Installation Introduction

Before the product can be installed, consideration will need to be given to routing the power supply to the fire. This will affect the stages of the installation process. We advise a qualified electrician conduct any electrical parts of the installation.

Note: A single wall socket is required for the operation of the fire, please refer to the separate fire instructions for further information.

This product has been designed to be installed into a pre-fabricated, or existing Masonry chimney breast.

Please seek advice from a professional, with reference to the structural integrity of the installation site.

If the product is to be installed into a open chimney or flue, it is important that the chimney/flue is blocked off to prevent any up/down draughts and falling debris which could restrict and alter the airflow of the product.

The product should never be sealed into an opening with the use of silicones or adhesives as this can also alter the airflow and hinder any future servicing of the product.

It is essential to include a lintel at the required height to ensure the appliance does not support the weight of the finished wall.

A pre-assembled MDF framework has been supplied to ensure that the product is installed at the required minimum internal clearances for operation. Before commencing with installation please ensure the Fire Support Brackets have been attached to the MDF framework, these set the minimum depth required for installation- 238mm. As shown in Diagram 1 below.
MDF Framework

Fix the 2 x Fire Support Brackets using 4 x No.8 x15mm Domed-Head Screws into the pre-drilled holes on the MDF framework . 2 x per bracket.
For installation into a pre-fabricated chimney breast follow the instructions on Page 5 then continue onto Page 7.
For installation into a existing Masonry chimney breast follow the instruction on Page 6 then continue onto Page 7.

Before commencing further with the installation please ensure the 2 X Fire Support Brackets have been attached to the MDF Framework, these set the minimum depth required for installation- 238mm. As shown on Page 4.

Decide on the installation height of the fire and construct the studwork around the MDF Framework. The studwork construction in Diagram 2 is for guidance only.

Ensuring the front face of the MDF framework is flush with the studwork, fix in position through the pre-drilled holes in the MDF Framework. 3 x fixing holes in the top and bottom and 1 x fixing hole in each side.

Before commencing further with the installation please ensure the 2 X Fire Support Brackets have been attached to the MDF Framework, these set the minimum depth required for installation- 238mm. As shown on Page 4.

We recommend sealing the MDF Framework using an appropriate sealer, especially if the installation site is damp, however this is down to the discretion of the installer.

Decide on the installation height of the fire and using the pre-assembled MDF Framework for guidance, mark and cut an opening in the brickwork so that the MDF Framework can be fixed flush with the face of the brickwork. As shown in Diagram 4.

Diagram 4 is for guidance only, the final construction will be dependant on how the existing chimney breast is built, if a lintel is required, please seek advice from a professional , with reference to the structural integrity of the installation site.

Ensuring the front face of the MDF Framework is flush with the brickwork, fix in position through the predrilled holes in the MDF Framework. 3 x fixing holes in the top and bottom and 1 x fixing hole in each side. Alternative fixing points maybe be required depending on the material being fixed into.

Pasteboard or Patch up, skim and decorate the chimney breast, before installing the fire. As shown Diagram 5.

Assembly- Fire Conversion Kit Installation

Remove the existing fire side panels from either side of the fire, as shown in Diagram 6. Retain the 10 x No.8 x12mm Domed-Head Screws. 5 x per side. The side panels are no longer required and can be discarded.

If applicable remove the transit brackets from the bottom of the fire, as shown in Diagram 7. Remove the 4 x No.8 x12mm Domed-Head Screws.
The transit brackets and screws are no longer required and can be discarded.

Fix the 4 x Angle Brackets using the previously retained- No.8 x12mm Domed-Head Screws. 2 x per bracket.
Ensure the brackets are fixed in the correct orientation- the small tab on each bracket should be positioned, as shown in Diagrams 8 & 9.

Installation- Positioning of the Fire

Note: Dependant on the model purchased the fire may require a two adult person lift

Note: Before positioning the fire, connect the fire to a power supply

The next step is to position the fire in the opening.

Angle the fire into the opening, as shown in Diagram 10, taking care not to damage the bottom long edge of the finished opening.

Once clear of the opening, position the fire towards the back of the opening, so it is clear of the front edge and the MDF Framework in the opening is exposed, as shown in Diagram 11. This will enable the magnet bracket to be fitted. See page 10

Ensure the product is connected to the power supply before proceeding further.

Installation- Magnet Bracket

With the fire pushed to the rear of the opening.

Install the Magnet Bracket, as shown in Diagram 12, using the supplied 2 x No.8 x15mm Domed-Head Screws, to fix into the pre-drilled holes in the MDF Framework, this will ensure the bracket is fitted centrally in the opening.

Before fixing in position align the tabs on either end of the bracket with the face of the finished wall surface, as shown in Diagram 13.

This will ensure the bracket is installed at the correct distance from the front face for the magnet to engage correctly with the trim in a later procedure.

Installation- Fixing the Fire

Pull the fire forward to the front of the opening and centralise.

Align the tabs on the angle brackets with the face of the finished wall surface, as shown in Diagram 14.

Fix through the slot in each bracket, into the pre-drilled holes in the MDF Framework using 4 x No.8 x15mm Domed-Head Screws, whilst aligning the tabs with the face of the finished wall surface, as shown in Diagram 15.

Finally drill a pilot hole through the locking holes in the Angle Brackets into the MDF Framework behind. Using 4 x No.8 x15mm Domed-Head Screws fix the fire in position, as shown in Diagram 16.
