FLUE PREPARATION
When all the preparation work has been completed for whichever method of installation has been
chosen, and with the fire surround fitted, take the appliance and slide the round flue section over
the spigot on the rear of the fire. Protect any decorative hearth with a dust sheet or similar, place
the appliance in position with the flue section protruding through the wall(s) to the outside. Make
sure the firebox is fully pushed home before marking two fixing holes in the base of the firebox.
Outside the property, mark a line on the flue tube level with the outer surface of the wall, where
it protrudes through.
Remove the firebox from the location and slide off the flue section. If the fan terminal is to mount-
ed directly on the the outside wall, cut the flue tube to length along the marked line.
If the ter-
minal is to be recessed into the outer wall, a second line should be marked 85mm back
towards the appliance.
The flue tube should then carefully be cut to length along the relevant
line. Do not remove the ceramic insulation. File off any rough edges and slide back on to the appli-
ance spigot ensuring the ‘O’ ring remains seated in its channel. Slide the Rockwool jacket into
place over the flue section, this may be secured with aluminium tape. With a suitable drill bit,
make the two previously marked holes in the base of the firebox, drilling down through into the
non-combustible hearth. Fit two rawl plugs into the holes.
FIREBOX AND BURNER TRAY
The mains electrical supply cable exits from the rear of the appliance and the FIXED FUSED SPUR
(fused at 3 Amp) should be arranged to allow easy connection.
Stand the appliance in front of the opening and feed the fan wiring harness through the hole
drilled in the wall. You may find this easier if a short length of plastic conduit is first fitted to the
hole. The cable must run outside of the insulating jacket, and be arranged so that is does not
touch any hot surfaces. Feed the mains cable through to the location of the fixed fused spur.
Depending on the location of the 8mm gas supply, feed through the back of the firebox and fit
the grommet seal (if applicable). Now carefully slide the appliance back into position and secure
into place using the two previously drilled holes. Ensure the flue unit has passed correctly through
the wall.
Note: If using an over hearth gas supply, the route of the pipe should be located through the
purpose provided cutouts (if applicable) on the decorative firefront supplied with the appli-
ance.
Place the burner tray near to the firebox and connect the three-way plug from the control box to
the safety solenoid mounted on the burner. Connect the gas supply to the entry point on the gas
valve. Secure the burner tray into position with the two screws though the burner legs.
FITTING THE FAN TERMINAL
The external fan terminal can now be fitted. This comprises three parts, the wall fan box section,
the cover and the trim frame (only used for recessed mounting). At this point, the trim must be
fitted to the fan box unit if the terminal is to be recessed into the wall. Remove the four self tap-
ping screws from the sides of the fan box, and slide the trim frame over the box with the fixing
flanges facing into the wall. Secure with the four screws and proceed to fit the terminal as
described below.
Offer up the fan unit and feed the connecting cable through the entry hole in the wall plate. It may
be advantageous to remove the rubber grommet in the entry hole to aid insertion of the wires and
refit afterwards. Run the connectors through the entry hole, then feed them through the grommet,
before finally refitting the grommet to the entry hole.
Note: The grommet MUST be refitted in order to prevent damage to the fan wiring harness.
Installing the fan terminal by surface mounting on the outside wall
Slide the fan unit on to the previously installed flue pipe. Mark the four fixing screw positions on
the wall, and drill the 5mm securing holes into the brickwork. Affix the fan terminal to the wall
with the rawl plugs and screws provided. A bead of silicone weather sealant, or similar suitable
sealant should be applied along the top edge, and down the two sides of the terminal where it
meets the wall, to prevent the ingress of water. Any excess sealant should be wiped away.
