CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO THE
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT THIS TIME.
Focal Point Fires Ltd. 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 position of the appliance taking into
account the integrity of the wall the electric suite 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 wall plugs 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
one position 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.
Please note: Before drilling into walls, always check that there are no hidden wires, pipes, etc. Make sure that screws and wall plugs
supplied are suitable for supporting the unit in your surface. Consult a qualified person if you are not sure.

Installation Requirements
· Do not connect the heater to the mains power supply until all of the instructions have been read and the appliance has been properly and
securely fitted.
· The minimum safe distances must be observed.
1. Secure the appliance to the wall using the securing brackets and screws supplied.
2. Press each bracket against the inside wall of the surround, ensuring that the bracket is
located as high as possible.
3. Mark the location of the 2 holes on the inside wall of the surround.
4. Carefully drill two 5 mm deep holes using a 2 mm drill bit. Do not exceed 5 mm depth to
prevent damage to the outside surface of the surround. These holes are to ensure that you
do not crack the wood when using the self tapping surround screws to fix the bracket onto
the surround.
5. Place the bracket on the 2 holes and secure it in place with 2 surround screws.
6. Repeat this for the other side of the appliance, so that you have 1 bracket on the left and
1 on the right of the appliance.
7. Carefully place the appliance against the wall and mark the holes of the brackets on either
side.
8. Carefully remove the appliance from the wall and use a 8 mm diameter drill bit, to
drill two 40 mm deep holes where the two markings are, and place the wall plugs in the
holes.

8.0 SAFETY CUT-OUT SYSTEM
This appliance has a safety cut-out system fitted which will activate if the air inlets or heater outlets are obstructed. For safety reasons the fire
WILL NOT switch on again automatically.
The following procedure must be carried out before the fire can be operated again:
1. Unplug the power supply cable at the outlet socket and place all switches to off at the appliance.
2. Leave the fire OFF for a period of not less than 15 minutes, ensuring any obstructions are removed.
3. Plug in the power supply cable at the outlet socket, and then switch on at the appliance.
If the appliance fails to operate correctly, repeat the above procedure. If an attempt to switch on is made before the safety cut-out has reset,
the heaters may cut-out for a further period of time. If the sequence has been followed correctly and the heaters still fail to function, check the
power supply cable plug is plugged in at the outlet socket. If this is not the cause, call an electrician.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE AT THE SUPPLY OUTLET SOCKET BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY CLEANING.
Except for periodic cleaning of dust, there are no specific requirements for care, other than regular cleaning of the general appliance. A wipe
with a dry cloth is normally sufficient. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. Make sure the heater outlet grille (locat-
ed next to the switches) are kept clear of dust, pet hair and other airborne household matter. These should be vacuum cleaned periodically
using a brush attachment.
Replacing the light bulbs.
The LED lights inside the appliance are not replaceable.
