AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

When using this electrical appliance, basic precautions should be followed to reduce the risk

of fire, electric shock and injury to person, including the following:

• This heater must be used on an AC supply only and the voltage marked on the heater’s

rating label must correspond to the supply voltage.

• DO NOT switch the appliance on until it is properly installed as described in this

manual.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they

have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and

understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and

user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall only switch on/off the appliance

provided that it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position and

they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe

way and understand the hazards involved. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years

shall not plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or perform user maintenance.

• CAUTION: Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns.

Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or

similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• The heater must not be located immediately below a socket-outlet.

• DO NOT use this heater in the immediate surroundings of a bath, a shower or a

swimming pool.

• WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the heater.

• DO NOT use this heater with a programmer, timer, separate remote-control system or

any other device that switches the heater on automatically, since a fire risk exists if the

heater is covered or positioned incorrectly.

• CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal

cutout, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a

timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

• Keep furniture, curtains and other fabric material away from the appliance.

• DO NOT leave the appliance unattended during use.

• From time to time, check the cord for damage. Never use the appliance if the cord or any

part of the appliance shows signs of damage.

• DO NOT run the mains cable under carpets, rugs etc.

This fire is fitted with LED’s (Light Emitting Diode) in place of conventional bulbs. LED’s generate the same light levels as

conventional bulbs, but use a fraction of the energy consumed. LED’s are maintenance free and will not require replacing during

the life of the product.

6.0 SITE REQUIREMENTS

It should be noted that the appliance creates warm convected air currents. These currents move heat from the room

surroundings to, and up the wall surfaces adjacent to the heater.

Installing the heater next to these types of wall coverings or operating the heater where impurities in the air, (such as tobacco

smoke) exist, may slightly discolour wall finishing.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined or timber framed construction then the integrity and ability of the wall to

carry the weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour barrier and/or

structural members of the house frame are not damaged.

If you are unsure of the ability of the wall to carry the weight and/or which type of wall fixing to use, you should take

professional advice and obtain the correct fixings. Alternatively, find a more suitable wall location.

DO NOT

• mount on a ceiling or floor

• recess any part of the appliance into the wall, or run the supply cable under carpets

• site any electrical equipment e.g. plasma screen TV sets etc, on the wall below the appliance.

• site in a position where curtains or drapes could cover the appliance, or other soft materials could cover e.g. below a coat

rack

• site behind an opening door where mechanical impact/damage could occur

• site where the supply cable would become a trip hazard

• sit, stand or forcefully pull on the appliance

• obstruct, cover or force items into the openings

• use the heater to dry clothes

• site/use in an outdoor location(s)

It is important that the following clearances are maintained from the appliance to combustible materials. These clearances are

dependent on the mounting location as defined below:

• The minimum distance from the top of the appliance to a ceiling is 300mm

• The minimum distance from the bottom of the appliance to the floor is 200mm

• The minimum distance to the sides of the appliance is 100mm

• The minimum distance to the front of the appliance is 500mm

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE APP IANCE TO THE

E ECTRICA SUPP Y AT THIS TIME.

Focal Point Fires plc. assumes absolutely no responsibility for injuries and damages

that may occur due to improper installation or handling.

Remove any protective film coatings from the finished/decorative surfaces of the

appliance, if any. After having selected the final mounting position of the appliance

taking into account the integrity of the wall the firebox of the appliance may be

secured to the wall.

To ensure customer safety, be sure to design the installation so that the strength of

both the wall and any wall fixings used are sufficient. The appliance should not be

installed until all wet plastering and/or dry wall sanding and wall painting has been

completed. Do not block the ventilation holes of the appliance. The wall onto

which the appliance is installed must be flat. Install only on a vertical surface. Avoid

sloped surfaces. Installation onto anything other than a vertical wall may result in

fire, damage or injury.

If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity brick

wall, or a solid wall, then the wall plugs and fixing screws provided may be used.

Depending on the condition of the wall it may be necessary to use additional fixings.

In this situation, any additional fixings and wall plugs should be of the same size and

type as the ones provided.

The wall where the appliance is to be

installed must be capable of

long-term support of the total load of

the appliance. Measures should also

be taken to ensure sufficient strength

to withstand the force of

earthquakes, vibration and other

external forces. Plasterboard alone is

not considered to be a structural

material. It is not recommended to

rely on plasterboard fixings alone to

support the weight of the appliance.

WARNING



If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then efforts should be made to fix in

at least two positions vertically, into one of the wooden studs, or supporting wooden members of the wall using two of the

fixing screws provided. If this is not achievable then the wall should be strengthened using appropriate building materials.

ounting Bracket

1. Unpack the unit and confirm that you have all the hardware and required parts.

2. Remove the mounting bracket from the firebox by unscrewing the two screws that secure the mounting bracket to the top

of the firebox, using a phillips screwdriver. As shown above.

3. Find the optimal place to mount your wall-mounted Fire. Consider the proper position relative to your room, placement

of furniture and windows.

4. Hold the mounting bracket up to the wall to verify the correct location and ensure that the mounting bracket is level. Use

a pencil to mark the four mounting holes on the wall at the desired mounting location, using the mounting bracket as a

template.

5. With an electric drill (not included) on its low setting, drill 5/16 inch diameter holes to at least 1½ inch deep on the

marked points. NOTE: If installing the mounting bracket to a wall stud, there is no need to drill the holes in the wood and

no need for the plastic wall anchors. It is recommended to install the mounting bracket to at least one wooden stud.

6. Tap 4 large wall anchors (2) into the pre-drilled holes with a hammer until they are flush with the wall.

7. Secure the mounting bracket (3) to the wall by using four 5 x 50 mm screws (3). As shown.
