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 height at which you may wish to fix the fire in or on the wall is up to you, we recommend anywhere from
350-450mm from the floor to the bottom of the fire opening (not the bottom of the fire).
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.
