Installation Introduction
200799_1
Before the product can be installed, consideration will need to be given to routing the power supply to the
fire. This will affect the stages of the installation process. We advise a qualified electrician conduct any
electrical parts of the installation.
Note: A single wall socket is required for the operation of the fire, please refer to the separate fire
instructions for further information.
This product has been designed to be installed into a pre-fabricated, or existing Masonry chimney breast.
Please seek advice from a professional, with reference to the structural integrity of the installation site.
If the product is to be installed into a open chimney or flue, it is important that the chimney/flue is blocked
off to prevent any up/down draughts and falling debris which could restrict and alter the airflow of the
product.
The product should never be sealed into an opening with the use of silicones or adhesives as this can also
alter the airflow and hinder any future servicing of the product.
It is essential to include a lintel at the required height to ensure the appliance does not support the weight
of the finished wall.
A pre-assembled MDF framework has been supplied to ensure that the product is installed at the required
minimum internal clearances for operation. Before commencing with installation please ensure the Fire
Support Brackets have been attached to the MDF framework, these set the minimum depth required for
installation- 238mm. As shown in Diagram 1 below.
Diagram 1
Fix the 2 x Fire Support Brackets using 4 x No.8 x15mm Domed-Head Screws into the pre-drilled holes on
the MDF framework . 2 x per bracket.

Before commencing further with the installation please ensure the 2 X Fire Support Brackets have been
attached to the MDF Framework, these set the minimum depth required for installation- 238mm. As shown
on Page 4.
Decide on the installation height of the fire and construct the studwork around the MDF Framework. The
studwork construction in Diagram 2 is for guidance only.
Ensuring the front face of the MDF framework is flush with the studwork, fix in position through the pre-drilled
holes in the MDF Framework. 3 x fixing holes in the top and bottom and 1 x fixing hole in each side.

200799_1
Before commencing further with the installation please ensure the 2 X Fire Support Brackets have been
attached to the MDF Framework, these set the minimum depth required for installation- 238mm. As shown
on Page 4.
We recommend sealing the MDF Framework using an appropriate sealer, especially if the installation site is
damp, however this is down to the discretion of the installer.
Decide on the installation height of the fire and using the pre-assembled MDF Framework for guidance,
mark and cut an opening in the brickwork so that the MDF Framework can be fixed flush with the face of
the brickwork. As shown in Diagram 4.
Diagram 4 is for guidance only, the final construction will be dependant on how the existing chimney
breast is built, if a lintel is required, please seek advice from a professional , with reference to the structural
integrity of the installation site.
Ensuring the front face of the MDF Framework is flush with the brickwork, fix in position through the pre-
drilled holes in the MDF Framework. 3 x fixing holes in the top and bottom and 1 x fixing hole in each side.
Alternative fixing points maybe be required depending on the material being fixed into.

Installation- Positioning of the Fire
200799_1
Note: Before positioning the fire, connect the fire to a power supply.
The next step is to position the fire in the opening.
Angle the fire into the opening, as shown in Diagram 10, taking care
not to damage the bottom long edge of the finished opening.
Once clear of the opening, position the fire towards the back of the opening, so it is clear of the front edge
and the MDF Framework in the opening is exposed, as shown in Diagram 11. This will enable the magnet
bracket to be fitted. See page 10
Ensure the product is connected to the power supply before proceeding further.
Diagram 10 Diagram 11
Note: Dependant on the model
purchased the fire may require a
two adult person lift.

Installation- Magnet Bracket
200799_1
With the fire pushed to the rear of the opening.
Install the Magnet Bracket, as shown in Diagram 12, using the supplied 2 x No.8 x15mm Domed-Head
Screws, to fix into the pre-drilled holes in the MDF Framework, this will ensure the bracket is fitted centrally in
the opening.
Before fixing in position align the tabs on either end of the bracket with the face of the finished wall
surface, as shown in Diagram 13.
This will ensure the bracket is installed at the correct distance from the front face for the magnet to engage
correctly with the trim in a later procedure.
