A Foco bioethanol fireplace is not for use as a primary heat source. It is instead intended as a supplement room heater or as a decorative appliance. It should not be factored in as primary heat in residential heating calculations.
2. Foco Installation
The fireplace must be fully assembled into a fixed secure position before being operated.
Notice: Do not install directly beside or near wallpaper, laminate or other surfaces that are not designed to withstand heat and high temperatures (the heat will impact the material, and in some circumstances, the glue used for its application).
The area around the fireplace gets hot. Heat sensitive objects and materials should not be used. Do not place flammable objects on or around the device.
· The Foco fireplace is not designed to incorporate doors or opening covers. · The Foco fireplace must remain open at all times for ventilation – it is not designed to be operated as an
encapsulated fireplace. The fire must have a constant supply of air to operate and be able to circulate and distribute the heat effectively. · Do not modify the Foco frame or bioethanol burner in any way. · The appliance may give off small noises due to expanding and contracting caused by heating. This is normal.
2.1 Framing
· The appliance must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the weight of the appliance, burner at full capacity.
· The dimensions shown in the instructions are the optimum dimensions that allow the best fit.
IMPORTANT!: The wall and framing around the Foco fireplace must be self-supporting. The Foco is not load-bearing.
2.2 Definitions
Combustible materials – materials made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fibres, plastic, or other material that can ignite and burn shall be considered combustible.
Non-combustible materials – materials that will not ignite and burn. Such materials can be, but are not restricted to, steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or heat-resistant plasters- and fiberboards, and any combinations thereof.

1 Can vary depending on burner type. The dimensions shown are for a standard manual burner. Please check your specific required burner cutout size, if your fireplace is equipped with another burner. 2 IMPORTANT – If you want the finished wall to go flush with the fireplace frame, you need to subtract the thickness of the wall finishing materials from the dimensions of the framework. This will make the Foco frame protrude from the framework equivalent to the thickness of the wall finishing material. See 3.1.3 for more information.
3.1.2 Insulation board
a) Cut your insulation boards into size, so that they will fit into your framework. Fasten them using a power drill and screws. The insulation board is sold separatelyand and can be purchased at your local hardware shop. See 2.2 Definition for more information about insulation boards. The idea of the insulation boards is to create a heat-resistant spacer between the wooden wall frame and the fireplace frame so that there is no direct contact. If the framework is made of a non-flammable material like e.g. steel the insulation boards are not needed.

3.1.3 Insert frame
Illustration 1
Illustration 2 When frame is in place
a) If your bioethanol burner requires electricity to be operated provide an electricity connection with easy access inside the framework. If your burner offers the opportunity to connect a Smart Home System any additional required cables should also be routed now. Check the burner manual for additional information. b) As standard, the Foco frame is assembled with small nuts and bolts. They protrude approximately 1 cm out from the frame. A small cutout in the framework/insulation board might be necessary for the Foco frame to fit. Illustration 1 c) Slide the fireplace frame into the framing cavity. NOTE: For the fireplace to sit flush with the finished wall, make the Foco frame protrude out of the wall, equivalent to the thickness of the wall finishing material. Illustration 2 The space inside the wall does not require any ventilation. Unless your burner is a Dimplex Cassette OptiMyst water vapour fireplace.

3.1.4 Fasten frame
a) Fasten the Foco frame to the framework through the holes in the top of the frame. Use a spirit level to make sure the frame is mounted at level. b) The weight of the bottom plate is usually enough to keep it in place. But if you want to secure it further, you can fasten it to the framework through the holes for the glass brackets using small screws. See 3.1.6 for fastening of glass brackets.

1 Can vary depending on burner type. The dimensions shown are for a standard manual burner. Please check your specific required burner cutout size, if your fireplace is equipped with another burner.
2 IMPORTANT – If you want the finished wall to go flush with the fireplace frame, you need to subtract the thickness of the wall finishing materials from the dimensions of the framework. This will make the Foco frame protrude from the framework equivalent to the thickness of the wall finishing material. See 3.5.3 for more information.

3.5.2 Insulation board
a) Cut your insulation boards into size, so that they will fit into your framework. Fasten them using a power drill and screws. The insulation board is sold separately and can be purchased at your local hardware shop. See 2.2 Definition for more information about insulation boards. The idea of the insulation boards is to create a heat-resistant spacer between the wooden wall frame and the fireplace frame so that there is no direct contact. If the framework is made of a non-flammable material like e.g. steel the insulation boards are not needed.

a) If your bioethanol burner requires electricity to be operated provide an electricity connection with easy access inside the framework. If your burner offers the opportunity to connect a Smart Home System any additional required cables should also be routed now. Check the burner manual for additional information.
b) As standard, the Foco frame is assembled with small nuts and bolts. They protrude approximately 1 cm out from the frame. A small cutout in the framework/insulation board might be necessary for the Foco frame to fit. Illustration 1
c) Slide the fireplace frame into the framing cavity. NOTE: For the fireplace to sit flush with the finished wall, make the Foco frame protrude out of the wall, equivalent to the thickness of the wall finishing material. Illustration 2
The space inside the wall does not require any ventilation. Unless your burner is a Dimplex Cassette OptiMyst water vapour fireplace.
29
3.5.3 Fasten frame
a) Fasten the Foco frame to the framework through the screw holes in the top of the frame. Use a spirit level to make sure the frame is mounted at level.
b) The weight of the bottom plate is usually enough to keep it in place. But if you want to secure it further, you can fasten it to the framework through the holes for the glass brackets using small screws. See 3.3.6 for fastening of glass brackets.
3.5.4 Complete wall construction
