HANDLING AND UNPACKING

Before continuing any further with the installation of this heater please read the
following:

Unpacking Dream Heater.

This heater has a fascia which is heavy (13.35 kG).
To avoid damage it is packed in a separate box within the main box.

When unpacking it is important that the box containing the fascia is removed before the

main body of the heater. This is to prevent the main box tipping over and causing
damage or injury.

Important Safety Instructions.

One person should be sufficient to lift the heater. If for any reason this weight is

considered too heavy then obtain assistance.

When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.

FITTING THE HEATER

The installation of this heater requires a reasonable level of DIY skills.

Please read this guide thoroughly before commencing installation and if in doubt,

seek help from a competent person

Do I need any tools?

1. You will need two screwdrivers: -

1 off Pozidrive / Phillips / cross head

screwdriver. This should have a number 2 size

end. If you are unsure about the size of the end simply make sure that the end fits into

the screws supplied with the heater. If the end is too small then the end will spin and
damage the screw.

1 off Flat end

screwdriver. The end should fit into the slot head screws supplied with

the heater.

2. For drilling into brickwork you will need an electric hammer drill and appropriate
size drill bit for the wallplugs supplied (See figure 15).

INSTALLER AND OWNER GUIDE

Where can I fit the heater?

This heater can be fitted into fireplaces or surrounds where the following dimensions
are available.

Width 390mm - 450 mm (15.35 inches - 17.72 inches)
Height 555mm - 590 mm (21.9 inches - 23.2 inches)
Depth At least 75mm (At least 3 inches)

There should be at least 30mm (1.2 inches) clearance between the top of the fascia and

anything such as a shelf, fireplace surround or mantel etc. This will allow the fascia to

be lifted off or removed during servicing. To check this gently place the fascia against

the surface to which it is to be fixed. Measure the distance from the top of the fascia.

Using the 75mm (3 inch) spacer kit supplied, the Adage and Victorian heaters can also

be used where a fireplace opening or fireplace surround opening are not available i.e. a

flat wall. The Dream heater does not have the 75mm (3 inch spacer) and cannot

be used

against flat walls.

Important Electrical Safety

The heater must not

be located in front of or under an electrical socket, the socket must

always be accessible in order to disconnect the heater from the electrical supply for
maintenance and cleaning.

Important! This heater must be earthed.

!

The heater is supplied with a 3 pin 13 Amp fused re-wireable plug with 1mm² 3 core

cable.
! The wires in the cable are coloured in accordance with the following code: -

Live =Brown Neutral = Blue Earth = Green /Yellow

! The mains supply must be safely routed from the heater to an electrical socket.
