Wall-Mount Electric Fireplace
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This fireplace unit must be installed by a qualified, competent installer
.
A. Location
1.
The fireplace unit must not be in contact with any combustible
materials.
2.
The heater, which is located at the base of the appliance, must kept
clear of obstruction and must be a minimum of 15 inches away from
any combustible material.
3.
It is important that the wall on to which the fireplace unit is to be
installed is of sound construction. All fixings must be suitable for
the type of wall, must be secure to the wall and capable of taking the
weight of the fireplace unit.
4.
The fireplace unit must not be installed in an area where there is
restricted air flow around the fireplace unit.
5.
This fireplace is approved for indoor installation (include bathroom)
and is approved for some outdoor installation. The fireplace must be
kept away from any source of damp or moist conditions. Avoid any
close contact with water. For outdoor installation, the fireplace unit
must be located in fully covered areas.
6.
If there is any doubt regarding the suitability of the installation site
contact your supplier.
B. Installation
IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ THROUGH THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE COMMENCING THE INSTALLATION.
1.
Select the position of the fireplace on the wall to which it is to be
mounted. Draw a level horizontal line on the wall at the required
height. This line will correspond to the top of the appliance so it is
important to allow for the extra height of the fireplace front.
2.
Mark the central line of the fireplace box on to the horizontal line
3.
Place the Mounting Plate supplied to the horizontal line and line up
the central “V” cut out with you centre line.
See Figure 1.
4.
Mark out at least four of the fixing holes through the mounting plate
to the wall. It is imperative that the mounting plate is secured firmly
to the wall.
See Figure 1.
5.
If the wall is of a sound masonry construction the fixing holes should
be drilled with an 8 mm masonry drill. Then appropriately sized
screws and raw plugs should be used to secure the fixing plate. At
this point it is important that a firm and secure fixing is achieved. If
this is not so additional fixings will be required, consult a qualified
engineer.
6.
If the fireplace unit is to be installed on a studded wall, the fixing
screws must be located through any of the fixing holes in the fixing
plate where they are inserted directly into the studding. It is
important in this instance that the fixings are evenly distributed
across the fixing plate and the plate must be secure to the wall.
7.
If a firm attachment is not achieved it may be necessary to install
extra support to the studding. It is the most important that the
fixings are firm and solid and that the structure is capable of taking
the load. Plasterboard fixings are not recommended.
8.
The mounting plate has four location studs, one at each corner of
the plate.
See
Figure 1.
9.
Lift up the fire box and place the keyhole slots situated on the back
of the fire
(Figure
2)
to the location studs on the mounting plate. A
gentle downward pressure should be applied. Make sure the all of
the studs have been located into the top section of each keyhole
fixing slot.
(See Figures 3 & 4)
C.

MAINTENANCE and TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
To Change A Light Bulb
Light bulbs need to be replaced when you notice a dark section of the flame or
when clarity and detail of the coal effect disappears.
Remove the locking catch on the side of the brackets and then remove the
face or frame. This is done by lifting the face or frame up and swinging the face
or frame clear of the fire. Care should be taken not to damage the face or
frame. Removal of the face or frame may require two people.
WARNING
Allow at least five minutes for the light bulbs to cool before touching the bulbs
to avoid burning.
On the front of the fireplace there are screws on both sides. These need to be
undone to allow the cover to slide down (
Figure 10
).
Examine the bulbs to determine which one needs replacing. Remove the burnt
bulb and replace with a new long life bulb. Hold the socket whilst unscrewing
the old bulb and whilst screwing in the replacement bulb. (
Figure 11
)
The bulbs are 40 watt screwed base candle bulbs.
Once the bulb has been replaced, replace back the cover, screws and face or
stone frame.
Cleaning the Fireplace
Switch off the power to the fireplace and allow it to cool before cleaning.
Use a soft damp (not wet) cloth.
Household Glass Cleaner can be used on the Fire Glass.
Trouble Shooting Guide
If fireplace is making noise:
1. Switch off the fireplace and unplug cord.
2. Remove face or stone frame from the fireplace.
3. Remove fireplace from wall mounting plate and stand it on a work table.
4. Remove Philips head screws from the bottom of fireplace to access the
flame rod & light bulbs.
5. Plug in fireplace and turn the flame on.
6. Listen for noise with flame on.
7. If the noise is found to be coming from the aluminium strips scratching
against back panel, simply cut the strips shorter with scissors.
8. If the noise is found to be coming from the spin axis rod, it would be that the
rod is not straight. If so, remove rod and straighten it.
Should you have any other questions, please consult your supplier.
