instead of the fibre plugs supplied

Screw the

eyebolts into the plugs. Make sure that the bolts are
secure.

4.

Place the hotbox unit close to the fireplace but

allow sufficient access into the fireplace opening so
that the cables can be threaded through the
eyebolts and returned through the back of the
hotbox. If a concealed connection is being used,
insert the hotbox into the fireplace feeding the
supply pipe through the pierced hole in the rear
grommet.

5.

The hotbox has two holes at each side of the

spillage plate. Insert one end of each cable (one cable
each side) from the back through the lower of the two
holes and return the end through the upper of the holes
(See figure 17). Give the cables a pull so that they grip
against the hotbox flanges.

6.

Thread the cables through the eyebolts. Return the

cables through the holes near the bottom of the hotbox
back panel (See figure 18) 

(For precast or clay block

flue systems return the cables through the slotted
holes in the side of the hotbox)

.

7. 

Place the hotbox fully back into the fireplace opening

so that it is sealed against the fireplace front surround.

8.

Drill a hole into the fireplace floor through each of

the two holes in the base of the hotbox using a no.12
masonry drill (See figure 19).

9.

Insert a fibre plug into each hole. Use the  fibre

plugs supplied with this appliance - 

Never use plastic

plugs instead of the fibre plugs supplied

.

Fit a

woodscrew in each plug and tighten.

Always screw the base into position before applying
tension to the cables. This will ensure a tight seal
between the top of the hotbox and wall 

10. 

Fit a cable retainer over the bottom end of each

cable.
