Product Usage Instructions: Installation – Timber

Follow the instructions below to install the Vardo & Huxton Timber Suites Pryzm 750 & 1000:

1. This is a 2 adult person lift. Do not attempt to lift from the centre of the top panel, lift from under the hearth and underside of the trim as shown in Diagram 1.
2. Fit Wall Brackets:
3. Unpack your new suite and remove the rear wall mount bracket which has been screwed to the rear of the fire for transit. Discard the screws.
4. Decide whether the suite will be floor standing with the optional plinth (Vardo suites Only) or wall mounted, and position the wall mount bracket accordingly. If the suite is planned to be floor standing, position the wall mount bracket 205mm from the floor as indicated in Diagram 2. If the suite is planned to be wall mounted, position the wall mount bracket at the desired height on the wall. Use a spirit level to mark a line equal to the length of the wall mount bracket and mark the appropriate screw fixing points. Screw the wall mount bracket securely to the wall using the marked positions with the correct fixing for your wall material. We advise a minimum of 6-off fixings must be used (see `Important Note’ on page 7).

Installation – Timber

This is a 2 adult person lift.
Do not attempt to lift from the centre of the top panel, lift from under the hearth and underside of the trim as shown below.

1. Remove Rear Bracket
   Unpack your new suite and remove the rear wall mount bracket which has been screwed to the rear of the fire for transit. See Diagram 1.
   Note: Please discard the screws

2. Fit Wall Brackets
   The first step to installation will be the fitment of the wall mount bracket in the desired position in the room. Dependant on the model purchased, decide whether the suite will be floor standing with the optional plinth (Vardo suites Only) or wall mounted. If the suite is planned to be floor standing (with the plinth positioned below the suite) the wall mount bracket must be positioned 205mm from the floor as indicated in Diagram 2. Alternatively if the suite is planned to be positioned as a wall mounted model the wall mount bracket may be positioned at the desired height on the wall. Using a spirit level mark a line equal to the length of the wall mount bracket at either 205mm (for floor standing) or the desired base position of the wall mounted suite. Position the wall mount bracket level on the line and mark the appropriate screw fixing points. We advise a minimum of 6-off fixings must be used (see ‘Important Note’ on page 7). Screw the wall mount bracket securely to the wall using the marked positions, with the correct fixing for your wall material.

3. Measure from the underside of the hearth to the bottom of the L- bracket fitted on either side of the fire surround and make a note of this dimension. X detailed on Diagram 3.

4. Measure the internal distance between the surround body and make a note of this dimension. Y detailed on Diagram 3.

5. Working from the centre of the wall bracket- Mark the fixing position of the mantel hooks. X – 28mm and (Y ÷ 2) -10mm, at either side of the brackets. See Diagram 2.

6. Finally fix the mantel hooks securely in position as indicated in Diagram 2 with the correct fixings for your wall material
   (fixings not supplied). See ‘Important Note’ on page 7.

7. Fit Wall Brackets
   The first step to installation will be the fitment of the wall mount bracket in the desired position in the room. Dependant on the model purchased, decide whether the suite will be floor standing with the optional plinth (Vardo suites Only) or wall mounted. If the suite is planned to be floor standing (with the plinth positioned below the suite) the wall mount bracket must be positioned 205mm from the floor as indicated in Diagram 2. Alternatively if the suite is planned to be positioned as a wall mounted model the wall mount bracket may be positioned at the desired height on the wall. Using a spirit level mark a line equal to the length of the wall mount bracket at either 205mm (for floor standing) or the desired base position of the wall mounted suite. Position the wall mount bracket level on the line and mark the appropriate screw fixing points. We advise a minimum of 6-off fixings must be used (see ‘Important Note’ on page 7). Screw the wall mount bracket securely to the wall using the marked positions, with the correct fixing for your wall material.

8. Working from the centre of the wall bracket- Mark the fixing position of the mantel hooks. X – 28mm and (Y ÷ 2) -10mm, at either side of the brackets. See Diagram 2.
9. Finally fix the mantel hooks securely in position as indicated in Diagram 2 with the correct fixings for your wall material  

(fixings not supplied). See ‘Important Note’ on page 7.

3. Hang the fire
   Carefully lift the suite and position the pre installed angle brackets, over the mantel hook brackets. See Diagram 3. Then lower the suite down to rest on the wall mount bracket. Great care must be taken to route the fire power cable correctly as indicated in Diagram 4, confirming the cable is not crushed or damaged on installation. The suite should now be correctly positioned.

4. Secure the fire
   To secure the suite to the wall mount bracket fix with the provided screws through the base of the wall mount bracket up into the suite (see Diagram 5). This will lock the suite in position.
   This completes the wall mounted installation option. For dressing the logs and fire operation, please refer to the separate fire instructions.

5. Assemble the plinth
   For the floor standing suite installation. The base plinth will need to be unpacked and assembled. The base plinth comprises of four main parts which should be built up and fixed together with the provided 7-off cam fixings and 4-off dowels (see Diagram 6). Once assembled the base plinth can be positioned centrally under the suite to complete the floor standing suite installation. Should you require a permanent fix use the mantle hooks and angle brackets provided.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Wall fixings (i.e. screws/wall plugs etc.) are not supplied as these are crucially dependent upon the type of wall and surface the surround is going to be fixed too. The installer is therefore responsible for ensuring that suitable fittings are used according to the particular model to be installed as well as individual fitting situations and environments. All mechanical fixings, for holding the suite in position, must be secured to a solid wall or structure.
