Your Electric Flame
Effect Heater
Congratulations on the purchase of your
new Heater. Before using your new heater,
it is important that you read and follow the
instructions in this Use and Care booklet, even
if you feel that you are quite familiar with this
appliance. Find a place to keep this booklet
handy for future reference. Attention is drawn to
section dealing with ‘IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.’
This appliance has been designed to operate
from a standard domestic power outlet. It is not
intended for industrial or commercial use.
Wall-mount Instructions
This Electric Flame Effect Heater also comes with
a wall mounting kit if the preferred option is to
wall mount the heater.
The following installation instructions must be
adhered to in order to ensure that it is installed
and secured safely:
1. Only mount heater horizontally, For installation
of the heater, care must be taken not to
damage concealed cables.
2. Minimum of 300mm in height from the oor
and minimum 1000mm from the ceiling.
3. Domestic power outlet positioned adjacent
, to the right hand-side of the heater (In situ)
and within heater power cord length(Do not
use extension leads to reach power outlet).
4. Wall mount bracket(s) must be secured in
to solid substrate ( Brick , concrete etc.)
or aligned with timber or metal wall studs,
DO NOT secure onto just plaster or similar
materials that cannot support the weight of
the heater. Mounting brackets, screws and
wall plugs are included.
5. Ensure that heater is mounted away from any
surrounding combustible materials.
6. Ensure to fully read the installation instructions
to familiarize yourself with the installation
requirements.
Do not start the heater until it is securely xed
to the wall and minimum distances stated are
strictly adhered to.
7. Take care when using tools to drill holes to
ensure mounting bracket can be securely
tted and support the weight of the heater(
Oversize holes and loose wall plugs may result
in appliance becoming detached and cause
damage to the appliance or injury).
Wall-mount steps:
1. Although a minimum distance of 300mm from
the oor is to be adhered to, for optimum
viewing of the fuel bed, 600mm height is
recommended. Select a location that is not
prone to moisture and is located at least 1m
away from combustible materials such as
curtain drapes, furniture, bedding, paper, etc.
Have two people hold the appliance against
the wall to determine the nal location.
2. Place unit face down on a soft, non abrasive
surface. Remove the bracket from the back
of the unit by removing the screws,
3. Mark the top four screws holes (Applicable
to solid substrate of Brick concrete etc.) and
ensure it is level. Use 8.0mm Masonry drill bit,
drill 40 mm deep holes, insert wall plugs and
secure bracket with the 4 x 40mm screws
provided. For plaster walls with Timber or Steel
wall studs ensure to secure bracket to at least
2 wall studs (Additional pilot hole may need
to be drilled into bracket to obtain alignment
with a minimum of 2 studs). In this instance
there is no need to drill holes to insert wall
plugs, but can secure bracket with screws
directly into studs.
NOTE: Ensure that the screws that hold the
mounting bracket are securely screwed
into timber or metal wall studs, secured
with plugs just into plaster will not be safe
to support the weight of the mounted
heater.
Note: Ensure the bracket is level by using
a spirit level whilst marking out the hole
positions.
