5.0 SITE REQUIREMENTS
It should be noted that the appliance creates warm convected air currents. These currents move heat from the room
surroundings to, and up the wall surfaces adjacent to the heater.
Installing the heater next to these types of wall coverings or operating the heater where impurities in the air, (such as tobacco
smoke) exist, may slightly discolour wall finishing.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined or timber framed construction then the integrity and ability of the wall to
carry the weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour barrier and/or
structural members of the house frame are not damaged.
If you are unsure of the ability of the wall to carry the weight and/or which type of wall fixing to use, you should take
professional advice and obtain the correct fixings. Alternatively, find a more suitable wall location.
DO NOT
• mount on a ceiling or floor
• recess any part of the appliance into the wall, or run the supply cable under carpets
• site any electrical equipment e.g. plasma screen TV sets etc, on the wall below the appliance.
• site in a position where curtains or drapes could cover the appliance, or other soft materials could cover e.g. below a coat
rack
• site behind an opening door where mechanical impact/damage could occur
• site where the supply cable would become a trip hazard
• sit, stand or forcefully pull on the appliance
• obstruct, cover or force items into the openings
• use the heater to dry clothes
• site/use in an outdoor location(s)
It is important that the following clearances are maintained from the appliance to combustible materials. These clearances are
dependent on the mounting location as defined below:
• The minimum distance from the top of the appliance to a ceiling is 300mm
• The minimum distance from the bottom of the appliance to the floor is 300mm
• The minimum distance to the sides of the appliance is 200mm
• The minimum distance to the front of the appliance is 500mm
6.0 CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ COMPLETELY THROUGH THE INSTRUCTIONS AND VERIFY THAT ALL LISTED
PARTS ARE PRESENT BEFORE ASSEMBLY.
7.0 UNPAC ING THE APPLIANCE
Caution: This appliance is heavy. Always seek assistance whilst unpacking and/or during installation. Please read
all the instructions before continuing to unpack or install appliance.
Before starting the installation of this fireplace, please read the following:
1. The installation should be carried out by two adults to avoid injury or damage. If for any reason it is considered too heavy,
please obtain assistance.
2. When lifting the fireplace, always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back. Avoid twisting at the waist. It is
better to reposition your feet.
3. Avoid upper body / top heavy bending. Always bend from the knees rather than the waist. Do not lean forward or sideways
while handling the heater.
4. Always grip the heater with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
5. Always keep the heater as close to the body as possible. This will minimize the cantilever action.
6. Use gloves to provide additional grip.

8.0 INSTALLATION WALL MOUNTED
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO THE
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT THIS TIME.
Focal Point Fires plc. assumes absolutely no responsibility for injuries and damages
that may occur due to improper installation or handling.
Remove any protective film coatings from the finished/decorative surfaces of the
appliance, if any. After having selected the final mounting position of the appliance
taking into account the integrity of the wall the firebox of the appliance may be
secured to the wall.
To ensure customer safety, be sure to design the installation so that the strength of
both the wall and any wall fixings used are sufficient. The appliance should not be
installed until all wet plastering and/or dry wall sanding and wall painting has been
completed. Do not block the ventilation holes of the appliance. The wall onto
which the appliance is installed must be flat. Install only on a vertical surface. Avoid
sloped surfaces. Installation onto anything other than a vertical wall may result in
fire, damage or injury.
If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity brick
wall, or a solid wall, then the wall plugs and fixing screws provided may be used.
Depending on the condition of the wall it may be necessary to use additional fixings.
In this situation, any additional fixings and wallplugs should be of the same size and
type as the ones provided.
The wall where the appliance is to be
installed must be capable of
long-term support of the total load of
the appliance. Measures should also
be taken to ensure sufficient strength
to withstand the force of
earthquakes, vibration and other
external forces. Plasterboard alone is
not considered to be a structural
material. It is not recommended to
rely on plasterboard fixings alone to
support the weight of the appliance.
WARNING

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then efforts should be made to fix
in at least two positions vertically, into one of the wooden studs, or supporting wooden members of the wall using the fixing
screws provided. If this is not achievable then the wall should be strengthened using appropriate building materials.
