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 drywall 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 a situation in order to ensure the power to the appliance working properly.

Check regularly for the 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 – STUDWELL

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 framework 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 ladding/plasterboard is installed.

The limited 2 years warranty period for products also applies to any implied warranties that may exist under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to the purchaser.
Any part that is provided under the warranty to repair any defect will continue to be covered under the existing warranty which commenced from the original purchase date. For the avoidance of doubt, the guarantee period will not be extended even if we repair or replace a component.

What this limited warranty does not cover
This limited warranty does not apply to products that have been repaired (except by its authorized service representatives) or otherwise altered. This limited warranty does further not apply to defects resulting from misuse, abuse, accident, neglect, incorrect installation, improper maintenance or handling, or operation with an incorrect power source.

Waste electrical appliances should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or retailer for recycling advice.

What British Fires and its dealers and service agents are also not responsible for:
In no event will British Fires or its Directors, Officers, or agents, be liable to the purchaser or any third party. Whether in contract, in tort, or on any other basis, for any indirect, special, punitive, exemplar, consequential, or incidental loss, cost, or damage arising out of or in connection with the sale, maintenance, use or inability to use the product, even  f British Fires or its Directors, Officers, or Agents have been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs or damages, or if such losses, costs, or damages are foreseeable. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to the purchaser.

How State and Provincial law apply

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Sale of Goods shall not apply to this limited warranty or the sale of products covered by this limited warranty.
