REQUIRED TOOLS

WHAT’S IN THE BOX…

BEFORE YOU START…

PLUG SOCKETS
All fires must have an accessible plug. Do not fit a fire above a socket. Building regulations require the socket to be located at the side of the unit. It is preferable to fit the fire to a 13A 110 VOLT fused spur for safety. This ensures it has it’s own supply and will not overload current installations.
IMPORTANT
Please speak with a qualified expert before undertaking any work, and if required, ask them to carry out the installation for you.

WALL FIXINGS
If fixing the fire to a wall, please ensure suitable fixings are used for the material the fire is being fixed to.
Often the wall is not completely flat and the floor uneven. When hanging the fire be sure to take this into account to ensure a good solid fit that supports the fire safely.
Your retailer may offer a fitting service, or alternatively you can find a builder to fit the fire for you.

BLANKING PLATE INSTALLATION

SIDE PANEL INSTALLATION
If you have purchased a 1 or 2 sided E-FX Fire, you will need to install the blanking plates BEFORE fitting the fire or installing into a chimney breast.
If fitting as a 1 or 2 sided corner fire, blanking panels will need to be fitted.
Each blanking panel consists of two parts, fitted directly over the side glass. If you need to fit the blanking panel(s) follow the instructions and images below. The blanking plates come pre-assembled with a label showing which direction to fit them.

Remove the screws from the blanking plates.
Fix into position by using the same four black screws provided, two on the top and bottom but make sure the inner panel and the glass have free movement to slide forwards and backwards. There are slots in the case to allow for any tolerance during fitting.

Once the blanking plate is screwed in, test that the side glass can still move freely.
Finally, pull the inner part of the blanking plate forward so it is flush with the side glass inside the fire.

FLAT WALL INSTALLATION

FITTING YOUR E-FX FIRE ONTO A WALL OR INTO A STRUCTURE…
If purchased as a fire only or as a standard wall mount suite, the height at which you may wish to fix the fire in, or on the wall, is up to you. Be sure to take account of local building regulations, and if not sure, always consult a professional.
When purchased as part of a E-FX Media Wall, refer to those instructions. If purchased with a Suite & Plinth or Contemporary legs, the height you will need to fit the top of the lower fire bracket to the floor is in the table on the next page.  Make sure you allow tolerance for any carpets or deviation in the floor or wall level. All floor standing suites have levelling feet that should be used to level the fire in the suite before final fitting. These can be used to allow for any tolerance created by the carpet.

Using a tape measure and level, mark the required height on the wall using the dimensions provided in the table above. The height is measured from the top of the bracket to the floor, as shown below. Mark where the center of the rail is.
Drill the holes with a 10mm drill bit and fit the wall plugs. Using the screws, secure the bracket to the wall.

Remove the top rail using a screwdriver and put the screws to one side. You will need them later. Using a tape measure, measure from the TOP of the BOTTOM BRACKET, to the BOTTOM of the TOP BRACKET, as shown below, aligning the centerline with the cutout in the center of the top bracket.

Drill the holes with a 10mm (3/8”) drill bit and fit the wall plugs. Using the screws, secure the bracket to the wall.
Next, using help if required, lift the fire onto the bottom bracket and push firmly against both brackets. Use a drill or screwdriver to fix the fire to the wall using the same screws that came with the bracket.

Using the screws and washers removed from the bottom rail, screw the bracket to the fire to ensure it is fully secured.
Finally, if using the power lead, on the underside of the fire, there is a clip to secure the cable in place for safety. Unscrew this clip and place it around the cord before plugging the fire in securely. When you have plugged the fire in, screw this clip back in place, ensuring everything is secure, with NO excess strain on the cable.

HARDWIRE INSTALLATION

WARNING!
Before any wiring work is undertaken, make sure the power for the socket has been turned off at the fuse box and check that the power is off. Make sure the unit is disconnected from any power source. Ensure proper safety precautions are taken before attempting any work.
This should only be carried out by a competent person who has the knowledge to complete the task. If you have a hardwire ready fire, you will need to wire the fire into a 13A SWITCHED FUSED SPUR.
THE SOCKET CANNOT BE LOCATED BELOW
THE FIRE. It must be located to the side of the fire.
The fire should be fitted in the correct position to the wall before hard- wiring is completed, so minimal cable is exposed.
When the fire is fitted you can hardware the fire as per the following instructions. Ensure that the fused spur socket is located in the correct position so that it avoids any interference with any suites or woodwork.
If access is required to  the fused spur, it is advised that the cable is hidden in the wall/cavity so there is no visible cable between the fire and the fused spur. Bring the cable out as close to you can as the fire, ensuring it will not be in the way of any woodwork,

1. Fit the 13 Amp fused spur socket, leaving enough power cable to get to the fire, leaving plenty to trim back.

2. You will need to remove the fuel bed from the fire to hardwire the appliance. To do this, you will need to remove the 2 screws located at either side of the fire.
   If you have a E-FX Lite fire, you will remove the log set, and the lighting panel  found under the logs.
   IMPORTANT
   Be careful and disconnect the fuel bed from the fire using the connecting cable found under the fuel bed.

