There is a length of self adhesive foam

seal supplied with the fire. This will need
to be fitted to the outer rear edges of the
side and top flanges of the hotbox. Cut a
485mm length of foam seal. Be careful not
to stretch the seal when measuring.
Remove the protective backing from the
foam seal and fit this to the rear of the top
flange (See figure 13). Cut two 580mm
lengths. Fit these to the rear outer edges of
the side flanges. Ensure that there is no
gap between the foam seals where they
meet at the top flange (See figure 13).

This appliance is supplied with a rear

ceramic support bracket. Fit this using two
screws supplied (See figure 14)

9. HOTBOX INSTALLATION

9.1 Method 1 - Front fixing to fireplace surround.

1.

Make sure that the fireplace front surround area is sound enough to take the fibre

plugs and woodscrews. If necessary, make sound with a suitable cement.

2. 

Place the hotbox centrally in the fireplace in the position in which it is to be

permanently installed. 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.

3.

Mark the fireplace front surround through the four fixing holes in the side flanges of
