wall.
Preparing the heater for installation.
1. Using the four screws provided with the spacer
frame kit, fix the heater to the spacer frame.
2. There is a supply cable slot on both sides of the
spacer frame. It is located at the base. Decide which
side to pass the supply cable through and position the
supply cable in the spacer frame slot (See figure 8).
Fitting the heater.
1. Locate the spacer frame and heater
over the screw heads ensuring a tight
fit. If the fit is loose, remove the spacer
frame and heater from the wall.
Tighten the wall screws slightly and
reposition the spacer frame and heater.
Fitting the light diffuser.
1. There is a light diffuser supplied
with the heater (See figure 9). Place
this on to the metal flange below the

on the rear of the fascia over the brackets on the
heater (See figure 10).
2. Secure the fascia to the heater with 2 off
hexscrews ‘A’ and 2 off washers ‘C’ (See figure 2)
through the holes in the lower side legs of the fascia.
A hexagonal key is supplied with the heater.
3. Hook the firefront on to the fascia as in figure 11.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE HEATER
How do I clean my heater?
The heater fascia and plastic parts need only to be wiped clean with a dry soft cloth, do
not use polishes or abrasive materials.
I have a problem with my heater!
Important Safety
Before undertaking maintenance or replacing the light bulb always disconnect the
heater from the electricity supply by removing the 3 pin plug and allowing the
heater to cool completely.
1. My heater is on but there is no light.
This is possibly a light bulb failure. Remove the light bulb as follows and check it in a
table lamp that is known to work. If it does not work in the table lamp then replace as
below.
The light bulb fitted to this heater is a 60Watt max, BC Clear, 16,000Hr (GLS)
Bayonet, 240V lamp, but due to the indeterm
inate life span and ease of replacement, it
Page 12

is specifically excluded from the guarantee.
To replace the light bulb.
1.
To gain access to the light bulb, remove the top coal fuel effect and place carefully to
one side.
2. Unscrew and remove the decorative control knob from the front of the ‘ash pan’
casting (See figure 12). Remove the ‘ash pan’ casting.
3.
Swing the bottom of the firefront casting forward and down. Gently pull the casting
away from the heater (Reverse of that shown in figure 11).
4. Replace the light bulb
with 60Watt max, BC Clear, 16,000Hr (GLS) Bayonet, 240V
lamp.
5. Refit the firefront / ‘ash pan’ and top fuel effect.
2. My heater is on but there is no light or heat.
The first thing to do is check the wall socket. To do this plug in a known working
appliance. If the appliance you have plugged in works then there is a good chance that
the problem lies with the 13Amp fuse in the heater plug. If either fuse or socket is
suspected, have them checked by an electrician.
3. My heater is on but there is no heat.
A cut out device is fitted to the heater to prevent damage due to over heating. If it
operates due to an obstruction in the airflow, the heater must be turned off and allowed
to cool for 15 minutes and the obstruction removed before restarting.
4. I Have a problem that is different to those in the previous examples 1- 3.
