FIXING THE APPLIANCE
Remove any protective film coatings from the finished/decorative surfaces of the appliance. After having
selected the final mounting position of the appliance, taking into
account the requirements as specified in sections 3 and 4 of these
instructions, the integrity of the wall, and the feasibility of the pro-
posed supply pipe routing, 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.
Focal Point Fires plc. assumes
absolutely no responsibility for
injuries and/or damages that
may occur due to improper
installation or handling. The appliance should not be installed until all
wet plastering and/or dry wall sanding and wall painting has been com-
pleted. 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 con-
ventional 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 situa-
tion, any additional fixings and
wallplugs should be of the same size
and type as the ones provided. At the
appropriate stage of the installation, drill four holes using only a 8mm mason-
ry bit to a depth of 42mm. Insert the wallplugs provided ensuring they are
flush to the wall.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed con-
struction wall then efforts should be made to fix in at least two positions ver-
tically, 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 hol-
low 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 shown in figure 4. For further guidance for wall fixing in tim-
ber framed buildings refer to any relevant local codes of practice.
Flat Wall Fixing - All Models
To assist with fixing the appliance, a template is provided as
shown in figure 3. Mark the positions shown as “Fixing points”
on the wall. If a concealed gas connection is to be made ensure
the gas supply pipe is in its final position and can enter the
appliance in the correct position when the appliance is hung on
the wall.
Drill the wall as appropriate for the type of wall as previously
described in this section, and insert the chosen type of wall fix-
ings. Insert the wall fixing screws into the top wall plugs, tak-
ing care to leave the screws protruding approximately 5mm
from the wall.
Now hang the appliance onto these screws through the two
keyhole shaped holes in the upper brackets on the back panel of the appliance. Insert the lower fixing
screws into the lower wall plugs through the corresponding fixing holes in the lower part of the back panel.
Do not tighten fully. Before tightening the wall mounting screws fully, at this stage it is recommended to
check the horizontal alignment of the appliance with a spirit level, as small adjustments can still be made
if necessary.
When this has been checked, tighten all four fixing screws fully.
To access the upper fixing screws insert a screwdriver through the round access holes in the front face of
the outlet grille (as shown in figure 5). These access holes are located in the same position on all models.
CHECKING THE BURNER
There are no imitation fuel bed components to install. The appliance features a ribbon burner which is
designed to produce a continuous band of flame over it’s length.
The burner should be visually inspected to ensure it is free from any foreign matter.
If it is necessary to clean or dust off the burner then the glass door should be removed by removal of the
four retaining screws. Re-fit the glass door after cleaning or inspection, ensuring a good seal.

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, vibra-
tion and other external forces.
WARNING
Plasterboard alone is not consid-
ered to be a structural material.
It is not recommended to rely on
plasterboard fixings alone to
support the weight of the appli-
ance.
