Installation method

Built in models
This product has been designed to be installed into a plaster board, 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 to the product.

It is also important to ensure that the product has a minimum internal clearance directly above and below the product of 50mm, this is to ensure that the product can circulate the required airflow for the heater unit.

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

Heating shut-off protection
This protection protects the product against damage.

When the air circulation is impeded, the fire is switched off automatically. This can happen with incorrect installation of the fireplace, or blockages.

To reset the heating function:

• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Allow the product to cool.
• If the device has cooled down sufficiently, remove any blockages and check the installation.

After 10 minutes, the thermostat switch (trip protection) of the heater is reset.

Note:
Both the effect fan and the heating fan produce a soft sound that is associated with normal operation of the stove.

Hollow wall installation method

In all Element4 fireplaces, a free space of 100mm at least 50mm must be maintained immediately above and below the main housing for good air circulation. (Failure to do so may cause problems for the heating and flame function).

Each Element4 fireplace is supplied with one or more wall mounting brackets.

Determine the height at which the finished Element4 fireplace should be positioned in relation to the floor level.

Note:
The minimum distance to the floor is 300 mm

Attach the wall bracket to the wall, making sure that you use the correct fasteners that match the respective wall – hollow or solid.

Hang the Element4 fireplace on the bracket and secure it in place with the wall bracket at the top of the fireplace. Insert the plug of the IEC-compliant power cable into the IEC-compliant socket and ensure that it is firmly pushed.

Note:
Place the device near a suitable socket so that it can be connected to the mains.

It is important that the outlet is located outside the installation location so that the socket is easily accessible and the plug can be disconnected from the stove after installation. After the fire is attached to the wall and connected to the socket, the surround (the chimney) can be placed around it.

Construct the hollow installation space for the electric fire in the desired dimensions. For minimum opening dimensions, see Figure 1 and Table 1.It is important that you take into account the finished front when determining the depth of the frame construction.

It is important that a header/lintel is also placed at the desired height, so that the weight of the wall made will not come to rest on the appliance.

Make the cut in the plasterboard / finishing plate and install the fireplace, making sure that the plaster board edges connect to the inside of the cut in the plate.

CAUTION
In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut- out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

The definite opening dimensions after installation are in the table below
