BEFORE YOU START…

PLUG SOCKETS & WALL CONSTRUCTION

All fires must have an accessible plug. Do not fit a fire above a socket. Building regulations require the socket to be located at the side of the unit. It is preferable to fit the fire to a grounded outlet for safety. This makes sure it will not overload current installations and the power can be turned off when required.

IMPORTANT
Please speak with a qualified expert before undertaking any work and if required ask them to carry out the installation for you. Due to the nature of this product precautions to fireproof the wall should be taken according to local legislations. Make sure airflow is allowed around the fire by leaving at least 5mm of room around all sides of the fire.

The cord has a plug as shown in Figure A. An adapter shown at B is available for connecting three-blade grounding type plugs in two slot receptacles. The grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.

FLAT WALL INSTALLATION

01
Start by building the framework for the wall. The sizes are listed in a the table below for your fire. We recommend installing the grounded outlet at this stage in the position show below so power to the fire is easily accessible. The can choose the height your fire is fitted the wall, but take any local building regulations into account.

02
Now the framework and sockets are installed you can fix your fire to the frame. Be sure you plug anything in before you start to add any panel work. Attach the fire to the framework using the correct fixings. If you are fixing to a timber frame, use the gold 2″ screws that come in the fixing pack, found in the accessory pack. Be sure to use suitable fixings for the material you are fixing to.

03
Now the fire is installed you can attach the panels the wall. Make sure everything is working before you do this step so that any issues can be sorted before plastering or any finishing takes place. The height from the floor will depend on the install height. See the below table for cut-outs for the front panel. Be sure to double check all dimensions against the actual fire to get the most accurate cut-out you can.

04
Screw the panelling to the framework and make sure everything lines up and is working. We reccomend using 15-18mm or 9/16″ – 11/16″ finishing boards. This is so you can apply any finishes such as plaster coatings or decorative panelling.

REAR SCREEN OPTIONS

E-FX FIRES

As standard one of the two rear screens in the E-FX fire has a reflective coating to mirror the log effect. When the fi re is on the fl ame simulates a three-dimensional burn between the log eff ect and the refl ection generated by the coating. If your preference is non-reflective, the glass with the reflective coating can be removed leaving only the projection screen in place.

WARNING
Before any maintenance is undertaken always disconnect the fire from the main power supply.

NON REFLECTIVE SCREEN OPTION

01
To remove the reflective rear glasstake out the fuel bed by removing the two screws at either side. Gently lift the right side. You will need to disconnect a cable from the fuel bed to the circuit board below the connector marked “A” on the top of the fuel bed. Once this is done you may now carefully remove the fuel bed.

02
Using the glass suction cup provided, remove the rear glass. Leave the projection screen in place. You can then reconnect the fuelbed and screw it back into place.

HARD-WIRE INSTALLATION

WARNING!
Before any wiring work is undertaken make sure the power for the socket has been turned off at the fuse box and check that the power is off. Make sure the unit is disconnected from any power source. Ensure proper safety precautions are taken before attempting any work.

This should only be carried out by a competent person who has the knowledge to complete the task. If you have a hard-wire ready fire you will need to wire the fire into a SWITCHED GROUNDED OUTLET.

THE SOCKET CANNOT BE LOCATED BELOW THE FIRE. It must be located to the side of the fire. The fire should be fitted in the correct position to the wall before hard-wiring is completed, so minimal cable is exposed.

When the fire is fitted you can hardware the fire as per the following instructions. Ensure that the grounded outlet socket is located in the correct position so that it avoids any interference with any suites or woodwork.

If access is required to the grounded outlet, it is advised that the cable is hidden in the wall/ cavity so there is no visible cable between the fire and the grounded outlet.

Bring the cable out as close to you can as the fire, ensuring it will not be in the way of any woodwork, suites, or walls being built.

01
Fit the grounded outlet socket leaving enough power cable to get to the fire. Leave plenty of wire to trim back.

TIP
Make sure that you disconnect the fuel bed when accessing the fire!

02
You will need to remove the fuel bed from the fire to hard-wire the appliance. To do this you will need to remove the 2 screws located at either side of the fire.

IMPORTANT
Be careful and disconnect the fuel bed from the fire using the connecting cable found under the fuel bed.

03
Disconnect the current power bracket found on the right inside the fire. Remove the terminals from the power inlet and unscrew the bracket from the fire.
04
Fit the new hard-wire bracket found in the accessory pack by screwing it to the fire where the old bracket was removed.

IMPORTANT
Leave the grounding cable attached to the new bracket.
05
To connect the fire to the main supply, feed the cable through the rubber grommet found on the new bracket. Trim the power supply cables leaving 13mm (1/2″) of bare cable exposed to connect the fire.

06
Now trim the fire power cables by removing the terminals and leave 13mm (1/2″) of cable exposed to connect the electric supply. The Neutral gray cable is a twin cable.

07
In the hard-wire pack, there are 3 cable connectors. Place the connectors on the end of 3 cables from the main cable by lifting the orange leavers and inserting the wire into one side of the connector, making sure there is no bare cable exposed.

TIP
Strip back to 13mm of exposed cable (1/2″)

08
Now the main cables are connected connect the fire by inserting the trimmed cables into the corresponding connector. The neutral is a double cable and both should go into the same side of the connector, pictured below.

Make sure this is properly connected. Make sure all the connectors are secure and do not come loose. Connect the ground cable from the main, to the ground cable from the fire.

1. LIVE FROM MAIN

2. ORANGE LIVE FROM FIRE

3. GROUND FROM MAIN

4. GROUND FROM FIRE

5. DOUBLE NEUTRAL FROM FIRE

6. NEUTRAL FROM MAIN

09
Before reinstalling the fuel bed, remove the cable clip from the hard-wire bracket and use it to secure the electrical cable in place making sure that nothing can be disconnected if the cable is accidentally pulled.

10
Finally, now everything is connected and secure, reconnect the fuel bed cable and screw the fuel bed back into position.

FRONT GLASS INSTALLATION

01
To Install the front glass, first clean the glass with a soft clean cloth and make sure it is free from dust and residue.

Using the glass suction cup provided, lift the front glass into position, making sure the bottom edge sits between the fuelbed and front lip.

02
Push the glass back and using a screwdriver, remove the cover plate from the inside top right of the fire. The hole it reveals will allow you to fit the glass handle.

03
Using the glass suction cup, pull the glass forward slightly so you can fit the glass handle. You will need to slide the glass handle up into the hole, pulling the glass into position so it can slide down onto the glass.

TIP
To prevent the handle from being loose, adjust the glass handle screw using a Hex Key before fitting it to the glass. The glass is 4mm thick.

04
Now the glass handle has been fitted screw the cover plate back into position and give the glass a final polish.
TIP
If your glass is not sitting properly, check the bottom channel for debris and make sure it is clean and free to any dirt.
