Before drilling the holes for the screws you’ll need to mark out the locations of where the holes will need to be in the wall.

If you’re mounting the fireplace directly to the wall then you’ll most likely need help. Our manual requests to ‘have to people hold the appliance against the wall to determine the final location’.

For other models of electric fireplace is may be necessary to firstly install a bracket onto the wall, which are commonly needed to help support the weight of the appliance. Marking out hole locations for any brackets will also be required.

Our wall mounted electric fireplace didn’t come with any brackets so with one of us holding the fireplace up against the wall in the desired location, the other ensured that it straight by using a level.

Using a pencil, we then marked out the drill locations at three locations across the top and at both locations underneath the appliance required for our fireplace.

When taking away the fireplace and/or bracket from the wall the pencil markings will indicate where you will need to drill.
