The firebox front when installed must be flush with the finished fireplace surround 
and on a level base of the same height as the finished floor protector.  This may be 
achieved by using a concrete mix to level the base.

Slide the firebox into the opening so that the outer casing return folds are flush with 
the finished fireplace surround.

It is important to anchor the fire box down in case of movement. Restraint points 
are provided through the fires two front legs.

As this fire sources its combustion air from the chimney cavity/enclosure, 

the Fire 

MUST be sealed around the front between the casing and the masonry.  This 
is  achieved  by  packing  the  yellow  ISB  insulation  supplied  between  the     
casing and the masonry at the FRONT ONLY to maximum depth of 80mm. As 
shown on pages 9 and 10.

  Assemble and fit the fascia as per instructions on the relevant pages 27

NOTE:  

 

           In  the  case  of  some  insert  fires  into  existing  masonry  fireplaces  it  may  be     

necessary  to  install  additional  ventilation  into  the  chimney  cavity  as  per     
AS/NZ 2918 3.4.1.2 to assist air flow into the fire. This ventilation should not 
be taken/drawn from the room that the fire is installed in.
