20.0Fixing the Heater to the Base and Wall:
There are several ways that the heater can be fixed against movement: It is a requirement that this heater be securely fastened to the wall and base.
Note: It is important that the outer fascia is used during this process to ensure that the heater is located in the appropriate position within the cavity.
21.0Fixing Heater to Base:
Please refer to 18.0 before installing the flue
The heater has several holes along the front edge of the base panel that have been provided to allow installers to screw the heater to the floor. Because of a lack of access for drilling it may be necessary to mark the appropriate location for these screws and then remove the heater and drill holes into hard flooring.
Alternatively a socket set can be used to drive in hex headed screws.
21.1 Fixing Heater to Wall:
The installer must also fix the heater to the sides of the cavity using the bracket kit provided. These brackets must be installed over the outer lining surface of the wall i.e. over the Plaster Board rather than onto a stud which is then subsequently covered with a wall lining. Otherwise the fire will be sitting too far back and will inhibit the outer fascia panel from fitting correctly.
