Manufacturers' Notes
Sika fix or a similar Anchor fix product is used in the assembly of this fireplace. Please read
•
the manufacturers' instructions carefully.
Bear in mind Anchor fix has a pot life, so make sure you have everything ready before you
•
start.
Use OSH approved lifting equipment and avoid at all times working under suspended panels.
•
It is important that this fireplace is not run as an open fire until both the fire bricks and heat
•
shields have been installed.
Allow Anchor fix 48 hrs to cure before running the fire place.
•
Both the fire bricks and concrete modules will have moisture in them as a result of the
•
manufacturing process. This needs to dissipated slowly otherwise they will crack as the
moisture expands and turns to steam. The only way this can be done is with six or eight
small fires where the heat intensity slowly increases. Starting with a fire that brings the fire
bricks up to warm to touch temperature and then progress with the following fires until the
concrete modules are at a warm to touch temperature.
Every care has been taken to ensure that this product has been constructed to the designer's
specifications. Prior to shipping the fire place has been assembled & disassembled and a
comprehensive check of the kit set was completed to ensure that all parts were present.
