The appliance must be prepared for

installation by removing the front

decorative frame, removing the selected

gas inlet ‘knock-out’, and assembling and

fitting the rear frame to the appliance.

These steps are carried out as follows:

1. 

The decorative fire frame assembly

comprises of three parts, the front frame,

the rear frame and the outlet grille. 

Remove the front frame retaining screws

(positions shown in figure 1)  from the side

of the firebox and carefully remove the

front frame from the appliance.  Remove

the wall mouting plate from the appliance

by removal of the two wingnuts located in

the lower inner secion of the firebox.

2. 

Gas connection :The heater gas inlet

connection is 3/8” NPT at the regulator,

located below the burner, in the right

hand side of the heater. There are four

possible entry points for the gas supply pipework to enter the appliance

firebox. These entry points are ‘knock out’ type holes (shown in figure 2).

Non-concealed gas connections may be made using the entry points at

either end of the firebox or the one in the bottom of the firebox. A concealed

gas connection may be made using the knock out hole in the centre back

of the firebox. Select

the most appropriate

entry point and knock

out the relevant hole. 

If a concealed gas con-

nection is to be made,

the supply pipe should

always be sleeved

through walls and

floors using the

shortest possible route. 

For concealed supply

pipe routing, pipes

must (where possible) be vertical and providing there is sufficient wall thick-

ness available, they should be placed in pipe chases. Horizontal pipe runs

should be avoided.  Prior to chasing a solid wall, an inspection should be

made to note the proximity of any cables/sockets outlets which may already

be buried. Pipes must be secured using suitable clips and protected against

corrosion. Ideally factory finished protected pipework and fittings should be

used. Joints should be kept to a minimum and compression fittings must

not be used. The pipework installation must be tested for soundness before

any protection is applied and/or the pipework and fittings are buried.

Now it is necessary to

assemble the rear frame

of the appliance. Unpack

the four frame sections

and lay face down on a

soft surface taking care

not to damage the painted

finish. Using the eight self

tapping screws provided,

fasten the frame pieces

together as shown in fig-

ure 3, making sure that

the edges align neatly. 

With the rear frame
assembled, and  the
main firebox lying
with the glass panel
downwards,  attach
the rear frame to the
main firebox using
four self tapping
screws in the
positions shown in
figure 4.

After having

selected the

final mounting

position of the

appliance, tak-

ing into account

the site

requirements as

specified in

section 7 of

these

instructions, the

integrity of the

wall, and the

feasibility of the

proposed

supply  pipe

routing, the appliance firebox may be secured to the wall. 

A full size fitting template is supplied to assist with wall mounting. 

If the heater is to be installed on a studded wall with conventional 16”

stud spacing then a wall mounting plate is supplied to enable this. First

locate the studs and using suitable fixings, screw the mounting plate to

the wall via the four mounting holes. The heater may then be hung onto

the mounting plate. The bottom of the heater may be secured onto the

lower mounting studs using the wingnuts or the hex nuts provided. 

Mark the positions shown as “Plasma/Capella/Radium fixing points on

the wall.  If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a con-

ventional cavity wall, or a solid wall, drill four holes using a 1/4” masonry

bit. Insert the fiber wall plugs provided.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed

construction wall then special cavity screw fixings will be required which

are not supplied with this product. These should be constructed from

metal and not plastic.

If a concealed gas connection is to be made ensure the gas supply pipe

is in it’s final position and can enter the appliance in the correct position

when the appliance is hung on the wall.

Insert the wall mounting screws into the top wall plugs, taking care to

leave the screws protruding approximately 3/8” from the wall. Now hang

the appliance onto these screws through the two keyhole shaped holes

in the back panel of the appliance.
