INSTALLER AND OWNER GUIDE
If fitting the heater onto a decorative hearth surface such as marble or tile it is advisable
to protect the hearth surface. Do not drag the heater across the surface of the hearth as
this may scratch the hearth surface.
Method A - Screw fixing
Note - If fixing to marble it is recommended that Method B - 'Wire fixing' is used.
Drilling marble without the correct tools and experience may result in the marble
cracking.
1. Place the heater into the fireplace or surround
opening. Make sure that the heater is in the middle of
the surround or fireplace.
2. There are two slotted holes in the top of the heater
(See figure 3). Mark through the slotted holes so that
their position is clear when the heater is removed.
3. Remove the heater
4. Drill an appropriate size hole in each of the marked
positions. Insert wall plugs into the drilled holes.
5. Place the heater so that the slotted holes are in line
with the wall plugs in the fixing surface.
6. Screw and secure the heater with two woodscrews
(See figure 2).
Method B - Wire Fix
This method of fixing needs a fireplace opening and is recommended when fixing the
heater to a marble surround or where the wall or brickwork is in poor condition.
1. The fixing kit supplied with the heater
includes a steel wire and eyescrew (See
figure 2). These can be used to secure the
heater to the back of a fireplace opening.
2. Mark the eyescrew position on the centre
line at the back of the fireplace opening and
at a height of 533-560mm (21 inches - 22
inches) (See figure 4).
3. Drill an appropriate size hole in the
marked position.
4. Insert a wall plug into the drilled hole.
5. Screw the eyescrew into the wall plug.
6. Position the heater in front of the
fireplace opening.
7. At the top of the heater there are four