3. Disconnect the current power bracket, found on the right inside the fire. Remove the terminals from the power inlet and unscrew the bracket from the fire.

4. Fit the new hardwire bracket, found in the accessory pack by screwing it to the fire where the old bracket was removed.
   IMPORTANT
   Leave the earthing cable attached to the new bracket.

5. To connect the fire to the mains supply, feed the cable through the rubber grommet found on the new bracket.
   Trim the power supply cables leaving 13mm of bare cable exposed to connect the fire to.

6. Now trim the fire power cables by removing the terminals and leave 13mm of cable exposed to connect the mains supply. The Neutral gray cable is a twin cable.

7. In the hardwire pack, there are 3 clear cable connectors. Place the connectors on the end of 3 cables from the mains cable, by lifting the orange leavers and inserting the wire into one side of the connector, ensuring there is no bare cable showing.

8. Now the mains cables are connected, connect the fire by inserted the trimmed cables into the corresponding connector. The neutral is a double cable, and both should go into the same side of the connector, pictured below.
   Make sure all the connectors are secure and do not come loose. Make sure you connect the earth cable from the mains, to the earth cable fitted to the new hardwire bracket.

9. Before reinstalling the fuel bed, remove the cable clip from the hardwire bracket and use it to secure the mains cable in place. This will ensure that nothing can be disconnected if the cable is accidentally pulled, so make sure its on securely.

10. Finally, now everything is connected and secure, reconnect the fuel bed cable and screw the fuel bed back into position.

REAR SCREEN OPTIONS

STANDARD E-FX
As standard one of the two rear screens in the E-FX fire has a reflective coating to mirror the log effect.
When the fire is on, the flame simulates a 3 dimensional burn between the actual log effect and the reflection generated by the coating. If your preference is non-reflective, the glass with the reflective coating can be removed leaving only  the projection screen in place. This is for E-FX fire only.
WARNING
Before any maintenance is undertaken, always disconnect the fire from the mains power supply.
NON REFLECTIVE SCREEN OPTION

1. To remove the reflective rear glass, remove the fuel bed by removing the two screws at either side of the fuel bed. Gently lift the right side, you will need to disconnect a cable from the fuel bed to the circuit board below the connector  marked “A” on the top of the fuel bed. Once this is done, you may now carefully remove the fuel bed.
2. Now remove the rear glass, leaving the projection screen in place.
   You can then reconnect the fuel bed and screw it back into place.

E-FX LITE
NON REFLECTIVE SCREEN OPTION

1. For E-FX Lite Fires, you can make the screen non reflective by removing the fuel bed and flipping the rear screen.
   Once the screen has been flipped, refit the screen and fuel bed, making sure to reconnect it before screwing it back in.

FRONT GLASS INSTALLATION

1. First remove the decorative rail from the top front lip of the fire. It is held on with using magnets, so it will just pull off.

2. Next, push the side glass back to the rear of the case. This will give you room to fit the front glass in the next steps.
   TIP
   If you have a Standard E-FX Fire, make sure you set up the fuel bed and logs before completing this section

3. You will notice a long gap on the underside of the opening in front of the heater grills. Make sure the magnets on the glass are facing you.

4. At an angle, push the glass up into this void, then straighten making sure the bottom of the glass clears the lower edge of the fire opening.

5. Carefully lower into the large channel that runs across the front avoiding the dampers. Finally pull the side glass forwards again so everything is flush.

6. Fit the glass handle by using an allen key to adjust the screw, and then slide the handle onto the glass from the right side. Make sure it is aligned with the cutout on the trim.

7. Fit the glass handle by using an allen key to adjust the screw, and then slide the handle onto the glass from the right side. Make sure it is aligned with the cutout on the trim.
   TIP
   Make sure all the glass is clean cleaning it with a non abrasive cloth before pulling the side glass forward. You want the best view possible from your fire
