1 Wall Mounting Bracket
1 Screw and Wall-Plug Pack (3 x 40mm pozi pan head screws/3 x wall plugs)
The appliance is designed for wall mounting only, at a minimum distance of 100mm from the floor or hearth to the bottom edge
of decorative frame.The wall should be relatively flat and not interfere with any of the various vent holes in the back panel.The
wall must be structurally sound and constructed of a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Finished plaster, conven-
tional wallpaper, dry-lined plasterboard are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as flock, blown vinyl or embossed paper
which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided as some discolouration may occur.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined or a timber framed construction wall 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 control barrier and/or
structural member of the house frame are not damaged.

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO
THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT THIS TIME.
Removing the decorative facia: The Appliance is supplied with a
decorative facia fitted.This must be removed before the appliance
can be wall mounted :
First, remove the retaining thumbscrews (one on each side of the
appliance). Simply lift the frame upwards.
Refitting is the reverse of removal. Ensure the cut-outs in the bottom
of the frame support brackets engage the support pins on each side
of the appliance.
Focal Point Fires plc. assumes absolutely no responsi-
bility for injuries and damages that may occur due to
improper installation or handling.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.
Marking Positions: Having selected the final mounting position for the appliance, taking into account
the site requirements as detailed above, the fire can now be fixed to the wall.The fire is held to the
wall using an upper mounting bracket.The upper mounting bracket is held to the wall by three screws.
When the upper mounting bracket is fixed to the wall the fire can be temporarily hung from it and
then the single lower fixing position marked.The lower fixing secures the fire to the wall and prevents
the fire from being accidentally
knocked off the upper mount-
ing bracket. To fix the upper
mounting bracket to the wall,
using a spirit level, mark three
holes, spaced horizontally to
the dimensions shown in figure
2. These three fixing positions
are located 70mm down from
the top edge of the decorative
front facia when the fire is fully
installed and assembled.
Wall Fixings: If the appliance
is to be mounted on the inner
leaf of a conventional cavity
wall or a solid wall, drill three
holes to a depth of 42mm
using a 8mm masonry bit. Insert the wall-plugs provided. If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or timber framed
construction, then special cavity screw fixings will be required, that are not supplied with this product (see figure 3). Insert 3 x
40mm long fixing screws through the corresponding holes in the upper mounting bracket and into the upper three wall-plugs and
tighten fully ensuring the bracket is horizontal and level. Now remove the six screws as shown in figure 4 and remove the lower
panel.Temporarily hang the appliance onto the upper upper mounting bracket and using a pencil, mark through onto the wall the
lower fixing hole in the centre of the appliance back panel. Remove the appliance from the upper fixing bracket and repeat the
procedure for drilling the wall. Fix the appliance to the wall ensuring one fixing screw is now holding the appliance to the wall via
this lower fixing position.Tighten fully. Replace the lower panel and replace the six screws shown in figure 4.
Peel off any remaining protective plastic coatings on the decorative frame, backpanel and any other surfaces.
Unpack the pebbles and arrange them over the fuel bed.The final pebble arrangement can only be done later when the appliance
lamps are switched on. For the best visual effect, do not push the pebbles up against the back panel, leave a gap of approximate-
ly 40mm between the back panel and the pebbles.This allows light to shine up through the cut outs and illuminate the back panel.

10.0 OPERATING THE FIRE
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!
Check that the fan outlet, mounted underneath the opening at the top, is not covered or obstructed in any way, and ensure the power
to the fire is switched on.The appliance is controlled using four switches mounted underneath the opening at the right hand side.
To operate the fire in any of the above modes, the left hand switch marked (OI) must be switched to the “on” position.To oper-
ate the fire, the left switch must be turned on first, followed by the second switch to start the blower, if required.To obtain heat
from the appliance, the I switch must then be operated for LOW heat, followed by the II switch for the HIGH heat setting.
The appliance can be switched off at any time, irrespective of the particular mode selected, by simply switching the left hand
switch marked (OI) to the “off” position. It is also recommended to unplug the power supply cable at the supply outlet when not
in use.
This appliance has a safety cut-out system fitted which will activate if the air inlets or outlets are obstructed. For safety reasons
the fire WILL NOT switch on again automatically. NOTE:The visual light effect will remain operational if the cut-out is activated,
only the fan heater is prevented from operating.
The following procedure must be carried out before the fire can be operated again:
Unplug the power supply cable at the outlet socket and place all switches to off at the appliance. Leave the fire OFF for a period
of not less than 10 minutes, ensuring any obstructions are removed. 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 to the outlet socket. If this is not the cause, call an electri-
cian.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY OUTLET SOCKET BEFORE
UNDERTAKING ANY MAINTENANCE!

There are no specific requirements for care, other than regular cleaning of the general appliance.A wipe with a dry cloth is nor-
mally sufficient. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. Stainless steel parts (where applicable) may be
cleaned using an appropriate metal cleaner or baby oil.Test on a hidden part of the stainless steel before cleaning. Clean only in
the direction of the grain. Mirror and glass surfaces may be cleaned using normal glass cleaner.
Refer to Section 3.0 Appliance Data for lamp and fuse specification. Excluding lamps and fuses, use only genuine manufacturers
spare parts available from your supplier.We recommend ‘GE Fireglow’ replacement lamps. Do not use ‘Maxim’ branded lamps as
these have been found to cause discolouration of the white inner firebox.
