SAFETY
When drilling into brick work always wear safety goggles, a dust mask, and
always work in a well ventilated area.
Keep children clear of work area.
Always read the installer and owner guide supplied with the fire / heater. This
guide should be read in conjunction with those supplied with the fire / heater.
Always tidy loose electrical leads in the work area.
Always switch off electric power when not needed.
The surround must always be fixed into position.
HANDLING AND UNPACKING
Before continuing any further with the installation of this surround please read the
following:
Important instructions.
The approximate lifting weights of the surround components are as below:
Side leg (Each) 5.88 kg
Fascia 4.3 kg
Surround top 6.9 kg
This surround is heavy. We therefore recommend that two people should be
sufficient to lift it. If fitting or moving the surround alone we recommend the use
of suitable lifting apparatus.
When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.
Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
Avoid upper body / top heavy bending. Always bend from the knees rather than
the waist. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst handling.
Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
Always keep the surround as close to the body as possible. This will minimise
the cantilever action.
Use gloves to provide additional grip.
Always use assistance if required.

FITTING THE SURROUND
The installation of this surround 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?
You will need the following tools:
A Pozidrive / Phillips / cross head screwdriver. This should have a number 2 size
tip.
If drilling into brick work you will need a power drill (preferably with hammer
action) and appropriate size drill bit for the wall plugs supplied.
How to assemble the Surround.
Step 1. Assembling the surround top.
Lay the surround top face down on a clean, flat, non-marking surface as in figure
2.
Locate and screw the five cambolts (B) into the surround top (A) (See figure 2).

Step 4. Securing the fascia to the surround legs.
Secure the fascia to the surround legs using eight screws (G).
Step 5. Removing and preparing the infill strips (Gas rails) for
installations with electric heaters.
For installations with gas fires proceed to step 8.
The surround is supplied for use with gas fire
installations. For electric heater installations the
infill strips (Gas rails) will need to be removed.
To do this simply unscrew and remove the
screws from the gas rails and support blocks.
The gas rails are highlighted in figure 6.
The surround is supplied with four brackets
(H) that are for securing the two longer infill
strips to the wall behind the back panel. This
should aid with the installation of electric
heaters. Secure the brackets to the strips as in
figure 7 using the screws used previously to
secure the strips to the surround. The slots in
the brackets must be as in figure 7 to allow
adjustments to be made.

Step 6. Fitting the infill strips to the wall.
Measure and mark the back panel opening position onto the wall then place the
back panel aside. We recommend that the strips are fitted to the wall approximately
50mm clear of the back panel opening (See figure 8). Mark the central positions of
the fixing points on the wall. Drill
suitable sized holes at the fixing
points for the wall plugs supplied.
Insert four wall plugs (J). Locate
and secure the strips to the wall
using four (M) screws.
Measure the thickness of the
back panel. 75mm minus this
figure gives the required distance
from the top face of the strips to
the wall. To adjust the depth of
the strips to the wall, simply
loosen the screws securing the
strips to the brackets, adjust to
the required depth and tighten
the screws.

Step 7. Checking for gaps.
Before continuing with the
installation of the surround and back
panel it is important to ensure that
there are no gaps between the
surround and back panel or surround
and wall.To do this, place the back
panel and surround in place. If any
gaps exist then adjust the distance
between the wall strips and the wall.
To adjust the distance of the strips to
the wall, simply loosen the screws
securing the strips to the brackets,
adjust to the required depth and
tighten the screws.
Step 8. Securing the wall brackets.
Place the wall fixing brackets (K) 110mm from the top of the surround as shown
in figure 7. Secure in place using six (L) screws.
Step 9. Securing the
surround assembly.
There are two wall
fixing points shown in
figure 8. Mark the
positions of the fixing
points on the wall. Drill
suitable sized holes at the
fixing points for the wall
plugs supplied. Insert two
wall plugs (J). Insert two
screws (M) leaving
approximately 3mm
between the wall surface
and the rear of the screw
head. Lift the surround
and locate the keyhole
slots over both screw
heads. The screws can be
adjusted to obtain the best
fit. This will require
removal of the surround.
