3. For Front Glass only setup, repeat step 2 above on the opposite side of product.
4. Assemble the appropriate front trim to the product. See Fig. 2
(Three dierent trims are provided with the product to facilitate the various setup options.)
Step 2: Installing the Product
CAUTION: Two people will be required for various steps of this procedure.
This product is designed to be installed into existing block wall or a custom-built studded
wall structure. Please consult a competent installer before undertaking this to ensure a
safe and secure installation. If installing into an existing chimney or ue, please ensure
that the chimney or ue is blocked o. This is to prevent up-draughts aecting product
operation.
Electrical Requirements
NOTE: A dedicated, properly fused 13 Amp circuit is required, rated for the appropriate
voltage (230-240V). An isolation switch should also be incorporated in cases where the
product plug is inaccessible after installation.
An access panel is provided in the base of the product, it is advisable that the plug is
located directly below this panel in the event that access is required to the plug after
installation.
WARNING: Construction and wiring must comply with local building codes and other
applicable regulations to reduce the risk of re, electric shock and injury to persons.

into. Ensure that, when installed, the product is within 1m of a power outlet. Please refer
to Electrical Requirements section above for more details.
It is recommended that the base of the unit is installed between 200mm and 800mm from the

The product must not bear the weight of the nished wall located above it. Consider the
use of a lintel for appropriate support.
2.Using any combination of the three xing methods (Fig. 13 a,b,c), x the product to its
supporting structure.
3.Build the nished wall up against the appliance using the glass trims as a guide.
The nished wall should be built in a way that allows the power supply to be accessible after
installation, the use of an accessible fused isolation switch should be incorparated into
the structure where the plug is located within the structure. Please consult a professional
installer for advise on this.
It is recommended to leave 150mm of clearance area directly above the product for ventilation
purposes. (Fig. 12) This clearance area can be located behind the nished wall surface.
The product should not be sealed in place with silicone or adhesive as this can restrict airow.
Step 3: Fuelbed Assembly
A range of fuel bed material has been provided for you to choose your desired look.
A set of high-quality ceramic logs enhance the eect of this re. Please take great care when
handling these logs to ensure they do not get dropped or rub against each other, as they are
easily marked. The following fuel bed media is included
• Ceramic Logs
• Ash Dust
• Crystal pieces
We have taken great care to create what we feel is the most authentic fuel bed, please follow the
steps below for more information. Please note: A mix and match of fuelbed media can also be
done to create unique fuel bed assembly.
1. Remove front trim on unit. (Fig. 2)
2. Remove Front Glass from product and store in a safe place. (Fig. 6) (A suction cup is
provided to help remove/replace the front glass.)
3. For a contemporary setup (Fig.14), place crystals on fuel bed, covering the top surface of
the fuel bed. These will provide a glowing embers eect, when the ame eect is operating.
4. For a traditional look, arrange the logs on top of the fuel bed, to your preference. Please
follow the steps at the end of this document which provide a visual representation for log
arrangement. This is a proposal on how to arrange the logs, it is however open to your
own preference and interpertaion to achieve a look you prefer.
5. Ash dust is also supplied for this setup. Sprinkle this across the fuel bed to produce a
realistic log burning effect. (Note: Please place the ash dust carefully around the logs to
prevent you from seeing the fuel bed under lights in the reective inner screen to allow you
have a realistic fuel bed As per Fig 18).
6. Reverse steps 1 and 2 to re-assemble product.
