It is essential that this fire is securly fixed to the wall and it is important that the fixing device chosen is appropriate to the wall material. Some modern internal building materials may require specialised fixing devices to provide a safe, secure installation. If in doubt, please consult a qualified installer. The wall should be capable of supporting the weight of the appliance. If the installation of the bracket on the wall is not sufficiently sturdy, the unit may fall and cause injury or property damage.

- Place the fire in the desired location to see how it will look in the room.
- Mark the desired location for the new support structure in the room and store the fire in a safe, dry and dust free location.
- Using timber studs to support the fire, devise and construct a suitable means of supporting the product within the wall partition and provide electrical power for the fire to be HARD wired. For recommended sizes of height, width and depth of opening for recess and hole fixing dimensions
- When the structure is complete, remove the front panel of the fire by following the steps as outlined in ‘Front Panel Removal’ section.
- Locate the 4 fixing holes, position the fire accordingly, and firmly fix using the appropriate screws.

WARNING: KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the oesophagus. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body seek immediate medical attention Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if the compartment is not secure. Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous.
CAUTION: No obvious symptoms
Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a
child’s oesophagus (food pipe). There are no specific symptoms associated with
this. The child might:
- cough, gag or drool a lot;
- appear to have a stomach upset or a virus;
- be sick;
- point to their throat or stomach;
- have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat;
- be tired or lethargic;
- be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise “not themselves”;
- lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite; and
- not want to eat solid food/be unable to eat solid food.
These sorts of symptoms vary or fluctuate, with the pain increasing and then subsiding. A specific symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If the child does this seek immediate medical help. The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with “flat” or spare button or coin batteries in the home and the products that contain them.
Thermal Safety Cut-out
