WARNING: DO NOT TWIST, FORCE OR SQUEEZE THE FIRE DURING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS.
There must be enough clearance for the fire to comfortably fit inside or against a wall. DO NOT SQUEEZE
INTO AN OPENING as this may deform the case and stop the glass from moving correctly.
The fire must be well supported in or on any structure. A wall support or lintel should be fitted at the
required height to ensure the appliance does not support the weight of the finished wall or chimney
breast. Never secure to just plaster board alone.
E-FX Side panels for 1 or 2 sided corner fitting.
If fitting as a 1 or 2 sided corner fire, blanking panels will need to be fitted. Each blanking panel consists of
two parts fitted directly over the side glass. If you need to fit the blanking panel(s) follow the instructions
and images below.
•The right side blanking panel is shown above as you look at the fire.
•Place together as though you have formed a tray with an edge/return on each of the four sides
•Slide onto the fire so the forward edge/return of the inner panel touches the glass panel edge.
•Fix using the four screws, two on the top and bottom but make sure the inner panel and the glass
have free movement to slide forwards and backwards.

Fitting E-FX Fire onto a wall or into a structure.
If purchased as a fire only or as a standard wall mount suite, the height at which you may wish to fix the
fire in or on the wall is up to you.
When purchased as part of a E-FX Media Wall, refer to those instructions. If purchased with a Plinth or
Contemporary legs, the height you will need to fit the top of the lower fire bracket to the floor is in the
table below.

Take the following steps securing your fire firmly into position and onto a wall. Both top and lower fixing
brackets come already attached to the fire. The lower bracket will have to be removed to begin the
process.

A second person will be required. For now, leave the top bracket attached. Place and hold the fire on the
lower bracket and refit the bolts and washers through the slots back into the fire. Keeping the fire firmly
pushed against the wall, mark across the length of the top bracket and into the slots above each hole. Once
again remove the bolt and washers and place the fire onto the floor.
Remove the screws and top bracket from the fire. Using it as a template mark the fixing holes on the wall,
drill the holes with an M10 bit and fit the rawl plugs. Using the 60mm screws fix the bracket to the wall.
Secure the fire onto the brackets
Place and hold the fire on the lower bracket and screw the top bracket back onto the fire with the self-
tappers. At this point you will be able to level the fire accordingly when refitting the M6 bolts and washers
through the slots of the lower bracket and back into the fire.

Before any further work is completed now your fire is secure, make sure the mains cable is tightly fitted
underneath the fire.
As standard one of the two rear screens in the fire has a reflective coating to mirror the log effect. When
the fire is on, the flame simulates a 3 dimensional burn between the actual log effect and the refection
generated by the coating. If your preference is non-reflective, the glass with the reflective coating can be
removed leaving only the projection screen in place.
WARNING: Before any maintenance is undertaken, always disconnect
the fire from the mains power supply.
To remove the fuel bed, remove the two screws at either side. Gently lift the right side, you will need to
disconnect a cable from it to the circuit board below the connector marked Aon the top of the fuel bed.
Once this is done, you may now carefully remove the fuel bed.
Non Refective Rear Screen Option

9
You will need to carefully remove both screens, to do this unscrew the top bracket holding them in place.
Using the foam tape provided in the accessory pack, apply across the length of the top bracket’s front face
to keep the projection screen secure now the reflective glass screen has been removed. Screw the top
bracket back into place and add the projection screen. Place the fuel bed back into the fire, reconnect the
cable A underneath and replace both the screws at either side.

WARNING: DC SUPPLY 12V
IMPORTANT: FUEL EFFETCS MUST BE POSITIONED ACCORDING TO THE E-FX LOG INSTRUCTION BOOKLET.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE CHANNEL AT THE AT THE FRONT OF THE FIRE IS NOT
OBSTRUCTED. ANYTHING DROPPED IN DURING FITTING OF THE FUEL EFFECTS, MUST BE REMOVED
BEFORE INSTALLING THE FRONT GLASS PANEL.
We recommend two persons to fit the EFX 1500 & 1800 glass
Fitting the front glass
Using the images below, push the side glass (A) back towards the rear of the case. You will notice a long
gap on the underside of the opening in front of the heater grills. At an angle of approximately 30 degrees,
push the glass up into this void (B) then straighten making sure the bottom of the glass clears the lower
edge of the fire opening. Carefully lower into the large channel that runs across the front avoiding the
dampers (C)

Glass Fitting & Removal

11
Place the handle (D) onto the top right-hand side of the glass. The upper glass rail is magnetic and will
easily fix into place along the top of the opening (E). Adjust the position of the handle (D) to fit into the
gap on the rail.
With the front glass tilted rearwards pull the side glass forwards (F). To open and close the front glass
panel, place your index finger on the handle as shown in the picture (G). You may finely position the front
and side glass panels to give the best possible fit and finish. Make sure the glass glides forwards and
backwards with ease.
The glass can be cleaned with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner
