Method C - Spacer Frame
The optional 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.
Fitting the spacer frame
The rear of the spacer has wider flanges. These should be to the rear when fitting.
1.
Position the rear of the spacer frame against the wall. Ensure that the spacer frame is
central to the fireplace. It is important that the side legs are positioned correctly and are
upright.
2.
Mark the upper positions of the key hole
slots on the rear wall (See figure 7).
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 two wall plugs provided into the holes.
6.
Insert a ‘B’ 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 with 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 and position the
supply cable in the spacer frame slot (See figure 8).
Fitting the heater.
1.
Locate the spacer frame and heater
over the screw heads ensuring a tight
fit. If the fit is loose, remove the spacer
frame and heater from the wall.
Tighten the wall screws slightly and
reposition the spacer frame and heater.
Fitting the light diffuser.
1.
There is a light diffuser supplied
