COMPONENT CHECKLIST

Quantity        Description
1                      Fire suite
1                     Remote control handset
2                     Wall plugs
2                     Washers
2                     Fixing screws
4                     3x 15mm screws (AA)

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.

Installing the heater next to these types of wall coverings or operating the heater where impurities in the air, (such as tobacco smoke) exist, may slightly discolour wall finishing.
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

• recess any part of the appliance into the wall, or run the supply cable under carpets
• site in a position where curtains or drapes could cover the appliance, or other soft materials could cover e.g. below a coat rack
• site behind an opening door where mechanical impact/damage could occur
• site where the supply cable would become a trip hazard
• sit, stand or forcefully pull on the appliance
• obstruct, cover or force items into the openings
• use the heater to dry clothes
• site/use in an outdoor location(s)

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

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 below:

• 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.

UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE

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.

Before starting the installation of this fireplace, please read the following:

1. 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.
2. When lifting the electric suite, always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back. Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
3. Avoid upper body / top heavy bending. Always bend from the knees rather than the waist. Do not lean forward or sideways while handling the heater.
4. Always grip the heater with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
5. Always keep the heater as close to the body as possible. This will minimize the cantilever action.
6.  Use gloves to provide additional grip.
7. Unpack the package and lift the product 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.

ASSEMBLY

With the fireplace in position in the suite secure the two together with 4x 3x12mm screws (AA), screwed in from behind.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT THIS TIME.

Focal Point Fires Ltd. 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 suite 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. The appliance should not be installed until all wet plastering and/or dry wall sanding and wall painting has been completed. Do not block the ventilation holes of the appliance. The wall onto which the appliance 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 is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity brick wall, or a solid wall, then the wall plugs and fixing screws provided may be used. Depending on the condition of the wall it may be necessary to use additional fixings. In this situation, any additional fixings and wall plugs should be of the same size and type as the ones provided.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then efforts should be made to fix one position vertically, into one of the 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.

Installing the wall plugs into the wall.

1. Offer the appliance up to the wall in it’s desired location. Draw a mark where you wish to connect the straps in to the wall. Remove the appliance from the position and drill a hole (5.5mm diameter, 40mm deep) each side.

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.
Inserting the wall plugs into the wall.
Gently hammer the wall plugs into position.

Installing the appliance to the wall.
Using a screw driver screw through the washers and the fixing straps and into the wall plugs you have just installed into the wall. Securing the appliance into position.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Fire is not switching on| Ensure mains switch is on Replace the fuse in the plug
---|---

Logs glow but flame effect does not work

| Check to see if the spinning motor is working. If not contact Focal Point Fires

Heater doesn’t work, but Power and Heater switches / buttons are in the “ON” position

| Turn all switches / buttons to the “OFF” position and unplug the unit from the wall outlet for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes plug the unit back into wall outlet, and operate as normally.

Fire seems noisy| There is a level of noise when the flame effect is in use, caused by a motor that helps generate the effect. This noise will be heard when there is no other background noise.

There is a higher level of noise associated with the heater motor; this is due to the air flow required when heat has been selected.

Remote is not operating| Check or replace batteries.

SERVICING

There are no internal user serviceable parts.
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.
