Additional Instructions for Firebeam products
**Installation must be carried out by a qualified and competent person**
Electrical connection
The fire can be connected directly to a 13 amp fused switched spur or plugged into a mains
socket which can be sited on the right hand side of the fire. It is imperative that the power supply
is capable of handling a load of 2000 watts (2kw). This appliance must be earthed. Do not use
an extension lead.
The Beam LED lighting will require an additional mains supply. This can be wired directly into the
mains supply with a 3 amp fused switched spur or plugged into a mains socket.
Ensure that both of the plug socket-outlet connections for this appliance are accessible for easy
electrical isolation in the event of servicing and replacing components etc.
Always ensure that all electrical work complies with the relevant Building Regulations
and the Electrical Code of Practice. All electrical work should be carried out by a
qualified electrician.
Choosing a suitable location
This electric fire is designed to be fitted within an existing brick / masonry chimney breast or
within a false studded chimney breast. The base of the fire opening must be solid, level and firmly
fixed to safely support the weight of the fire.
If the product is installed into an existing brick / masonry chimney breast it must be dry with the
chimney capped off using a suitable chimney cap. The appliance must be kept away from any
source of damp or moist conditions.
Important Notice: To reduce heat losses and to prevent any chimney up draught
affecting the operation of your fire we recommend that the chimney is blocked off.
The chimney breast, wall or fireplace must be of sound construction and all fixings used must
be suitable for the type of wall. If there is any doubt regarding the suitability of the installation
site please contact your supplier.
From the front of the fire ensure that there is a minimum clearance of 50mm between any
non-combustible materials. For combustible material clearances please consult with the
manufacturer.
This appliance MUST NOT be located immediately below an electrical socket-outlet.

The fire opening is to be a minimum of 225mm from the floor.
Table of fire opening sizes
An additional clearance hole is required to feed the
mains cable through for the power supply to the
Firebeam LED lights.
Drill a suitable sized hole to feed the mains cable
through (this can be drilled on the left or right side
dependent on the position of the power supply).
This should be in line with the bottom of the fire
opening and 50mm from the edge.
The fire can be fixed into the chimney breast using the 4 fixing holes as shown below.
The chimney wall can now be finished with plasterboard or an alternative facing material which
terminates at the facing trim.

Offer the beam up to the wall and locate the brackets onto the fixing screws and allow the beam
to drop into position to locate fully within the keyhole slot brackets.
Finally fit the decorative glass into the glass holders as shown and clamp into place by carefully
adjusting the screws on the back of the glass holders.
