Be responsible when handling the packing materials.
Keep the original packaging for future transportation and/or storage.
Check all accessories are removed from the packaging before storing it away for future use.
KEEP PLASTIC BAGS AWAY FROM CHILDREN!
Choosing a suitable location
This electric fire is designed to be fitted within an existing brick / masonry chimney breast which
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. Avoid any close
contact with water.
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.
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
Please refer to the relevant installation instructions applicable to the model fire
purchased. Installation must be carried out by a qualified and competent person.
The opening sizes required to install the fires are
Asencio
H : 765mm
W : 600mm
D : 185mm
Aleesia
H : 685mm
W : 800mm
D : 185mm
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
IMPORTANT NOTE: Models which have LED downlights included in the suite / surround will
require an additional mains supply. If wired directly into the mains supply, then a fused
switched spur with a 3 amp fuse must be fitted ensuring that the plug socket-outlet connection
is accessible. It MUST be readily 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.
Ultiflame Asencio & Aleesia Wall Mounting
The base of the fire opening must be solid, level and firmly fixed to safely support the weight
of the fire.
The fire is held in place using
4 suitable screws and
fasteners in the 4 fixing holes
on the sides of the appliance.
4 x Fixing Holes
Page 5

A false studded chimney breast can be built with a plastered finish to encase the fire
The chimney wall can now be finished with plasterboard or an alternative facing material which
terminates at the facing trim.
The fire can be fitted direct into the chimney breast and plastered flush up to the facing trim
Ultiflame Asencio & Aleesia with Trim option
Installation is the same principle as wall mounting but the fire is screwed to the plastered wall to
ensure that the facing trims protrude from the fire. For fitting of the trim please refer to the
instructions included with the trim.

INSTALLING THE “ASENCIO” SURROUND
1. Unpack the surround from the wooden crate, check all parts are present and carefully store
the components.
Contents of Asencio
surround:-
1 off hearth panel
1 off R/H leg
1 off L/H leg
1 off R/H infill section
1 off L/H infill section
1 off bottom infill section
1 off top infill section
1 off shelf top infill section
1 off shelf
2. The underside of the hearth should be painted with a weak PVA (8 parts water to 1 part
PVA). This will prevent staining penetrating through the stone. The hearth must be
centred to the opening. If the fireplace is to be installed on a chimney breast ensure that
the opening is also centred to the chimney breast. It is essential that the hearth is
completely level. The hearth must be bedded down on bonding or an equivalent material.
Avoid cement based products and ensure the hearth is firmly fitted and well supported.
Allow the bedding material to set before any weight is placed onto the hearth. Wipe off
any surplus bonding material with a wet sponge.
3. Fit bottom section to hearth, ensure it is central before fixing with a suitable
mastic adhesive.
4. Fit brackets to top of legs, offer leg up to wall and mark position of fixing hole on wall, use
shelf to ensure legs are correctly spaced / positioned. Remove shelf then cover hearth with
dust sheet and drill the fixing holes. Remove the brackets from the legs, fix the side infills
into place with suitable adhesive and secure the leg fixing brackets only to the wall. Fit legs
to brackets that have been securely attached to the wall with fixings as detailed in Point 5.
5. Assess the chimney breast onto which the fire is to be installed and ensure that
it is of sound construction and suitable for supporting the weight of the
surround. Fixings used to secure the leg brackets to the masonry of the
chimney breast shall be of expansive stainless steel or galvanised steel type
masonry fixings for dense concrete blockwork or brickwork. Where fixings are
located into light weight blockwork or friable aggregate blocks, the fixings shall
be of the resin anchor type.

6. Fix the shelf top infill section and shelf infill into place again utilising the same procedure
as for the legs, i.e. mark positions, drill holes to suit, remove brackets and secure brackets
to wall with suitable fixings as detailed in Point 5.
7. Fit shelf top section into place ensuring it is correctly centred, mark the position of holes for
securing brackets on wall, remove shelf and drill wall and insert fixings in accordance with
Point 5, these brackets can be recessed if required.
8. Ensure that the surround components as shown below are mechanically secured as
indicated, this is required in accordance with the latest revision of BS 1251 : 2015
Open Fireplace Components .
9. Once the fireplace is correctly installed, grout all of the joints including between the
fireplace and the wall with a water based cream mastic or tile grout. Ensure all surplus
grout is immediately removed by washing the stonework using a sponge and clean water.

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.
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 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.
