Before using your new heater, it is important that you read and follow the instructions in this Use and Care booklet, even if you feel that you are quite familiar with this appliance. Find a place to keep this booklet handy for future reference. Attention is drawn to section dealing with ‘IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.’
This appliance has been designed to operate from a standard domestic power outlet. It is not intended for industrial or commercial use.

Wall-mount Instructions

This Electric Flame Effect Heater also comes with a wall mounting kit if the preferred option is to wall mount the heater.
The following installation instructions must be adhered to in order to ensure that it is installed and secured safely:

1. Only mount heater horizontally, For installation of the heater, care must be taken not to damage concealed cables.

2. Minimum of 300mm in height from the floor and minimum 1000mm from the ceiling.

3. Domestic power outlet positioned adjacent , to the right hand-side of the heater (In situ) and within heater power cord length(Do not use extension leads to reach power outlet).

4. Wall mount bracket(s) must be secured in to solid substrate ( Brick , concrete etc.) or aligned with timber or metal wall studs,
   DO NOT secure onto just plaster or similar materials that cannot support the weight of the heater. Mounting brackets, screws and wall plugs are included.

5. Ensure that heater is mounted away from any surrounding combustible materials.

6. Ensure to fully read the installation instructions to familiarize yourself with the installation requirements.
   Do not start the heater until it is securely fixed to the wall and minimum distances stated are strictly adhered to.

7. Take care when using tools to drill holes to ensure mounting bracket can be securely fitted and support the weight of the heater( Oversize holes and loose wall plugs may result in appliance becoming detached and cause damage to the appliance or injury).

Wall-mount steps:

1. Although a minimum distance of 300mm from the floor is to be adhered to, for optimum viewing of the fuel bed, 600mm height is recommended. Select a location that is not prone to moisture and is located at least 1m away from combustible materials such as curtain drapes, furniture, bedding, paper, etc. Have two people hold the appliance against the wall to determine the final location.

2. Place unit face down on a soft, non abrasive surface. Remove the bracket from the back of the unit by removing the screws,

3. Mark the top four screws holes (Applicable to solid substrate of Brick concrete etc.) and ensure it is level. Use 8.0mm Masonry drill bit, drill 40 mm deep holes, insert wall plugs and secure bracket with the 4 x 40mm screws provided. For plaster walls with Timber or Steel wall studs ensure to secure bracket to at least 2 wall studs (Additional pilot hole may need to be drilled into bracket to obtain alignment with a minimum of 2 studs). In this instance there is no need to drill holes to insert wall plugs, but can secure bracket with screws directly into studs.
   NOTE: Ensure that the screws that hold the mounting bracket are securely screwed into timber or metal wall studs, secured with plugs just into plaster will not be safe to support the weight of the mounted heater.
   Note: Ensure the bracket is level by using a spirit level whilst marking out the hole positions.

Now mark the position of the 2holes that secures the bottom bracket. Lift heater away from the wall and drill the holes (Solid walls, brick/ concrete). For plaster wall, use plaster wall anchors (Not Supplied).
   

5. Fix the heater to the wall bracket Again with the help of another person (to avoid injury,damage to property or appliance), lift the heater into place and engage the heater with the top wall bracket(Fig A), ensure it is positioned centrally then gently angle heater down against the wall and secure bottom bracket with 2 screws (30mm) against the wall.

6. The flat glass panel can now be placed back into position. Align metal hooks on the glass panel with the correponding slots of the heater enclosure, push into slots and slide down to secure in place. Refit the 2 screws on each side and 2 screws at the front of the heater to secure glass panel into place.
