Installation Introduction
Before the product can be installed, consideration will need to be given to routing the power supply to the fire. This will affect the stages of the installation process. We advise a qualified electrician conduct any electrical parts of the installation.
Note: A single wall socket is required for the operation of the fire,
please refer to the separate fire instructions for further information. This
product has been designed to be installed into a pre-fabricated, or existing
Masonry chimney breast.
Please seek advice from a professional, with reference to the structural
integrity of the installation site.
If the product is to be installed into a open chimney or flue, it is important
that the chimney/flue is blocked off to prevent any up/down draughts and
falling debris which could restrict and alter the airflow of the product.
The product should never be sealed into an opening with the use of silicones
or adhesives as this can also alter the airflow and hinder any future
servicing of the product.
It is essential to include a lintel at the required height to ensure the
appliance does not support the weight of the finished wall.
A pre-assembled MDF framework has been supplied to ensure that the product is
installed at the required minimum internal clearances for operation. Before
commencing with installation please ensure the Fire Support Brackets have been
attached to the MDF framework, these set the minimum depth required for
installation- 238mm. As shown in Diagram 1 below.

Fix the 2 x Fire Support Brackets using 4 x No.8 x15mm Domed-Head Screws into
the pre-drilled holes on the MDF framework . 2 x per bracket.
For installation into a pre-fabricated chimney breast follow the instructions
on Page 5 then continue onto Page 7. For installation into a existing Masonry
chimney breast follow the instruction on Page 6 then continue onto Page 7.
Assembly- Pre-fabricated Chimney Breast
Before commencing further with the installation please ensure the 2 X Fire
Support Brackets have been attached to the MDF Framework, these set the
minimum depth required for installation- 238mm. As shown on Page 4.
Decide on the installation height of the fire and construct the studwork
around the MDF Framework. The studwork construction in Diagram 2 is for
guidance only.
Ensuring the front face of the MDF framework is flush with the studwork, fix
in position through the pre-drilled holes in the MDF Framework. 3 x fixing
holes in the top and bottom and 1 x fixing hole in each side.
Finishing
Plasterboard, skim and decorate the chimney breast, before installing the
fire. As shown in Diagram 3.
Note: The fire is installed in a later procedure.
Assembly- Existing Masonry Chimney Breast
Before commencing further with the installation please ensure the 2 X Fire
Support Brackets have been attached to the MDF Framework, these set the
minimum depth required for installation- 238mm. As shown on Page 4.
We recommend sealing the MDF Framework using an appropriate sealer, especially
if the installation site is damp, however this is down to the discretion of
the installer.
Decide on the installation height of the fire and using the pre-assembled MDF
Framework for guidance, mark and cut an opening in the brickwork so that the
MDF Framework can be fixed flush with the face of the brickwork. As shown in
Diagram 4.
Diagram 4 is for guidance only, the final construction will be dependant on
how the existing chimney breast is built, if a lintel is required, please seek
advice from a professional , with reference to the structural integrity of the
installation site.
Ensuring the front face of the MDF Framework is flush with the brickwork, fix
in position through the pre-drilled holes in the MDF Framework. 3 x fixing
holes in the top and bottom and 1 x fixing hole in each side. Alternative
fixing points maybe be required depending on the material being fixed into.
Pasteboard or Patch up, skim and decorate the chimney breast, before
installing the fire. As shown Diagram 5.
Note: The fire is installed in a later procedure.
Assembly- Fire Conversion Kit Installation
Remove the existing fire side panels from either side of the fire, as shown in Diagram 6. Retain the 10 x No.8 x12mm Domed-Head Screws. 5 x per side. The side panels are no longer required and can be discarded.
If applicable remove the transit brackets from the bottom of the fire, as shown in Diagram 7. Remove the 4 x No.8 x12mm Domed-Head Screws. The transit brackets and screws are no longer required and can be discarded.
Fix the 4 x Angle Brackets using the previously retained- No.8 x12mm Domed- Head Screws. 2 x per bracket. Ensure the brackets are fixed in the correct orientation- the small tab on each bracket should be positioned, as shown in Diagrams 8 & 9.
Installation- Positioning of the Fire
Note: Dependant on the model purchased the fire may require a two adult person lift.
Note: Before positioning the fire, connect the fire to a power supply.
The next step is to position the fire in the opening.
Angle the fire into the opening, as shown in Diagram 10, taking care not to
damage the bottom long edge of the finished opening.
Once clear of the opening, position the fire towards the back of the opening,
so it is clear of the front edge and the MDF Framework in the opening is
exposed, as shown in Diagram 11. This will enable the magnet bracket to be
fitted. See page 10
Ensure the product is connected to the power supply before proceeding
further.
Installation- Magnet Bracket
With the fire pushed to the rear of the opening.
Install the Magnet Bracket, as shown in Diagram 12, using the supplied 2 x
No.8 x15mm Domed-Head Screws, to fix into the pre-drilled holes in the MDF
Framework, this will ensure the bracket is fitted centrally in the opening.
Before fixing in position align the tabs on either end of the bracket with the
face of the finished wall surface, as shown in Diagram 13. This will ensure
the bracket is installed at the correct distance from the front face for the
magnet to engage correctly with the trim in a later procedure.
Installation- Fixing the Fire
Pull the fire forward to the front of the opening and centralise.
Align the tabs on the angle brackets with the face of the finished wall
surface, as shown in Diagram 14.
Fix through the slot in each bracket, into the pre-drilled holes in the MDF
Framework using 4 x No.8 x15mm Domed-Head Screws, whilst aligning the tabs
with the face of the finished wall surface, as shown in Diagram 15.
Finally drill a pilot hole through the locking holes in the Angle Brackets into the MDF Framework behind. Using 4 x No.8 x15mm Domed-Head Screws fix the fire in position, as shown in Diagram 16.
Remove the protective film.
Position the side panels down the sides of the opening between the fire body
and the brackets, as shown in Diagram 17. Secure in position using the 4x No.8
x13mm Pan-Head Washer Screws, as shown in Diagram 18.
Attach the 4 x Ø 10 x 4mm Magnets in postion.
1 x in each bottom corner of the opening, onto the metal side panels, as
shown in Diagram 19.
1 x at each end of the magent bracket, as shown in Diagram 20.
Installation- Fitting the Trim
Finally offer the trim into the opening, engaging the magnets along the bottom edge, as shown in Diagram 20.
Once in position secure though the slots on the underside of the trim into the
pre-drilled holes in the MDF Framework, using 4 x No.8 x15mm Domed-Head
Screws, as shown in Diagram 21.
Note: Once installation is complete please refer to the fire instruction
to see how to dress the logs on your fire and for the full fire operation
guide.
