Tools Required
A screwdriver a spirit level and drill will be needed.
Locating the Appliance
Your new electric fireplace may be installed virtually anywhere in your home. However, when choosing a location ensure that the general instructions are followed.
5.1 For best results, install out of direct sunlight.
5.2 If installing in an existing fireplace and chimney always block the chimney with fibreglass insulation or similar, to prevent it sucking air away through the appliance. Failure to do this may cause poor performance and loss of heat or make the appliance cut out.
5.3 The appliance should be connected to an earthed electrical outlet and it must be easily accessible to allow disconnection.
The wires in the mains cable of this appliance are colored in accordance with the following code: Blue = Neutral. Brown = Live. Green/yellow = earth.

PREPARATION BEFORE INSTALLATION

The appliance can be installed in 3 different arrangements, the intended arrangement should be considered before starting the installation. They are as follows :

• Single front aspect (This is where the appliance is installed so that only the front window is visible)
• Duel aspect (this is where the appliance is installed so that the front and one of the side windows are visible)
• Triple aspect (this is where the appliance is installed so that the front and both side windows are visible)
  5.4 When you unpack the appliance, you will note the angle trimming edges are fastened at each side over the side plates. Firstly, they need to be removed and if you are installing as a duel or triple aspect then the appropriate side plate(s) should also be removed. Replace the angle trimming edges to any side you have removed the side panel. This will facilitate a finishing edge for plasterboard or panelling.

5.5 The main electric connection is to the rear of the appliance is via a kettle plug, it is very important that the plug is fully located in the socket and the plastic retention clip that is provided is fitted and securely with the 1 screw provided. We further recommend that the power is turned on and the appliance is operated to check function and prove the power connection is sound.

5.6 If you intend to use mood lights, then you need to prepare the appliance before fixing into the feature. Prepare as follows: (Note Mood lights are an optional
extra
6 a Remove the two ST4×10 screws and the metal plate on the right lower side. Pull out the cable inside, make the connections with the components, in accordance to the mood light instructions
