COMPONENT CHECKLIST:
QUANTITY DESCRIPTION
1 Wall Heater
1 Bag of Decorative Pebbles
1 Instruction Booklet
1 Screw and Wall-Plug Pack (3 x 40mm pozi pan head screws/3 x wall plugs)
SITE REQUIREMENTS:
The appliance is designed for wall mounting only, at a minimum distance of 100mm from the floor or hearth to the bottom edge of the rear
frame. The wall should be relatively flat and not interfere with any of the various vent holes in the back panel. The wall must be structurally
sound and constructed of a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Finished plaster, conventional wallpaper, dry-lined plasterboard
are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as “flock blown vinyl” embossed paper which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat
should be avoided as some discolouration may occur.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined or a timber framed construction wall 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 control barrier and/or structural member of the house frame are not damaged.

APPLIANCE DISASSEMBLY:
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT THIS TIME
Removing the decorative facia
The Appliance is supplied with a decorative facia fitted. This must be removed before the appliance can be wall mounted :
Andalusia models : Simply lift off the frame. To re-fit, ensure the four mounting hooks engage the four corresponding holes on the front of
the appliance as shown in figure 1.
Kavachi models : First, remove the retaining thumbscrews (one on each side of the appliance). Simply lift the frame upwards. Refitting is
the reverse of removal. Ensure the cut-outs in the bottom of the frame support brackets engage the support pins on each side of the appliance.
FIXING THE
APPLIANCE:
Focal Point Fires plc. assumes
absolutely no responsibility for
injuries and damages that may occur
due to improper installation or handling. 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.
Marking Positions: Having selected
the final mounting position for the
appliance, taking into account the site
requirements as detailed above, the
fire can now be fixed to the wall.
There are three fixing positions, two
upper “hanging” positions, and one
lower positions. Refer to Fig 3 for
details. The two upper positions are
located 85mm down from the top
edge of the top frame, and are spaced 350mm apart about the centre line of the appliance. Once
these have been marked the lower fixing position can then be marked. This is 395mm vertically below
the upper fixing positions, on the appliance centre line. See Fig 3. Use a spirit level to ensure that the
upper positions are horizontally aligned.
Wall Fixings: If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity wall or a solid
wall, drill three holes to a depth of 42mm using a 8mm masonry bit. Insert the wall-plugs provided. If
the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or timber framed construction, then special cavity screw fixings will be required, that are not supplied with this product (see figure 4). Insert 2 x 40mm long fixing screws into the upper
two wall-plugs, taking care to leave the screws protruding approximately 6mm from the wall. Now hang the appliance onto these upper
screws through the two keyhole shaped holes in the upper brackets on the back panel of the appliance.
Insert the lower fixing screw into the lower wall plug through the corresponding fixing hole in the lower part of the back panel. Do not tighten fully. Before tightening the wall mounting screws fully, at this stage it is recommended to check the horizontal alignment of the appliance with a spirit level, as small adjustments can still be made if necessary. When this has been checked, tighten all four fixing screws fully.
To access the upper fixing screws insert a screwdriver through the access holes in the front face of the heater casing.

Placement of Pebbles:
Peel off any remaining protective plastic coatings on the front and rear frame, backpanel and any other surfaces.
Unpack the pebbles and arrange them over the fuel bed. The final pebble arrangement can only be done later when the appliance lamps
are switched on. For the best visual effect, do not push the pebbles up against the back panel, leave a gap of approximately 40mm between
the back panel and the pebbles. This allows light to shine up through the cut outs and illuminate the back panel.
OPERATING THE FIRE:
Read all instructions before use
Check that the fan outlet, mounted underneath the opening at the top, is not covered or obstructed in any way, and ensure the power to
the fire is switched on. The appliance is controlled using four switches mounted underneath the opening at the right hand side.
The left hand switch marked (0I), controls the main power to the appliance and switches on the visual light display. This feature can be used
independently of the heating features.
The next switch marked (*) operates the fan blower without heat, and can be used for cool air circulation. However for this feature, the main
power switch (0I), must also be in the “on” position.
The next switch with a “single bar” marked (I) operates the low heat, (1kW), setting.
The switch with “ two single bars” marked (II) operates the high heat, (2kW), setting.
To operate the fire in any of the above modes, the left hand switch marked (OI) must be switched to the “on” position. To operate the fire,
the left switch must be turned on first, followed by the second switch to start the blower, if required. To obtain heat from the appliance, the
I switch must then be operated for LOW heat, followed by the II switch for the HIGH heat setting.
The appliance can be switched off at any time, irrespective of the particular mode selected, by simply switching the left hand switch marked
(OI) to the “off” position. It is also recommended to unplug the power supply cable at the supply outlet when not in use.
SAFETY CUT-OUT SYSTEM:
This appliance has a safety cut-out system fitted which will activate if the air inlets or outlets are obstructed. For safety reasons the fire WILL
NOT switch on again automatically.
NOTE: The visual light effect will remain operational if the cut-out is activated, only the fan heater is prevented from operating.
The following procedure must be carried out before the fire can be operated again:
Unplug the power supply cable at the outlet socket and place all switches to off at the appliance. Leave the fire OFF for a period of not less
than 10 minutes, ensuring any obstructions are removed. Plug in the power supply cable at the outlet socket, and then switch on at the
appliance.
If the appliance fails to operate correctly, repeat the above procedure. If an attempt to switch on is made before the safety cut-out has reset,
the heaters may cut-out for a further period of time. If the sequence has been followed correctly and the heaters still fail to function, check
the power supply cable plug is plugged in to the outlet socket. If this is not the cause, call an electrician.
MAINTENANCE:
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY OUTLET SOCKET BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY MAINTENANCE.
Excluding lamps and fuses, use only genuine spare parts available from your supplier. Replacement lamps must be of the same wattage and
specification as those stated in Section 3.0 Appliance Data.
