sitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided, as some discolouration may occur.
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.
-site any electrical equipment e.g. plasma screen TV sets etc,
on the wall above the appliance.
- site in a position where curtains or drapes could cover the appliance.
-site in a position where 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).
-run the supply cable under carpets.
It is important that the following clearances are maintained from the appliance to combustible materials.These clearances are dependant on the
mounting location as defined below:
a) Wall Mounted:
The minimum distance from the top of the appliance to a ceiling is 500mm.
The minimum distance to the sides of the appliance is 100mm.
The minimum distance to the front of the applaince is 500mm.
The appliance can be wall mounted at floor level, providing it does not stand on a carpet or similar material. Allow clearance to carpets of
30mm.A shelf may be mounted above the appliance provided it meets the requirements for shelfs as detailed in b) below.
b) Floor/Fireplace Mounted:
If mounted into a fireplace surround, ensure that the minimum clearance distances to mantles and/or any shelves fitted above the appliance are
as follows:
When installed with a combustible fire surround, the ability of the surround to withstand prolonged moderate heat must be
assured.

2. Now remove the 2 x No 8 Pozi self tapping screws, retaining the lower lamp cover plate, as shown in
Figure 2, and remove the cover plate.
3. Carefully “ease” the white fuel bed from the appliance.
This allows access to the lower fixing position located at the back of the main case assembly. See
Figure 3.
Focal Point Fires plc. assumes absolutely no responsibility 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 ven-
tilation 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 in sec-
tion 6, the heater can now be fixed to the wall.There are three fixing positions, two upper “hanging” positions”, and one lower position on the
backpanel located behind the fuel bed. Refer to Fig 3 for details. A template is provided to aid location of fixings. Use a spirit level to ensure
that the template is level.This ensures that both upper and lower fixing positions are horizontally aligned. Using the template in the required
position on the wall,“mark through” the template and onto the wall at the three mounting locations designated “P23E” for this particular appli-
ance. Now remove the template.
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 only 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 fix-
ings will be required, that are not supplied with this product (see figure 4). Insert 2 x 37mm long fixing screws
into the upper two wall-plugs, taking care to leave the screws protruding approximately 6mm from the wall.
The appliance can now be “hung” onto the two upper wall fixings, ensuring that the heads of the screws go
through the keyhole shaped holes, and then drop down into the slot. Ensure that the lower rear panel fixing hole aligns with the wall plug, and
then insert 1 x 37mm fixing screw and fully tighten. Finally fully tighten the two upper fixing screws, through the two panel acess holes at the
front of the appliance.
Re-Assembly of Appliance: Note: re-assembly is the reverse of disassembly as described
in section 8.0
1. Refit the fuel bed, ensuring that the lamp spinner is free to rotate.
2. Refit the lower lamp cover plate, firstly inserting the bottom edge behind the firebox lip.
Secure with the two screws previously removed. Peel off any remaining protective plastic
coatings on the front frame, curved backpanel and the plastic fuel bed.
3. Unpack the pebbles and arrange them over the fuel bed.The final pebble arrangement
can only be done later when the lamp is switched on and light shines up through the trans-
parent cover.The ideal pebble layout is shown in figure 5.
4. Reattach the front decorative frame by hanging onto the two upper fixing bolts, and rein-
serting the two lower fixing bolts through the lower fixing brackets. Retighten the two
lower fixing bolts.
Note: For Trinity models either the chrome or brass decorative trim pieces can be
attached. Use the the supplied magnets equally spaced along the rear face of each trim section. Fit both side sections firstly, followed by the top
and bottom sections.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!
Check that the heater outlet grille, mounted at the top of the appliance, 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 at the right hand side towards the top.
• The first switch towards the front, marked (0I), controls the main power to the appliance and switches on the visual light display.This feature
can be used independently of the heating features.
• The next switch marked (*) operates the fan blower without heat, and can be used for cool air circulation. However for this feature, the main
power switch (0I) must also be in the “on” position.
• The next switch with a “single bar” marked (I) operates the low heat, (1kW), setting.
• The switch with “two single bars” marked (II) operates the high heat (2kW) setting.
• To operate the fire in any of the above modes, the left hand switch marked (OI) must be switched to the “on” position.
• To operate the fire, the first switch must be turned on firstly, 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 first 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.
Thermostat (where fitted)
The thermostat control knob is located directly underneath the switches on the right side of the appliance.The thermostat can be used to con-
trol the operation of the heater and maintain the room temperature to a desired level.
To operate the thermostat turn the knob fully clockwise, and wait for the room temperature to reach the desired level. When this happens,
slowly turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the ‘click’ position is reached and the heater switches off.This position will maintain the
room at it’s current temperature.As the room cools, the heater cycle on and off again.To increase the room temperature turn the knob clock-
wise, and to decrease the room temperature turn anti-clockwise.
Note : It is possible that if the room temperature is hotter than the thermostat setting the heater will not switch on and will continue to remain
off until the room cools sufficiently.
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 appli-
ance.
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 electrician.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY OUTLET
SOCKET BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY MAINTENANCE!
Excluding the lamp and fuse, use only genuine spare parts available from your supplier. Replacement lamps must be of the same wattage and
specification as those stated in Section 3.0 Appliance Data/Specifications.
