Assembly- Existing Masonry Chimney Breast

200799_1

Before commencing further with the installation please ensure the 2 X Fire Support Brackets have been attached to the MDF

Framework, these set the minimum depth required for installation- 238mm. As shown on Page 4.

We recommend sealing the MDF Framework using an appropriate sealer, especially if the installation site is damp, however

this is down to the discretion of the installer.

Decide on the installation height of the fire and using the pre-assembled MDF Framework for guidance, mark and cut an

opening in the brickwork so that the MDF Framework can be fixed flush with the face of the brickwork. As shown in Diagram 4.

Diagram 4 is for guidance only, the final construction will be dependant on how the existing chimney breast is built, if a lintel is

required, please seek advice from a professional , with reference to the structural integrity of the installation site.

Ensuring the front face of the MDF Framework is flush with the brickwork, fix in position through the pre-drilled holes in the

MDF Framework. 3 x fixing holes in the top and bottom and 1 x fixing hole in each side.

Alternative fixing points maybe be required depending on the material being fixed into.
