SITE REQUIREMENTS

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.
If the appliance is to be secure on a dry wall or a timber framed construction then the integrity and ability of the wall to secure 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 secure the appliance 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 run the supply cable under carpets.
• DO NOT site in a position where curtains or drapes could cover the appliance, or other soft materials could cover e.g. below a coat rack.
• DO NOT site behind an opening door where mechanical impact/ damage could occur.
• DO NOT site where the supply cable would become a trip hazard.
• DO NOT sit, stand or forcefully pull on the appliance.
• DO NOT obstruct, cover or force items into the openings.
• DO NOT use the heater to dry clothes.
• DO NOT site/use in an outdoor location(s).

It is important that the following clearances are maintained from the appliance to combustible materials. These clearances are dependent on the securing location as defined on the following pages.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

The minimum distance to the front of the appliance is 900 mm.
There are no clearances for above or to the side of the appliance, apart from being clear of curtains and drapes for a flush wall installation.
If the stud wall immediately above the heater of the appliance protrudes in front of the appliance rather then finishing flush, then the over hanging section of the installation must be made from a non-combustible material, such as calcium silicate.

Front-Facing (One-sided)
A blanking plate will need to be installed at each end of the appliance, offer the blanking plate up to the side of the appliance and ensure that all of the holes in the blanking plate line up with the holes on the side of the firebox. Once in the correct position, screw the 6x firebox screws with a cross headed screw driver into position, use the same process for both sides.

Cornered (Two-sided)
Install only one of the blanking plates on the end thatwill be covered. Follow the front-facing instructions, above, for the one blanking plate. For the exposed side the trims will need to be used. Place both small trims into position, lining the screw holes up, then when in the correct position screw into place with the screws provided using a cross headed screwdriver. Next, secure in place the large trim vertically on to the side of the appliance in between the two small trims. Line the screw holes up and secure the provided screws into place with a cross headed screwdriver.
Fully-inset and Suite Installations (Three-Sided)
Place both small trims into position, lining the screw holes up then screw into place with the screws provided using a cross headed screwdriver. Once the small trims are installed the large trim will be vertically placed in between the two small trims, as pictured above. Use the same steps for both sides.
The 16 firebox screws can be found packaged in the top polystyrene casing and the blanking plates and trims can found underneath the base of the Styrofoam.
We strongly recommend that two people are used to remove the glass, both using protective gloves.
To remove the front glass from the appliance, use a cross headed screwdriver to remove the screws from either end of the top bracket of the appliance, holding the glass in place.

Use the suction cups provided to remove the front glass, ensure that the inside of the suction cups and the targeted surface on the glass is wiped clean with a clean lint-free cloth.

Open the handles of the suction cups and press them firmly onto the glass, ensure there are no air bubbles, then place the handles together on each suction cup. Ensure the cups are secure in position on the glass and lift.

Ensure the glass is supported at all times.
Next, gently leaver the top of the glass towards you, ensuring you have full support of the glass.
Lift the glass up and out from the appliance and place the glass on a soft, flat surface on the floor.

// 8.2 PREPARING THE APPLIANCE – FLOATING INSTALL
WALL BRACKET AND SIDE BRACKETS

Before Installing the appliance onto the wall with the suite, secure the side- trims each side of the appliance as described in section 8.1 Preparing the Appliance.
The installation should be carried out by two adults to avoid injury or damage.
If for any reason it is considered too heavy, please obtain assistance.

1. Remove the wall mounting bracket by first removing the 2x screws from the rear of the bracket and 2x screws from the bottom of the bracket of the appliance. Then move the bracket down and out from the appliance. (See Fig. A)

2. Find the optimal place to mount your appliance. Consider the proper position relative to your room, placement of furniture and windows.

3. Hold the mounting bracket up to the wall to verify the correct location and ensure that the mounting bracket is level. Use a pencil to mark the 12 mounting holes on the wall at the desired mounting location, using the mounting bracket as a template.

