A second person will be required. Leave the upper bracket attached. Place and hold the fire onto the
lower bracket keeping it firmly pressed against the wall. Check the upper bracket aligns with your original
datum line and mark the fixing holes through the bracket onto the wall.
Lower the fire and drill the holes with an M10 bit and fit the rawl plugs. Again place and hold the fire onto
the lower bracket, press the fire against the wall and secure using the 60mm screws.
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 with the plug inserted into a wall socket.

From the top of the upper fire bracket, measure and mark a level line at 535 mm and 1005 mm.
With the highest edge facing forwards and the lowest edge against the wall, mark up and fix the top unit
brackets with the bottom of each bracket level with those lines. The corresponding edge can be found on
the back of the top unit.
Use twenty eight of the rawl plugs and screws provided (two will be left over to fit the anti-lift securing
bracket).

Securing the top unit into position
WARNING
ANY WEIGHT ON THE TOP OF THE FIRE MAY CAUSE ISSUES WHEN INSERTING,
REMOVING OR USING THE GLASS.
A second person will be required. Now the fire and top brackets are secured into position, the media wall
may be assembled.
Firstly make sure both the plugs from the side lights and the front flexi LED strip are plugged into the
double three pin socket on the back of the top unit and switched on. Ensure the power cable from that
double socket is tucked into the slot shown below.
Lift top unit so the chamfered edges on the back slide down into the chamfered edges on both wall
brackets and into position.

10
Securing the drawer unit into position
Push the drawer unit back under the fire but stop short so you may add the side trims and feed the power
cable from the top unit into the base.
Insert the plug into the three pin socket. Switch on. Plug the lead from that three pin socket into the wall
socket.

11
Magnetic Side Panels & Décor Trim
The left side panel will hide the power cable coming down from the top unit. Fit both sides. Push the draw
unit up against the wall. Using four 13mm screws, secure to the fire along both side flanges. Place your
décor trims over the front and side channel to provide a neat finish, they are held in place with magnets.
Side Infill Trims
Both side infill trims are fitted using double sided adhesive tape. Using the wipes provided ensure the
surface the side infill trims are being fixed to are clean. Remove the tape from the rear of each infill and
press firmly against the wall.

12
Anti-Lift Securing Block
Remove the centre of the top unit by removing the six screws, unplug the flexi LED. Fit the anti-lift securing
block above the lower top unit wall bracket using the final two M6 fasteners.

13
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 reflection
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.
You will need to carefully remove both screens, to do this unscrew the top bracket holding them in place.
Non Reflective Rear Screen Option

14
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 EFFECTS MUST BE POSITIONED ACCORDING TO THE E-FX LOG INSTRUCTION BOOKLET.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE CHANNEL 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.
Fuel Effects

15
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)
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.
Glass Fitting & Removal

16
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
