2.
Drill four holes in the rear wall of the fireplace for the fibre wall plugs ‘F’. The holes
should be drilled within the range of positions shown in figure 15 using a no.12
masonry drill. The holes should be equidistant each side of the centre line of the
fireplace to ensure that the appliance finishes
centrally in the opening when tension is applied to
the cables.
3.
Insert a fibre wall plug into each hole. Use the
fibre plugs supplied with this appliance -
Never use
plastic plugs instead of the fibre plugs supplied
.
Screw the eyescrews ‘M’ into the plugs. Make sure
that the eyescrews 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 eyescrews
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
16). Give the cables a pull so that they grip against the
hotbox flanges.
6.
Thread the cables through the eyescrews. Return the
cables through the holes near the bottom of the hotbox
back panel (See figure 17)
(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 18).
9.
Insert a fibre wall plug into each hole. Fit a wood
screw ‘H’ 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 adjuster ‘L’ over the bottom end of each
