WALL MOUNTING
WARNING!
DO NOT CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
Argoclima S.p.A. accepts no responsibility for any injury or damage that may result from improperly
performed installation / handling.
Finding the best place to mount the fireplace, considering the positioning of furniture and windows and compliance with
suggested distances.
To ensure safety, check that the wall and the fixing elements have the load capacity to support the weight of the
fireplace. The appliance should not be installed until drywall plastering and / or sanding and painting of walls have been
completed.
The wall where the appliance is to be mounted must be capable of long-term support of the total appliance load
and have sufficient strength to withstand phenomena such as earthquakes, vibrations, and other external
events. Plasterboard is not considered a structural material; we therefore recommend that you do not rely on
plasterboard fastenings to support the weight of the appliance.
Do not obstruct the appliance ventilation holes. The wall on which the appliance is mounted must be flat. Mount only on a
vertical surface. Avoid slanted surfaces. Mounting on anything other than a vertical wall may result in fire, damage or
injury.
Depending on the conditions of the wall, you may need to use extra fastening hardware in addition to that supplied. In
this case, the additional hardware and plugs must be of the same size and type as those supplied.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WALL MOUNTING

INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE
2006/66/EC
Replace batteries when they are depleted. At the end of their life, batteries must be disposed of separately from unsorted
waste. They must be taken to designated recycling centres or returned to a retailer providing this service. Separate
disposal of batteries prevents potential negative effects on the environment and human health due to inadequate
disposal, and also allows for recovering and recycling their constituent materials, resulting in significant savings in terms
of energy and resources. The separate disposal obligation is underlined by the crossed-out dustbin symbol appearing on
the battery. Illegal disposal of the product by the user shall result in administrative sanctions being applied as per current
regulations.
OVERHEATING SAFETY DEVICE
In case of overheating, the safety system of the appliance automatically disables the heating elements and the motor, thus
shutting down the operation of the fireplace.
In this case:
remove the cause of the overheating (e.g. obstacles on the air intake/outlet grilles, dust deposits in the appliance, etc.);
allow the unit to cool for 15/20 minutes;
turn on the fireplace again and ensure it operates correctly.
If the procedure was followed properly and the unit still fails to operate, check the fuse in the wall socket. If this is not the
cause, contact a service centre.
