Installation Instructions

DO NOT TWIST, FORCE OR SQUEEZE THE FIRE DURING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS.

The height at which you may wish to fix the fire in the wall is up to you, though we recommend anywhere

from 350-450mm from the floor to the bottom of the fire opening (not the bottom of the fire).

Using the OnmiGlide 900 as a Hang on the Wall.

• The fixing rail should be fixed to the wall using the 4 x 60mm screws and rawl plugs with the hooks
facing upward and outwards.

• At the back of the case (bottom/centre) is a fold down tag. Fold this down to expose it under the fire.

• Once the rail is fixed in place, lift and hook the fire onto the rail.

• Mark off through the hole in the fold down tag. Remove fire and drill hole.

• Hang the fire back on the wall and secure in place using the 35mm screw and rawl plug. This will

prevent the fire from being lifted off the hooks on the fixing rail.

Using in a Flamerite suite, chimney breast, fireplace or an internal studwork and plaster board wall.

Always ensure the fire is well supported in a structure when mounting above the floor. A header or Lintel

should be fitted at the required height to ensure the appliance does not support the weight of the finished

wall or chimney breast.

The minimum opening size to inset your fire

• There must be enough clearance for the fire to comfortably fit into the hole. DO NOT SQUEEZE INTO
THE OPENING this may deform the case and stop the glass from moving correctly.

• Prior to sealing/plastering the wall, the must be secured into place using the fixings provided.

• If not already done so fitting a Gotham into a Flamerite Suite, this will be done from the back.

• If not already done so fitting an OnmiGlide into a Flamerite Suite, this will be done from the front.
