Stand Assembly (See Fig. 6):
For floor use attach the two feet assemblies (I)
to the fireplace heater using the 4 thumb screws
(O) provided. Gently lay the main housing
(D) horizontally down without the glass panel
attached. Line up each feet assembly using
the metal guides and then screw in two thumb
screws (O) into the corresponding holes. Place
unit upright, add the pebbles (B) and then attach
the glass panel by lining up the glass panel metal
guides with the main housing panel pins. For wall
mounting see Wall Mount Installation below.
Wall Mount Installation (See Fig. 4 & 5):
This product weighs 16.3 kg. Do not install alone.
The following procedure is for a dry wall
installation using the provided hardware.
Note: If installing on a different type of wall (i.e
cavity wall) or using different hardware please
consult a professional for advice on the correct
way to install the unit.
IMPORTANT: Before drilling into any wall
ensure no electrical cables are present in the
area. Make sure you allow at least 1m of space
on all four sides of unit.
1. Turn unit off and disconnect the unit if in use.
2. Remove front glass and pebbles if installed.
3. Remove feet assemblies from main housing
by unscrewing the thumb screws.
4. Decide on the position where the electric
fireplace will hang on the wall. REMEMBER
not to position directly above the power
socket and at least 1m away from any
objects on all sides (reference Fig. 5).
5. Mark on the wall the points between the
centre of the holes on the fixed unit rear
mounting brackets (E) making sure the
points line up and are level (reference Fig. 4)
6. Drill into the wall using an 8mm drill bit two
holes on the marked points so that you can
fit the appropriate wall plugs.
7. Screw in two 4 x 35mm screws into the wall
plugs, leaving 10mm of the screws out of the
wall.
8. Hang the main body of the unit onto the
two exposed screws by lining up the rear
mounting brackets' holes.
9. Place the securing bottom bracket (P)
into the rear of the unit and then use one
4x35mm screw to secure the bracket and
unit to the main wall.
10. Add pebbles to the unit, then place the glass
panel onto the unit by lining up the glass
panel guides with the main housing pins
(located on the side of the housing) and
make sure the unit is secure.
11. Unit is now ready to be turned on and operated.
