Installation

Do not connect appliance until properly fixed to the wall and the
Instruction leaflet is read fully.

For installation of the appliance, care must be taken not to damage
any cables that may be concealed in the wall.

Please be careful while drilling the holes.

These models are designed to be permanently wall mounted - see

Fig. 1

 for recommended fixing dimensions from floor to underside of

the appliance for optimum viewing of the  display screen. The outline
of the chassis and the position of the electrical socket are shown as
dotted outlines in 

Fig. 1

. Any dimensions indicated ‘

*

’ are recommended

dimensions.

The wall plate is secured to the chassis with 2 screws (see detail view
‘X’ in 

Fig. 4

). To wall mount the appliance first remove the wall plate

from the chassis by removing the two screws and rotating the corner
hinges away from the chassis.
Note : Retain the two screws for future use.

Fix the wall plate to the wall using the wall plugs and screws provided.
(Note: Ensure that the wall is suitable for the screws & plugs provided).

Use the wall plate as a template to mark the hole positions for drilling
- see 

Fig. 2

.  Drill and fix the wall plate in position with one screw

initially to check the plate is level before marking and drilling the
remaining holes - see ‘1’ in 

Fig. 3

. Ensure the wall plate is fitted the

correct way up i.e. the side hooks are pointed upwards - see 

Fig. 3

.

The appliance can then be fitted to the wall plate by aligning the slots
on the chassis with the side hooks on the wall plate. This is best
achieved by positioning the appliance vertically above the plate (see ‘2’
in 

Fig. 3

) and locating on the side hooks and sliding the chassis

downwards (see ‘3’ in 

Fig. 3

).

The corner hinges on the wall plate may be used to secure the
appliance against inadvertent dislodgement. Simply rotate the hinges
upwards (see 

Fig. 2

 and detail view in 

Fig. 3

) to a position above the

chassis. They can then be screw fixed using the screws removed earlier
(see detail view ‘X’ in 

Fig. 4 

of corner hinge rotated up and screw fixed

in position).

NOTE: The appliance should be ‘HARD’ wired to a fused switched
spur located behind the glass screen so as to be hidden from view -
see ‘a‘ in 

Fig. 1

. The cable should be shortened as necessary in order

to remain concealed behind the glass display screen.

Please consult a qualified electrician for appropriate wiring requirements.

Operation

Plug in the connector from the electrical hard wiring outlet to the
appliance (see ‘2’ in detail B 

Fig. 1

).

The illuminated power ‘On’ switch (see ‘3’ in detail B 

Fig. 1

) must first

be switched ‘On’ to operate the appliance either manually or by remote
control.

The ‘Coal’ scene will automatically come on when the power ‘On’ switch
is switched on.

Switch the heat ‘On’ if required (see ‘4’ in detail B 

Fig. 1

). Heat ‘On’

will be indicated by a red LED (see ‘Y’ in detail ‘A’ 

Fig. 1

).

Note: The temperature of the glass will rise steadily up to a maximum
of approximately 60 degrees C when the heat is turned ‘on’.

The Memory Card (see ‘y’ in 

Fig. 6

) as fitted is held in position by a

hinged cover (see ‘x’ in 

Fig. 6

) which is screwed in place to provide

protection against damage in handling and for added security - see C
in 

Fig. 6

.

If required the card can be removed by unscrewing and hinging back
the cover - see A in 

Fig. 6

, and simply pre

ssing down on the button

(see ‘z’ in 

Fig. 6

) beside the card to eject it.

In replacing the card it should drop down into position before pressing
home – see B in 

Fig. 6

 (force should not be used in fitting the card as

damage can result). Ensure the logo on the card is facing down when
inserting it, as shown in A in 

Fig. 6

.

Important: Always switch off the appliance before removing the
card.

Failure to do so will result in a picture freeze. To restart, the appliance
must first be turned off at the illuminated power ‘On’ switch - see ‘3’ in
detail B in 

Fig. 1

 and the card pressed into position, and then the

illuminated power ‘On’ switch turned on again.
