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 lined or 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 900mm.
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.
CAUTION:
This appliance is heavy. Always seek assistance whilst unpacking and/or during
installation. Please read all the instructions before continuing to unpack or
install appliance.
UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE
BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION OF THIS FIREPLACE, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
-
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.
-
When lifting the electric appliance, always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back. Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
-
Avoid upper body / top heavy bending. Always bend from the knees rather than the waist. Do not lean forward or sideways while handling the appliance.
-
Always grip the appliance with the palm of the hand – do not use the tips of fingers for support.
-
Always keep the appliance as close to the body as possible.
This will minimize the cantilever action. -
Use gloves to provide additional grip.
-
Unpack the package and lift the appliance gently out of the box. Put it on a flat surface with the front panel facing forward.
IMPORTANT:
Please read completely through the instructions and verify that all listed
parts are present before assembly.
**** INSTALLATION FOR NEW FOREST 870 ELECTRIC FIRE
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 lined 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.
WARNING:
Before enclosing the appliance, test the power in situation in order to ensure
the power to the appliance working properly.
WARNING
The wall where the appliance is to be installed must be capable of long-term
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.
INSTALLATION – STUDWALL
Stud wall installation
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
10.
To install into a stud wall the mounting bracket must be removed from the rear
of the appliance as shown in section 8.2.
Once the frame work has been 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.

FOREST VIEW FUEL BED LAYOUT
Forest View
Taking a small account of the small
crystals, scatter randomly over the frosted base as shown above.
PRO TIP – Use the small crystals to pick up extra light from the fuel bed to
give you the best effect.
Use the contents from the Forest terrain bag and place this in the formation shown above (image 2) towards the front and sides of the frosted base. There should be a single layer to cover this area of the frosted bed and the crystals still visible.
Using the contents from the Husk bag, cover the area on the frosted bed that is still exposed, making sure the crystals are still visible.
Place the logs on top of the base layer created by the crystals, Forest terrain, Husk and slate pieces. Position them as shown above. The logs can be placed in any order, for this look the larger logs are in the center with the remaining logs around them.
IMPORTANT – Place the logs carefully on the fuel bed so you do not make contact with the rear and side glass. Contact with glass may cause damage.
SLATE VIEW FUEL BED LAYOUT
Slate View
Evenly scatter the small crystals over the frosted base as shown in image 1, left. The crystals should be spread out across the whole base and form a layer covering the whole area.
Take the two types of the slate effect pieces and spread these evenly throughout, on top of the bed of crystals.
Place the logs on top of the base layer
created by the crystals and slate pieces. Position them as shown in image 3.
The logs can be placed in any order, we have used the larger ones as centre
