The drawing and table above shows the position of the wall fixings relative to the finished
position of the Fascia once everything is assembled. The Slimline Burner needs to be
mounted 100% level which is why the Hanger Bracket is designed to be slightly adjustable
in case the initial screw positioning is not correct. This is achievable by sliding the Hanger
Bracket from left to right when the fixings are in position (but not yet fastened) and by
using a spirit level to make sure the Hanger Bracket is level. Always fit the outer two screws
first, ensuring the Hanger Bracket is level. The larger models may have additional fixing
holes between the outer two, to support the weight of the unit. Always use all the fixing
holes in the bracket provided.
3 - Location, Positioning & Precautions
Make sure that the Slimline Burner and Frame is installed no closer than 1m (40 inch)
from any combustible items such as furniture, curtains, etc. See image below this
section. No combustible materials are allowed above the Frame at any height.
Do Not Place valuable items such as artwork, electronic devices, etc. above the Frame
as the hot air that rises from the flame may damage such items.
The Frame is not intended to be Built-In, it is designed to be mounted onto a surface as
indicated in this manual. There are other Slimline Burner Products available in the Signi
Fires Product Range intended for Built-In applications.

Always make sure the room in which the Frame is situated in is well ventilated when the
Frame is in use.
Position the Frame where it will not be affected by any breeze or draft, as this may
affect the behaviour of the flame in an unpredictable manner.
The Frame may not be mounted in a room made of a highly combustible material.
Do not cover any of the vents (top, bottom or back) of the Wall Box of the Frame.
Never place anything on top of the Frame.
It is advisable to consider children and pets when selecting a height for mounting of the
Frame. Always make sure it is not within their reach.
Never leave the Frame unattended when it is lit, or if it has just been extinguished.

the Wall Hanger Bracket to the wall.

NOTE: After hooking the Wall Box onto the Wall Hanger Bracket (Step 2), make sure that
the Safety Clips (image below) supplied are fitted into the appropriate holes to prevent
the Wall Box from accidentally becoming dislodged when the flame is burning.
NOTE: that the Frame may not be installed or mounted onto any combustible material.

Step 2:
Once the Wall Hanger Bracket is secured to the wall, hook the Wall Box onto the Wall
Hanger Bracket and secure in place with the Safety Clips.

Step 3:
Using the hooks at the back end of the Sliding Lid Handles supplied with the Slimline
Burner, lower the empty Slimline Burner into the Burner Tray cut out as shown below. Do not
do this if the Fuel Tank contains fuel.

Step 4:
All that's left to do now is to hook the Fascia onto the Wall Box by aligning the four holes in
the back of the fascia with the four hooks (Fascia assembly clips)on the front of the wall
box. Fill the Slimline Burner with the appropriate fuel, ignite and enjoy. Please refer to
instructions in the Slimline Burner Manual supplied with the Slimline Burner for the
appropriate manner in which to do this.
ALWAYS KEEP HANDY A CLASS B FIRE EXTINGUISHER:
Class B fire extinguishers are used to put out fires that are caused by combustible liquids.
Class B fire extinguishers quell the flames by expelling a dry chemical powder or foam with
nitrogen propellant. The specific chemical can vary depending on the make or model.
Water may not extinguish this flame.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE:
The surface of the inner metal sheet at the back of the fireplace can change with time
due to exposure to the heat of the fire which leads to a slight change in colour or
structure. This is to be considered normal wear and tear and does not constitute a product
flaw or fault. We recommend cleaning the back with a dry sheet of kitchen paper tower
followed by a well wrung wet lint‐free cloth. For cleaning the stainless steel burner please
consult the cleaning instructions in the Slimline Burner manual supplied with your burner.