4. Drill a 8 mm wide x 50 mm deep hole on the marked points.
   NOTE: If installing the mounting bracket to a stud wall, there is no need to drill the holes in the wood and no need for the plastic wall anchors. It is recommended to install the mounting bracket to at least one wooden stud.

5. Tap the 12x wall anchors into the pre-drilled holes with a hammer until they are flush with the wall.

6. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall by using all 12x wall-fixing screws.

7. Install the suite fixing brackets to both sides of the appliance by lining up all four screw holes on the bracket with the 4x screw holes on each side of the appliance. Once lined up screw 8x 4 x 8 mm screws to connect the 2x brackets to the bottom sides of the appliance. (See Fig. B)

INSTALLATION

British Fires assumes absolutely no responsibility for injuries and damages that may occur due to improper installation or handling.
Remove any protective film coatings from the finished/decorative surfaces of the appliance, if any. After having selected the final position of the appliance taking into account the integrity of the wall the electric appliance may be secured to the wall.
To ensure customer safety, be sure to design the installation so that the strength of both the wall and any wall fixings used are sufficient. Do not block the ventilation holes of the appliance. The wall onto which the appliance/stud wall 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.
If the appliance/stud wall is to be mounted on a dry wall or a timber framed construction wall then efforts should be made to fix into two or more wooden studs, or supporting wooden members of the wall using the fixing screws provided. If this is not achievable then the wall should be strengthened using appropriate building materials.
Ensure that the correct wall plugs are used for the type of wall that the stud work is being connected to. Ensure the plug or fuse spur is fully accessible.

// 9.1 INSTALLATION OPTIONS
The stud wall MUST include a header at the dimensions, highlighted on the following pages. This is to ensure that the weight of the finished wall is not resting on top of the appliance.
The power inlet cable can be installed through your choice of two locations on the top, right hand corner of the appliance. Each can be accessed through one removable plate.
This appliance should be positioned on a firm level surface and in a clean ‘dust free’ environment. If fitted into an open chimney, the chimney must be blocked off to reduce the risk of draught and damp through the fire, which may cause the safety cut out system in the fan heater to operate.
The base of the opening/stud work must be able to take the full weight of the appliance.
Any protruding headers MUST be made of a non-combustible material. See page 12.
To install into a stud wall the mounting bracket must be removed from the rear of the appliance as shown in section 8.2, Figure A, page 9.
Once the frame work has constructed and secured to the wall and the appliance is in its end position, ensure that there is power to the appliance before any cladding/plasterboard is installed.

// WARNING:
Before enclosing the appliance, test the power in situation in order to ensure the power to the appliance working properly.

// 9.2 INSTALLATION – STUDWALL FIXING
FALSE CHIMNEY BREAST CONSTRUCTION
Step 1 – Prepare framework to desired dimensions
See section 9.1 (Pg 11–12) for dimensions

Step 2 – Build frame work and inset the fire
Ensure the structure is safely secured to the wall using the appropriate fixings method and able to support the full weight of the appliance. Please see section 9.0, page 10, for further information

WARNING
The wall where the appliances are to be installed must be capable of longterm support of the total load of the appliance. Measures should also be taken to ensure sufficient strength to withstand the force of earthquakes, vibration and other external forces. Plasterboard alone is not considered to be a structural material. It is not recommended to rely on plasterboard fixings alone to support the weight of the appliance.

Check regularly for security of wall fixings as appropriate. Also check security of supply cable and connections. If the supply cable becomes damaged, it must be replaced by a service agent or competent person, such as a qualified electrician.
Step 3 – Installing the appliance
Insert the appliance into the false chimney breast. With a pencil mark through the wall fixing bracket on to the wall/studding where you wish to attached the appliance to the structure.
Please note: Before drilling into walls, always check that there are no hidden wires, pipes, etc. Make sure that screws and wall plugs supplied are suitable for supporting the unit in your surface.
Consult a qualified person if you are not sure.

