Your new electric fireplace may be installed virtually anywhere in your home.
However, when choosing a location, ensure that the general instructions are
followed:
⚫For best result, install out of direct sunlight, water or very damp air.
⚫The appliance should be connected to a grounded electrical outlet and it
must be easily accessible to allowdisconnection.
Connect the mood light cable

alternatively it can be hard wired by unscrewing and removing the Access Plate,
the Mains Cable and retention grommet. The access plate can be repositioned
so that the 22mm hole sits over the cutout in top of appliance.
The 22mm hole can be used to fix a conduit connector so that the appliance can
be hard wired.

Framing Plate
5.2 Installing the Appliance
The following is only given as a general guide because it can be installed in so
many ways. Provided you ensure electric connections are safely made in
accordance with the codes, various materials can be used for the framework and
cladding. Ensure the framing and wall finish are self- supporting and do not rely
on the appliance to support framing or wall finish. Consideration should be made
to soften internal surface of cladding to minimize the amplification of noise using
for example mineral wool of similar.
Flush Mounted Installation
Prepare the framework as a general guide only see picture below
NOTE: Ensure a firm flat positioning of the appliance and secure fixing to
avoid vibration and movement of the appliance after cladding.
⚫Push the appliance into the framework and bend out the four brackets on
the upper and lower edges of the appliance, so they can fix with the screws
provided to the framework.
