At the base of the heater you will find the electric cable which runs through a

rectangular plastic cable guide. The cable guide is fitted into the rectangular slot on

the right side of the heater. If required this can be

moved and put in the rectangular slot in the centre

or left hand side of the heater. For removal and

fitting please see below.

Removing the cable guide

1. Before moving the cable guide please note that

the lip of the cable guide is on the outer edge of

the base (See figure 1- Item 1).

2. To remove the cable guide push and lift the tab

on the bottom of it and the cable guide will open

(See figure 1- Item 2).

3. Lift the electric cable clear of the cable guide.

4. Hold the bottom of the cable guide close to the

heater then gently pull the cable guide away from

the rectangular slot (See figure 1- Item 3).

Fitting the cable guide.

When fitting the cable guide please remember that

the lip of the cable guide has to be fitted against

Heater Fixing

All of the fixings supplied with the heater have been identified as in figure 2.

The heater must be fixed into position to prevent it from being tipped over

The following fixing options are available:

Screw Fixing

Wire Fixing

Spacer Frame (The spacer frame may not be supplied with the heater - see

details on page 5 headed ‘Where can I fit the heater?’).

If fitting the heater into a fireplace or surround opening, try the heater in the opening

to ensure that it will fit.

If fitting the heater onto a decorative hearth surface such as marble or tile it is

advisable to protect the hearth surface. Do not drag the heater as this may scratch

the hearth surface.

Method A - Screw fixing

Note - If fixing to marble it is recommended that

Method B - ‘Wire fixing’ is used. Drilling marble

without the correct tools and experience may result

in the marble cracking.

1. Place the heater into the fireplace or surround

opening. Make sure that the heater is in the middle

of the surround or fireplace.

2. There are two slotted holes in the top of the heater

(See figure 3). Mark through the slotted holes so that

their position is clear when the heater is removed.

3. Remove the heater.

INSTALLER AND OWNER GUIDE

Figure 2. Loose parts identification (Some parts may not be required)

Figure 3. Screw fixing.

Drill an appropriate size hole in each of the marked positions. Insert wall plugs into

the drilled holes.

Place the heater so that the slotted holes are in line with the wall plugs in the fixing

surface.

6. Screw and secure the heater with two woodscrews (See figure 2).

Method B - Wire Fix

This method of fixing needs a fireplace opening and is recommended when fixing the

heater to a marble surround or where the wall or brickwork is in poor condition.

1. The fixing kit supplied with the heater

includes a steel wire and eyescrew (See

figure 2). These can be used to secure the

heater to the back of a fireplace opening.

2. Mark the eyescrew position on the

centre line at the back of the fireplace

opening and at a height of 533-560mm (21

inches - 22 inches) (See figure 4).

3. Drill an appropriate size hole in the

marked position.

4. Insert a wall plug into the drilled hole.

5. Screw the eyescrew into the wall plug.

6. Position the heater in front of the

fireplace opening.

7. At the top of the heater there are four

small holes, two each side of the heater

(See figure 5- Item 1). From the front of

the heater, thread about 50mm (2 inches) of the steel wire into the inside small hole

on the left side of the heater (See figure 5 - item 2).

Thread the other end of the wire through the remaining small hole on the left hand

side of the heater. Continue to push the wire through this hole until there is only a

small loop of wire at the front of the heater (See figure 5 - item 3).

9. At the back of the heater there will be a long piece and a short piece of wire

coming through the two holes. Hold the short piece and give the long piece a gentle

tug. This will secure the steel wire. Take the long piece and thread this through the

eyescrew in the back of the fireplace opening (See figure 5 - item 4).

10.

From the back of the heater thread the long piece of steel wire through the outer

small hole on the right hand side of the heater (See figure 5 - item 5).

11.

Locate the heater in the fireplace opening, then from the front of the heater, gently

pull the steel wire on the right hand side to gather up the excess until the heater is

secure. Thread the wire through the remaining small hole to lock the wire and heater

in place (See figure 5 - item 6).

Method C - Spacer Frame

The spacer frame is for use during

installations where a chimney recess or

rebated fire surround are not available.

For your safety the frame and heater

must be securely fixed to the rear wall.

1. Position the spacer frame against the

wall. Ensure that the spacer frame is

central to the fireplace.

2. The top rear flange of the spacer

frame has two screw locations. Mark the

positions of the two screw locations on

the rear wall (See figure 6).

3. Remove the spacer frame from the

fireplace and place away from the work

area.

4. Drill the screw locations using a no. 12

masonry drill bit.

5.Insert the two wall plugs provided into

the holes

6. Insert a wood screw into each hole

and screw in until there is approximately

6mm of screw protruding from the wall.

Preparing the heater for installation.

1. Using the four screws provided in the spacer frame

kit, fix the heater to the spacer frame.

2. There is a supply cable slot on both sides of the

spacer frame. It is located at the base. Decide which

side to pass the supply cable through.

3. Position the supply cable in the spacer frame slot

(See figure 7).

Locating the spinners.

! It is possible that during transit the metal disks or 'spinners' located above the

bulbs may have become dislodged. This will cause a poor flicker flame effect.

Relocate the spinners centrally on their pins for best effect.

Fitting the firefronts and fascia

Important notes.

The coal pieces supplied are a natural material. Occasionally it will be necessary

to reduce the size of the coal pieces. To do this place them inside a plastic bag, place

on a suitable hard surface and tap gently with a small hammer or similar tool.

! The pebbles and coals are for decorative purposes only. There is a choke

risk to young children. Make sure they cannot gain access to them.

Fitting the fuel support

Debut and Flare models.

1. The fuel support must be fitted to

the heater before fitting the fascia

assembly. To do this, align the four

holes in the fuel support with those on

the heater (See figure 8). Secure with

the four screws supplied.

Aura 2, Camden, Otago and Seattle

models.

1. The fuel support is already

assembled to the firefront.
