Figure 1

1. Select the position of the fire on the wall to which it is to be mounted. Draw a
level horizontal line on the wall at the required height. This line will correspond
to the top of the appliance so it is important to allow for the extra height of the
fire front.

2. Mark the center li ne of the fir e on to t he hori zontal line

3. Place the Installation Plate supplied to the horizontal line and line up the center
“V” cut out with the center line. See Figure 1.

4. DRYWALL INSTALLATION) Install screws provided into studs at 4 outside
corner screw holes. If studs are not present, install self drilling hollow wall
anchors provided at the 4 outside corners and find wood studs with at least 4
more screws on the mounting plate. (2 high and 2 low) Holes are offset to allow
finding wood studs at normal spacing. Attach more screws into wood on 95”
model.

5. MASONRY INSTALLATION) If the wall is of a sound masonry construction the
attaching holes should be drilled with an 5/16” mm masonry drill. First secure the
4 outside corners. Use the masonry anchors and screws provided. Double
check that a firm solid attachement is achieved or add additional anchors as
required.

6. If a firm attachement cannot be achieved it may be necessary to install extra
support to the framing. It is most important that the mounting plate are firm and
solid and that the structure is capable of taking the load.
