6.0 SITE REQUIREMENTS

This appliance is designed to be wall mounted using the mounting bracket and fixings provided. The wall should be relatively flat and not interfere with any of the ventilation slots in the rear panel.

The wall must be structurally sound and of a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Finished plaster, conventional wallpaper, dry-lined plaster board are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as flock, blown vinyl, embossed paper and cloth wall coverings which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided, as some discolouration may occur.

It should be noted that the appliance creates warm convected air currents. These currents move heat from the room surroundings to, and up the wall surfaces adjacent to the heater.

Installing the heater next to these types of wall coverings or operating the heater where impurities in the air, (such as tobacco smoke) exist, may slightly discolour wall finishing.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined or timber framed construction then the integrity and ability of the wall to carry the weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour barrier and/or structural members of the house frame are not damaged.

If you are unsure of the ability of the wall to carry the weight and/or which type of wall fixing to use, you should take professional advice and obtain the correct fixings. Alternatively, find a more suitable wall location.

DO NOT

• mount on a ceiling or floor.
• recess any part of the appliance into the wall, or run the supply cable under carpets.
• site any electrical equipment e.g. plasma screen TV sets etc, on the wall below the appliance.
• site in a position where curtains or drapes could cover the appliance, or other soft materials could cover e.g. below a coat rack.
• site behind an opening door where mechanical impact/damage could occur.
• site where the supply cable would become a trip hazard.
• sit, stand or forcefully pull on the appliance.
• obstruct, cover or force items into the openings.
• use the heater to dry clothes.
• site/use in an outdoor location(s).

7.0 CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS

It is important that the following clearances are maintained from the appliance to combustible materials. These clearances are dependent on the mounting location as defined below:

• The minimum distance from the top of the appliance to a ceiling is 300mm
• The minimum distance from the bottom of the appliance to the floor is 300mm
• The minimum distance to the sides of the appliance is 100mm
• The minimum distance to the front of the appliance is 500mm

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT THIS TIME.

Smeg (UK). Assumes absolutely no responsibility for injuries and damages that may occur due to improper installation or handling.

Remove any protective film coatings from the finished/decorative surfaces of the appliance, if any. After having selected the final mounting position of the appliance taking into account the integrity of the wall 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. The appliance should not be installed until all wet plastering and/or dry wall sanding and wall painting has been completed. 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 conventional 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 situation, any additional fixings and wallplugs should be of the same size and type as the ones provided.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then efforts should be made to fix in at least two positions vertically, 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 hollow 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 indicated (Figure 1). For further guidance for wall fixing in timber frames, Figure 2 buildings refer to any relevant local codes of practice.

WARNING

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, vibration and other external forces. Plasterboard alone is not considered to be a structural material. It is not recommended to rely on plasterboard fixings alone to support the weight of the appliance.

For optimum viewing install the fire out of direct sunlight. Ensure that the bracket is level by using a spirit level whilst marking out the hole positions. Fix the wall bracket using the plugs and screws provided. Carefully lift the heater up ensuring that the top rear ledge of heater engages with the wall bracket and is sitting centrally. This process should be carried out by two people to avoid injury or damage to property or the appliance.

Gently bring the heater down against the wall. Mark the lower fixing bracket one fixing hole position on the wall, remove the heater. Drill the wall and insert the wall plug. Refit the heater to the wall and fasten the bottom fixing bracket to the wall using the screw provided to permanently fix the heater in place (Figure 2).

The facia panel is supported by four M6 screws which protrude from the front of the outer casing as shown in figure 3. Ensure each screw is unscrewed approximately one turn from the fully screwed in position in order to create a 2mm gap as shown in figure 4. Simply hang the facia panel onto the outer casing ensuring that the corresponding keyhole shaped holes engage the screwheads fully.

12.0 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Fire is not switching on Ensure mains switch is on

	Replace the fuse in the plug
Fire is not emitting any heat	The fire is fitted with an energy saving thermostat. If the temperature in the room is higher than the temperature selected on the fire, then the thermostat will stop the heater from turning on. For example, if the room temperature is 22^ or above and the fires heater is set at 22^ , then the heater will not be required until the room temperature drops below 22^ . If this is the case select a higher temperature setting than the room’s temperature and the heater will begin to operate.The safety cut-out may have operated. Switch your fire off, leave for two minutes and then switch back on.
Fire shuts off after a period of time	Check that the temperature is not set onto the lower settings. If the room is warm enough the thermostat will stop the fire switching the heat on.Check that the chimney/flue is blocked off.
Fire seems noisy	There is a level of noise when the flame effect is in use, caused by a motor that helps generate the effect. This noise will be heard when there is no other background noise.There is a higher level of noise associated with the heater motor; this is due to the air flow required when heat has been selected.

Remote is not operating Check or replace batteries.
