Inset Fire Opening Sizes & Installation Introduction

Opening Sizes

Follow the minimum clearances to fit the appliance into a back panel or cavity. Consider routing the power supply; a qualified electrician should conduct electrical installation. An accessible single socket is required.

For efficient safe running, a minimum aperture opening area for the IQFX 16" (4232) is advised:

Installing the IQFX 16" (4232) Introduction

Removing the Glass/ Parts & Fixings Inside The Fire

Box 3 is located behind the front glass. The glass must be removed first.

  1. Remove the 3 screws holding the glass retaining bracket. (See Diagram 2)
  2. Note: Support the glass with your free hand while removing the bracket.
  3. Once the bracket is removed, angle the glass out from the bottom, past the ledge, and lower it out of the top groove.
  4. Note: Place the glass safely aside to avoid damage until refitting after the fuel bed is added.
  5. Carefully remove the cardboard box behind the screen (See Diagram 3) and set aside.

Diagram 2 shows the 3 screws for the glass retaining bracket. Diagram 3 shows the cardboard box behind the screen.

Installing the IQFX 16" Fire

  1. Locate the Clamping Bracket and Screws from Box 2.
  2. Screw the back panel clamp bracket to the top of the fire using 3x 10mm Dome Head Screws. (See Diagram 4) There are three mounting positions depending on back panel thickness. The middle fixing is for 18mm/20mm panels, and the rear fixing is for 38mm/40mm panels.
  3. The bracket may need to be bent by hand to fit. Note: The bracket is designed to prevent the fire falling forward and may not be a tight fit.
  4. Position the back panel clamp bracket under the back panel at an angle, ensuring not to trap the power cable. (See Diagram 5) Note: Avoid scratching the hearth during installation.
  5. Once the fire's lower rear edge clears the hearth, stand the fire upright and ease it back into the cut-out.
  6. Apply light pressure to the fire to overcome the clamp's spring effect and move it fully into place. The bracket will then secure the fire.
  7. To remove the fire, lift it vertically and angle it out of the back panel cut-out from the bottom.

Diagram 4 shows back panel clamp bracket mounting options. Diagram 5 shows positioning the fire with the clamp bracket. Diagram 6 illustrates fire removal.

Internal Fuel Bed Layout & Log Positioning

Dress the Fuel Bed and position the Logs. Locate Box 3.

Fuel Bed Dressing

Place Crystallised Pebbles / Smoked Crystals over the fuel bed. Enough material is provided to cover it.

Diagram 7 shows placement of pebbles/crystals.

Log Positioning

Diagram 8 shows the logs supplied with the IQFX 16".

Note: Locate the 'Log LED Light Assembly' from Box 3 and insert LED lights into logs with holes in the bottom. Connect illuminated logs to fuel bed connection points, hiding fly-leads.

Replacing The Glass

After dressing the fuel bed and positioning logs, replace the glass following the steps on Page 8 in reverse order.

Installing the IQFX 16" Echo Trim

  1. With the fire securely installed, unpack the separately supplied fire trim.
  2. If applicable, remove the trim's protective cover.
  3. Position the 4x 10mm diameter magnets to the rear of the trim in the indicated positions. (Diagram 10)
  4. Turn the trim to the front, drop the bottom trim louver down, place the last 10mm magnet on the rear centre top of the louver, and push back to contact the upper louver tab. (Diagram 10)
  5. Place the trim over the fire, allowing magnets to contact the fire body to secure it. (Diagram 11)
  6. This completes the installation of the IQFX 16" trim. (Diagram 12)

For Voice, Manual, Remote, and APP Control instructions, see pages 13-33.
