Connecting the Appliance to the Gas Supply
In all installation conditions the gas connection should be provided using 8mm (O/D) copper tubing.
No soldered joints
should be used with the firebox of the appliance. The blind grommet which is supplied in the standard fitting pack should
be used to close up the knock out hole—simply cut a small cross with a sharp knife in the centre of the grommet—this will
then seal around the gas pipe to provide a tight seal.
Under no circumstances
should this gas entry hole be
left open
and
unsealed
as this can result in
flame reversal
and can cause
damage
to the appliance.
Should this occur the warranty to
this appliance will be rendered void.
Before connecting the gas supply to the appliance a gas soundness test should be performed to ensure that the existing
pipe work in the property is sound.
The burner tray can now be reinstalled into the firebox using the seven (7) screws and two (2) nuts - see page 14
The gas connection should be made to the appliance by the 8mm restrictor isolation valve supplied with the appliance.
Prepare the Appliance for Installation
Remove the glass front panel and the ceramic components from the unit (see glass removal instructions on page 10).
Remove the burner tray from the appliance. (For instructions see page 14).
If the concealed installation method is chosen, there are three optional entry points at the rear/side of the appliance. The
relevant ‘knock-out’ entry point should be removed to allow the gas supply to enter the appliance.
Carefully slide the firebox into the firebox opening. (Note the rubber seal is pre-fitted to the appliance on the sealing face.
Fix the appliance into position centrally on the hearth using the five (5) securing nuts supplied. Note the appliance has slots
at these positions to allow a small amount of movement left or right to allow it to be secured centrally. See diagram below.
