Q Do you want to fit the heater directly onto carpet?
A Although the heater can be fitted directly onto carpet we do not recommend this.
The reasons for this are:
It may be difficult to stand the firefront and ash pan on certain carpets.
The filter may require more frequent cleaning.
It is important that rugs and other objects do not obstruct the air openings at the
bottom of the heater.
General notes to read before fitting your heater.
If fitting the heater onto a reflective or shiny surface such as a hearth we
recommend that this surface does not extend further than 300mm from the fixing
plane (wall). Reflective or shiny surfaces that project further than 300mm may
reflect an image of the internal light source.
When the fuel effect is on, it will be possible to see reflected light and movement
behind the outlet louvre at the top of the heater.
Fitting the mains cable.
The heater is supplied with a mains cable
assembly that should be connected to the
heater prior to installation. The heater
connector is located at the rear bottom left
(See figure 6).
The mains cable guides.
At the base of the heater you will find two
electric cable guides, one each side of the
heater. If required, the cable guide on the
right hand side (looking from the front of the
heater) can be removed and put in the
rectangular slot in the centre rear of the
heater. For removal and fitting please see
the following sections.
Removing the cable guide.
1.
Before removing the cable guide please
note that the wider part of the cable guide is on the outer edge of the base (See
figure 7 - Item 1).
2.
To remove the cable guide push and lift the tab on the bottom. The bottom of the
cable guide will open (See figure 7 - Item 2).
3.
Hold the bottom of the cable guide close to the heater then gently pull the cable
guide away from the rectangular slot (See figure 7 - Item 3).
