// WARNING:
Before enclosing the appliance, test the power in situation
in order to ensure the power to the appliance working properly.
These appliances are supplied with a pre-wired
three pin plug (13 Amp fuse rated) and 1.8 metres
of electrical cable. It is therefore necessary for a
suitable electrical socket to be located within this
distance and be easily accessible. The appliances
are suitable for installation in static holiday/park
homes. The appliances may be hard wired into a fuse
spur, providing that the fuse spur is external to the
installation and easily accessible, this must be carried
out by a service agent or competent person, such as
a qualified electrician.

It should be noted that each appliance creates warm convected air
currents. These currents move heat from the room surroundings to,
and up the wall surfaces adjacent to the heater.
If the appliances are to be secure on a dry lined or timber framed
construction then the integrity and ability of the wall to secure each
appliance must be confirmed. It is important, in these circumstances,
that any vapour barrier and/or structural members of the house frame
are not damaged.
If you are unsure of the ability of the wall to secure the appliance and/or
which type of wall fixing to use, you should take professional advice and
obtain the correct fixings. Alternatively, find a more suitable wall location.
DO NOT run the supply cable under carpets.
DO NOT site in a position where curtains or drapes could cover the appliance, or other soft materials
could cover e.g. below a coat rack.
DO NOT site behind an opening door where mechanical impact/damage could occur.
DO NOT site where the supply cable would become a trip hazard.
DO NOT sit, stand or forcefully pull on the appliance.
DO NOT obstruct, cover or force items into the openings.
DO NOT use the heater to dry clothes.
DO NOT site/use in an outdoor location(s).
It is important that the following clearances are maintained from the
appliances to combustible materials. These clearances are dependent
on the securing location as defined on the following pages.
The minimum distance to the front of the appliances is
900mm.
There are no clearances for above or to the side of the
appliance, apart from being clear of curtains and drapes for a
flush wall installation.
If the stud wall immediately above the heater of the appliances
protrudes in front rather than finishing flush, then the over
hanging section of the installation must be made from a non-
combustible material, such as calcium silicate.
*See page 11.1 on page 28 for more details
BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION
OF THIS FIREPLACE, PLEASE READ THE
FOLLOWING:
1) The installation should be carried out by two adults to avoid
injury or damage. If for any reason it is considered too heavy,
please obtain assistance.
2) When lifting each electric appliance, always keep your back
straight. Bend your legs and not your back. Avoid twisting at
the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
3) Avoid upper body / top heavy bending. Always bend from
the knees rather than the waist. Do not lean forward or
sideways while handling the appliance.
4) Always grip the appliance with the palm of the hand – do not
use the tips of fingers for support.
5) Always keep the appliance as close to the body as possible.
This will minimize the cantilever action.
6) Use gloves to provide additional grip.

Check regularly for security of wall
fixings as appropriate. Also check
security of supply cable and connec-
tions. If the supply cable becomes
damaged, it must be replaced by a
service agent or competent person,
such as a qualified electrician.
The wall where the appliances are to
be installed must be capable of long-
term support of the total load of the
appliance. Measures should also be
taken to ensure sufficient strength to
withstand the force of earthquakes,
vibration and other external forces.
Plasterboard alone is not considered
to be a structural material. It is not
recommended to rely on plasterboard
fixings alone to support the weight of
the appliance.
