This section provides step by step instructions for selecting a location and preparing the site to install the fireplace into the following:
Existing Fireplace
1.Make sure that the fire is located on a flat surface.
2.Seal all draughts and vents to prevent chimney debris from falling onto the Fireplace Insert. Do not install into an existing fireplace that is prone to dampness.
3.Remove the fire front panel by following the steps as outlined in ‘Lamp Replacement’ sections.
4. Locate the 4 fixing holes, position the fire accordingly, and firmly fix the appliance to the wall using the appropriate screws - see Fig. 5a.
5. Replace the front panel.
New Support Structure Construction
When planning where to position your purpose built support structure the following steps must be observed:
1.Place the fire in the desired location to see how it will look in the room.
2.Mark the desired location for the new support structure in the room and store the fire in a safe, dry and dust free location.
3.Using timber studs to support the fire, devise and construct a suitable means of supporting the product within the wall partition and provide electrical power for the fire to be HARD wired. For recommended sizes of height, width and depth of opening for recess and hole fixing dimensions for each model - see Table 1 and Fig. 5a.
4.When the structure is complete, remove the front panel of the fire by following the steps as outlined in ‘Lamp Replacement’ sections.
5.Locate the 4 fixing holes, position the fire accordingly, and firmly fix using the appropriate screws.
