INSTALLATION

• After removing the packaging very carefully (be very careful when removing the glass), check the integrity of the heater; if you are unsure, do not use it and ask for qualified professional help. The packing materials (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) must be kept out the reach of children because they are potential sources of danger. If the glass is protected with adhesive film, this must be removed. All packaging elements must be disposed of according to their raw material (see the symbol stamped on each one) and according to the provisions of their municipality. The bag containing the set with brackets and fixing screws or the remote control, which is unmarked due to its small size, is made of polyethylene; therefore you have to follow the procedures for the disposal of this type of plastic.
• Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage shown on the data plate matches that of your electricity, and that the electric plug is grounded. In the event of incompatibility between the electric outlet and the plug of the heater, have the outlet replaced with another more suitable type by professionally qualified personnel, who will make sure that the section of the wires of the outlet is appropriate for the absorbed power of the heater (10A). In general, the use of adapters or extension cords is not recommended; if their use is indispensable, they must conform to existing safety standards and their current capacity (amperes) must not be less that the maximum of the heater.
• The power socket must be easy to reach so the plug can be removed quickly in case of emergency.
• Position the appliance far from other sources of heat, inflammable materials (curtains, carpets, etc.), inflammable gases or explosive materials (spray cans) and from materials that can deform on exposure to heat.
• Do not use this heater in the immediate surroundings of a bath, a shower or a swimming pool. (to avoid drops of water falling on the heater or the heater falling in the water), or in places where it could be subject to shocks; the appliance should not be placed under or near windows.
• The appliance should only be used fastened to a wall with a flat surface free of rough spots, stable and resistant to heat.
• The installation kit consists of: – no. 1 metal bracket, no. 6 anchors, no. 6 (40×4 mm) screws, no. 1 flange and no. 2 (10×4 mm) screws. We recommend that you put all the installation parts in a container in a safe place, to avoid losing parts, but also to make sure that children do not play with small parts. The electric fireplace should only be mounted using the mounting kit supplied.
• The wall to which the appliance is fastened must be made of bricks and/or heat-resistant material (not wood or easily-overheatable synthetic material); first check to see if pipes (water, gas, etc.) or electrical cables are embedded in the area you will use for mounting the brackets; also follow these directions for installation (see figure).
• The “minimum” free space to be respected in the installation (referring to the glass): 600 mm from the floor, 1000 mm from the ceiling and 500 mm from the sides.
• Fasten the bracket to the wall horizontally (the projection must be at the top), drill no. 5 holes in the wall (before drilling holes is a good idea to measure the centre-to-centre distance between the holes), insert the anchors and fasten the bracket with the screws provided. After fastening, make sure that the bracket is secure enough to support the weight of the fireplace.
• Fasten the flange to the bottom (Figure 3) of the chimney using the two screws provided.
• Hang the appliance on the bracket, hooking the projection of the bracket with the one on the back of the structure.
• Make sure that the bracket and appliance are centred on the wall and mark 2 holes for fastening the flange; remove the structure, drill 2 holes, insert the anchors, hook the structure to the bracket and tighten the flange to the wall with the screws supplied.
• Your fireplace can be set-up with either stones or logs (resin) by placing them inside the structure (see figure).
• To position the front glass on the structure (it is good idea to have someone help you), align and match the 4 slots of the glass with the 4 side hooks of the structure. After assembly, make sure that the glass is correctly positioned and hooked to the frame, to prevent falling; in case of doubt, consult a qualified professional.
• Make sure the cord is positioned correctly and that it is not touching hot parts or sharp edges, or wrapped around the appliance or coiled around itself and will not get caught, in order to avoid the appliance falling. Make sure that no one can trip, to avoid accidental falls or personal injury. Also check that the cord is not under carpets.
