Choosing a suitable location
This electric fire is designed to be fitted into a studded wall or supplied suite. Alternatively it can
be wall mounted to a solid wall using the wall mounting bracket as fitted to the rear of the fire.
The appliance must be kept away from any source of damp or moist conditions. Avoid any close
contact with water.
The wall 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.
The fire can be connected direct or plugged into a mains socket which can be sited on the right
hand side of the fire.
Ensure that the plug socket-outlet connection for this appliance is accessible. It MUST be readily
accessible for easy electrical isolation in the event of servicing and replacing components etc. This
appliance MUST NOT be located immediately below an electrical socket-outlet.
Installation
Installation must be carried out by a qualified and competent person.
Connect the appliance to single-phase AC supply of the voltage specified on the rating plate.
Should the fire be connected directly into the mains supply, then a fused switched spur with a 13
amp fuse must be fitted. It is imperative that the power supply is capable of handling a load of
2000 watts (2kw). This appliance must be earthed. Allow sufficient flex to enable the fire to be
removed from the wall. Do not use an extension lead.
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.

Wall Mounting
Using a screwdriver remove the two screws that secure the wall mounting bracket to the top of
the appliance and remove the wall mounting bracket and keep in a safe place.
Position the mounting bracket where the appliance is to be installed on the wall and ensure that
the bracket is level. Mark all 12 holes on the wall mounting bracket as shown below.
Fix bracket to wall using suitable size screws and wall plugs appropriate for the walls construction.
Note heavy duty wall anchors or equivalent should be used when installing onto hollow/studded
walls.
Hang the appliance onto the hooks at the bottom of the bracket and push the top of the appliance
into the mounting bracket. Now fix the appliance to the mounting bracket by refitting the two
screws which were removed at the beginning.

Studded Wall Installation (Media Wall)
The fire can be installed as either a 1, 2 or 3 glass sided product. Out of the box the fire comes
with removable side panels fitted to both ends of the firebox.
These side panels can be removed to create a side glass viewing window depending on your
installation requirements. Remove the screws which hold the side brackets and side panel, refit
the side brackets back into position.

put in a safe place.
Take care when unpacking the Logs and the Ember Ice crystals supplied with your fire. Scatter
the Ember Ice over the fire bed making sure the black and clear embers are mixed evenly.

IMPORTANT
This appliance is fitted with an automatic thermal cut-out safety feature to reduce the risk of
damage to appliance due to overheating. If the appliance overheats the heater element will cut out
whilst the fan will still continue to run to allow the fire to cool down sufficiently.
Once the appliance has cooled down the thermal cut-out will reset itself and switch the heater
back on. If the problem persists switch the appliance off and disconnect the power at the switch
and plug socket. Check that the heater warm air outlets and the inlets are not obstructed (the
outlets and inlets are situated on the underside of the upper canopy). If the fire is installed within
a chimney ensure that the chimney is blocked off as any draught can cause this problem.
If the heater is still not operating correctly disconnect the appliance and seek expert advice.
Maintenance Instructions
Always remove the plug from the socket-outlet and allow the heater to cool down
before cleaning. User maintenance should only be carried out by a competent person.
Light accumulated dust may be removed from the appliance with a soft dry cloth.
The exterior surface of the appliance can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth (not dripping wet).
Dry the exterior surface before operating the heater.
Household glass cleaner can be used on the fire glass.
WARNING!
Do not immerse the heater in water.
Do not use any cleaning chemicals such as detergents and abrasives.
Do not allow the interior to get wet as this could create a hazard.
In the event of malfunction contact the manufacturer, do not try to repair the heater
yourself as this may result in a fire hazard or electric shock.
Environment
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste. Use
separate collection facilities. Contact your local government for information
regarding the collection services available in your local area. If electrical
appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps hazardous substances can
leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain, thus damaging
your health and wellbeing.
When replacing old appliances with new ones the retailer is legally obligated
to take away your old appliance for disposal free of charge.