Remove the appliance from the position and use an appropriate sized drill for the chosen wall fixing. If the appliance is to be installed into a brick masonry wall the supplied wall plugs can be used, to use these wall plugs drill a 8 mm wide x 50 mm deep hole into the wall. Insert the 2x wall plugs into position, then return the appliance to its finished position. Screw the wall screws through the wall brackets on the appliance and into the wall plugs in the wall and tighten, securing the appliance into position.
Once the appliance is in the correct position plug the appliance into the wall and check the power to the appliance. Refer to sections 11.0 and 12.0 on how to sync the remote and operate the appliance.

After the weekly time is turned on, the remote controller automatically controls the appliance at the set appointment time.

SAFETY CUT-OUT SYSTEM

This appliance has a non-selfresetting overheat protection device (thermal cut-out) which will activate if the air inlets or outlets are obstructed. For safety reasons the fire will NOT switch on again automatically.
The following procedure must be carried out before the fire can be operated again:

1. Switch OFF the appliance at the wall socket or outlet. Leave the fire OFF for a period of no less than 10 minutes, ensuring all obstructions are removed.
2. Switch the appliance to ON at the wall.
3. Ensure the appliance is turned ON at the ON/OFF switches.

NOTE: During the cut-out test the fire will automatically display ‘88’.
If the fire fails to operate correctly, repeat steps one and two. If an attempt to switch on the appliance is made before the safety cut-out has reset, the appliance may cut-out for a further period of time.
If the sequence has been followed correctly and the appliance still fails to function, check the fuse in the wall outlet. If this is not the cause, call an electrician or maintenance engineer.
NOTE: The flame-effect will remain operational if the cut-out is activated and only the fan heater is prevented from working.
// CAUTION:
Always disconnect the appliance from the mains supply outlet socket before undertaking any cleaning or maintenance!

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning:
For general cleaning use a soft clean duster – never use harsh abrasive or cleaners. The glass panels should be cleaned carefully with a soft cloth. Remove the front facing glass
pane in order to clean the inside of the pane. Please refer to section 8.1 to do this.
Except for periodic cleaning of dust, there are no specific requirements for care, other thanregular cleaning of the general appliance. A wipe with a dry cloth is normally sufficient. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. Make sure the heater outlet and inlet grille (located on the top, front, centre of the appliance) is kept clear of dust, pet hair and other airborne household matter. These should be vacuum cleaned periodically using a brush attachment. The LED light strips are designed and tested to last 20,000 hours.
Handset Battery Replacement
Battery Requirements:
Two (2x) AAA 1.5V

1. Remove the battery cover and the used batteries from the back of the remote control.
2. Insert the two replacement batteries the correct way into the battery holder — making sure the batteries are firmly seated.
3. Then insert the battery cover back into position.
4. You will then need to pair the remote to the appliance. Please refer to section 11.0 Pairing The Remote Control.

If in doubt consult a qualified electrician. Refer to Section 3.0 Appliance Data for fuse specification. Excluding fuses, use only genuine manufacturers spare parts available from your supplier.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If the temperature in the room is higher than the temperature selected on the fire, then the thermostat will stop the heater from turning on. For example, if the room temperature is 22°C or above and the fires heater is set at 22°C, then the heater will not be required until the room temperature drops below 22°C. If this is the case select a higher temperature setting than the room’s temperature and the heater will begin to operate. The safety cut-out may have been operated. Switch the appliance off, leave for 10 minutes then switch back on.

OP| There is a fault with the heater. Check that the temperature is not set onto the lower settings. If the room is warm enough the thermostat will stop the fire switching the heat on. Check that the air vent are not blocked off.
There is an electrical fault. A service engineer will need to check the thermostat for any loose connections.
The open Window Detection function is in operation, this operates when the appliance is heating and the ambient temperature suddenly drops ≥5°C within 10 minutes, and the environment cannot be warmed up within 30 minutes, resulting in the appliance automatically displaying “OP.” The heating function will then be automatically turned off, and when the “OP” is displayed, it can be turned off and then restarted by turning off and on the appliance to clear the fault code.
