CAUTI N: D N T C NNECT THE APPLIANCE T THE
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT THIS TIME.
Focal Point Fires plc. assumes absolutely no responsibility for injuries and damages
that may occur due to improper installation or handling.
Remove any protective film coatings from the finished/decorative surfaces of the
appliance, if any. After having selected the final mounting position of the appliance
taking into account the integrity of the wall the firebox of the appliance may be
secured to the wall.
To ensure customer safety, be sure to design the installation so that the strength of
both the wall and any wall fixings used are sufficient. The appliance should not be
installed until all wet plastering and/or dry wall sanding and wall painting has been
completed. Do not block the ventilation holes of the appliance. The wall onto
which the appliance is installed must be flat. Install only on a vertical surface. Avoid
sloped surfaces. Installation onto anything other than a vertical wall may result in fire,
damage or injury.
If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity brick wall,
or a solid wall, then the wall plugs and fixing screws provided may be used.
Depending on the condition of the wall it may be necessary to use additional
fixings. In this situation, any additional fixings and wallplugs should be of the same
size and type as the ones provided.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed
construction wall then efforts should be made to fix in at least two positions
vertically, into one of the wooden studs, or supporting wooden members of the
wall using two of the fixing screws provided. If this is not achievable then the wall
should be strengthened using appropriate building materials.
If there is no alternative than to rely on some plasterboard fixings then special cavity
screw fixings or hollow wall anchors will be required which are not supplied with
this product. These should be constructed from metal and not plastic and of the
design indicated (Figure 1). For further guidance for wall fixing in timber framed
buildings refer to any relevant local codes of practice.
For optimum viewing install the fire out of direct sunlight. Ensure that the bracket
is level by using a spirit level whilst marking out the hole positions. Fix the wall
bracket using the plugs and screws provided. Carefully lift the heater up ensuring
that the top rear ledge of heater engages with the wall bracket and is sitting
centrally. This process should be carried out by two people to avoid injury or
damage to property or the appliance.
Gently bring the heater down against the wall. Mark the lower fixing bracket one
fixing hole position on the wall, remove the heater. Drill the wall and insert the
wall plug. Refit the heater to the wall and fasten the bottom fixing bracket to the
wall using the screw provided to permanently fix the heater in place (Figure 2).
Place the front surround over the front of the fire aligning the slots in the brackets at each side of the front panel with the lugs
on the sides of the fire (Figure 3). Again two people will be required for this operation.
Check that the fan outlet, mounted underneath the appliance, is not covered or obstructed in any way. Ensure the power to
the fire is switched O .

The wall where the appliance is to be
installed must be capable of
long-term support of the total load of
the appliance. Measures should also
be taken to ensure sufficient strength
to withstand the force of
earthquakes, vibration and other
external forces. Plasterboard alone is
not considered to be a structural
material. It is not recommended to
rely on plasterboard fixings alone to
support the weight of the appliance.
