// 2.0 APPLIANCE PLUG // 3.0 APPLIANCE DATA
These appliances are supplied with a pre-wired three
pin plug 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 installa-
tion 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 elec-
trician. This heater is for use on 220–240 volts. The

It should be noted that the 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 appliance is to be secure on a dry wall or a timber framed
construction then the integrity and ability of the wall to secure the
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
appliance to combustible materials. These clearances are dependent
on the securing location as defined on the following pages.
// 05

// 5.0 SITE REQUIREMENTS // 6.0 CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES // 7.0 UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE
870, 1200, 1600 & 1900
The minimum distance to the front of the appliance
is 900 mm.
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 appliance protrudes in front of the appliance
rather then finishing flush, then the over hanging
section of the installation must be made from a
non-combustible material, such as calcium silicate.
*See page 12 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 the 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 and 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.

// 9.0 INSTALLATION
British Fires assumes absolutely no responsibility for
injuries and damages that may occur due to improper
installation or handling.
Remove any protective film coatings from the
finished/decorative surfaces of the appliance,
if any. After having selected the final position of the
appliance taking into account the integrity of the wall
the electric appliance may be secured to the wall.
To ensure customer safety, be sure to design the
installation so that the strength of both the wall
and any wall fixings used are sufficient. Do not block
the ventilation holes of the appliance. The wall onto
which the appliance/stud wall is installed must be
flat. Install only on a vertical surface. Avoid sloped
surfaces. Installation onto anything other than a
vertical wall may result in fire, damage or injury.
If the appliance/stud wall is to be mounted on a dry
wall or a timber framed construction wall then efforts
should be made to fix into two or more wooden studs,
or supporting wooden members of the wall using the
fixing screws provided. If this is not achievable then
the wall should be strengthened using appropriate
building materials.
Ensure that the correct wall plugs are used for the
type of wall that the stud work is being connected to.
Ensure the plug or fuse spur is fully accessible.
// WARNING:
Before enclosing the appliance, test the power
in situation in order to ensure the power to the
appliance working properly.
// 9.1 INSTALLATION OPTIONS
The stud wall MUST include a header at the dimensions,
highlighted on the following pages. This is to ensure
that the weight of the finished wall is not resting on
top of the appliance.
The power inlet cable can be installed through your
choice of two locations on the top, right hand corner
of the appliance. Each can be accessed through one
removable plate.
This appliance should be positioned on a firm level
surface and in a clean ‘dust free’ environment. If
fitted into an open chimney, the chimney must be
blocked off to reduce the risk of draught and damp
through the fire, which may cause the safety cut out
system in the fan heater to operate.
The base of the opening/stud work must be able to
take the full weight of the appliance.
Any protruding headers MUST be made of a non-combustible
material.
See page 16.
To install into a stud wall the mounting bracket must
be removed from the rear of the appliance as shown
in section 9.3, page 16–18.
Once the frame work has constructed and secured to the wall
and the appliance is in its end position, ensure that there is
power to the appliance before any cladding/plasterboard is
installed.

// 9.2 INSTALLATION – STUDWALL FIXING
FALSE CHIMNEY BREAST CONSTRUCTION
Ensure the structure is safely
secured to the wall using the appro-
priate fixings method and able
to support the full weight of the
appliance. Please see section 9.0,
page 10, for further information
Step 2 – Build frame work and inset the fireStep 1 – Prepare framework to desired dimensions
See section 9.1 (Pg 11–12) for dimensions
Check regularly for security
of wall fixings as appropriate.
Also check security of supply
cable and connections. 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.

Insert the appliance into the false chimney breast. With a pencil
mark through the wall fixing bracket on to the wall/studding where
you wish to attached the appliance to the structure.
Please note: Before drilling into walls, always check that there
are no hidden wires, 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.
Step 3 – Installing the appliance
Remove the appliance from the position and use an appropriate
sized drill for the chosen wall fixing. If the appliance is to be
installed into a brick masonry wall the supplied wall plugs can be
used, to use these wall plugs drill a 8 mm wide x 50 mm deep hole
into the wall. Insert the 2x wall plugs into position, then return the
appliance to its finished position. Screw the wall screws through
the wall brackets on the appliance and into the wall plugs in the
wall and tighten, securing the appliance into position.
Once the appliance is in the correct position plug the appliance
into the wall and check the power to the appliance. Refer to
