SITE REQUIREMENT

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 clothe
• site/use in an outdoor location(s)

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:

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES

• 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 ba ck straight. Bend your legs and not your back. Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
3. Avoid upper body I 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 TH ROUGH THE INSTRUCTIONS AND VERIFY THAT ALL LISTED PARTS ARE PRESENT BEFORE ASSEMBL Y

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. 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 appliance.

Ensure the floor and wall are flat before installation.

1. Attach a securing bracket to the back of each edge of the surround as shown using the 3 x 16mm screws provided.
   Pre-drill the holes, using a 2mm diameter drill bit to prevent the wood from splitting. Repeat this for the other side of the appliance, so that you have I bracket on the left and I on the right of the appliance.

2. Carefully place the appliance against the wall and mark the holes of the brackets on either side
   
   Check the wall does not have any wiring or pipe work behind where you intend to drill. Consult a qualified person if you are not sure.

3. Drill a 6mm hole in the two marked positions approximately 35mm deep into the wall

4.  Insert the wall plugs into the wall.
   Note: If fitting the product to plaster board with a cavity behind then appropriate wall fixings (not supplied) will be required. If in doubt, please seek advice from a suitably qualified tradesman.

5. Route the supply cord to exit the same side of the suite where the mains socket outlet is located. Check the supply cord is not trapped under the suite such that it may cause it to be damaged.

6. Then secure the suite with the 4 x 30mm screws (supplied).
