SITE RREQUIREMENTS
The appliances are designed to be wall mounted via the brackets on the rear panel with the fixings
provided. The wall should be relatively flat and not interfere with any of the ventilation slots in the rear
panel.
The wall must be structurally sound and of a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Finished
plaster, conventional wallpaper, dry-lined plaster board are examples of suitable materials. Materials
such as “flock blown vinyl”, embossed paper and cloth wall coverings which are sensitive to even
small amounts of heat should be avoided, as some discolouration may occur.
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.
DDOO NNOOTT
-
mount on a ceiling or floor.
-
recess any part of the appliance into the wall.
-
site any electrical equipment e.g. plasma screen TV sets etc,
on the wall above the appliance.
-
site in a position where curtains or drapes could cover the appliance.
-

FIXING TTHE AAPPLIANCE
A) MMarking PPositions:
Having selected the final mounting position for the appliance, taking into account the site requirements as
detailed in section 4, the heater can now be fixed to the wall.
There are three fixing positions, two upper “hanging” positions”, and one lower position on the backpanel located behind the fuel bed. Refer to Fig 4 for details.
A template is provided to aid location of fixings. Use a spirit level to ensure that the template is level. This ensures
that both upper and lower fixing positions are horizontally aligned.
Using the template in the required position on the wall, “mark through” the template and onto the wall at the
three mounting locations designated “P23E” for this particular appliance. Now remove the template.
B) WWall FFixings:
If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity wall or a solid wall, drill three holes
using a 7mm 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. Insert 2 x 37mm
long fixing screws into the upper two wall-plugs, taking care to leave the screws protruding approximately 6mm
from the wall.
The appliance can now be “hung” onto the two upper wall fixings, ensuring that the heads of the screws go
through the keyhole shaped holes, and then drop down into the slot.
Ensure that the lower rear panel fixing hole aligns with the wall plug, and then insert 1 x 37mm long fixing screw
and fully tighten.
Finally fully tighten the two upper fixing screws, through the two panel acess holes at the front of the appliance.
C) RRe-AAssembly oof AAppliance:
Note: re-assembly is the reverse of disassembly as described in section 8.0
1. Refit the fuel bed, ensuring that the lamp spinner is free to rotate.
2. Refit the lower lamp cover plate, firstly inserting the bottom edge behind the firebox lip. Secure with the two
screws previously removed.
3. Reattach the front decorative frame by hanging onto the two upper fixing bolts, and reinserting the two lower
fixing bolts through the lower fixing brackets. Retighten the two lower fixing bolts.
Note: For Trinity models either the chrome or brass decorative trim pieces can be attached. Use the the supplied
magnets equally spaced along the rear face of each trim section. Fit both side sections firstly, followed by the
top and bottom sections.
Finally, peel off any remaining protective plastic coatings on the front frame, curved backpanel and the plastic
fuel bed.
D) PPlacement oof PPebbles:
Unpack the pebbles and arrange them over the fuel bed. The final
pebble arrangement can only be done later when the lamp is
switched on and light shines up through the transparent cover.
The ideal pebble layout is shown in the photograph on the right.

OPERATING TTHE AAPPLIANCE
Read AAll IInstructions BBefore UUse
Check that the heater outlet grille, mounted at the top of the appliance, 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 at the
right hand side towards the top.
The first switch towards the front,
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 first switch must be turned on firstly, 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 aappliance ccan bbe sswitched ooff aat aany ttime, iirrespective oof tthe pparticular mmode sselected, bby ssimply sswitch-
ing tthe ffirst sswitch mmarked ((OI) tto tthe ““off” pposition.
