Note: Ensure that the gas supply is isolated before commencing installa-
tion of the appliance.
The fireplace opening and environment must be in compliance with specifications
laid down in the appropriate sections of these instructions. Remove the appliance
from the carton as described previously and stand on a dust sheet or similar. Place
the coals/pebbles, ceramics and fixings safely to one side. Remove the burner from
the assembly by removing the two screws retaining the tray legs. The tray is now free
and may be lifted away.
SPIGOT RESTRICTOR :
If fitting the fire into a Class 1 or good Class 2 flue, attach the spigot restrictor to
the rear of the appliance using screws provided as shown in figures 3 and 4. If spillage
is detected during the commissioning of the appliance, the spigot restrictor should
be removed immediately.
SUPPLY PIPE ENTRY :
Knockout holes are provided in the rear and sides of the firebox for use where con-
cealed pipework is required. Where necessary, knock out the appropriate hole with
a sharp tap from a hammer, and fit the rubber grommet supplied. A small incision can
now be made in the rubber to slip snugly around the outside of the pipe and sleev-
ing. Do not install or use the appliance without the seal in place. If a hole is
inadvertently opened, reseal with an intact grommet. Failure to fit the seal correctly
will cause flue suction to act upon the area under the burner, resulting in poor per-
formance and intermittent cutting out of the burner.
SEALING STRIPS :
Apply the self adhesive sealing strips to the back
of the fireframe as shown in figure 5 to give a
continuous seal.
SLIDE CONTROL MODELS : The control
knob is supplied as a loose part. Insert the control
knob into the hole in the top of the slide control
spindle (Figure 6). Secure the control knob in posi-
tion using the M4 nyloc nut provided. Affix the Slide
control position marking sticker on the trim next
to the control knob as shown in figure 16.
Before installing the fire, check the flue using a smoke pellet. All of the smoke should travel up the flue and exit correctly from the ter-
minal.
If problems are found, DO NOT fit the fire until corrective action is completed. Protect the decorative hearth whilst pushing the fire-
box in and out of the opening. Part of the packaging will make an ideal hearth saver pad. Before running the gas supply into the open-
ing, offer up the firebox to the fireplace to check the fit is good.
Ensure that it slides in correctly, the sealing face sits flat and square to the wall or infill panel, and that the base is firm on the floor of
the opening as no leaks are permissible here. At this stage it is essential to ensure that the spigot outlet of the fire is not restricted in
any way. Remove the firebox and take any necessary measurements before making good and preparing for final installation.
CABLE FIXING :
For fixing of the fire by the cable method, see the relevant section. The cable fixing locations should be marked on the back of the open-
ing and the holes drilled. Fit the wall plugs and eyebolts to these holes.
SCREW FIXING :
For fixing by screw, mark and drill the fireframe or base, and the relevant points in the opening or on the wall. wall plugs will again be
required. Pre-punched holes are not provided for this purpose to allow you to choose the optimum positions.
GAS SUPPLY :
Following preparation for the fixing method, the concealed gas supply, where required, can now be put into place. Refer to the gas sup-
ply section for suggested pipe routes. The ends of the sleeving in which the gas pipe is run should be sealed. The ends of the 8mm sup-
ply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent the ingress of debris during fixing.
PLEASE NOTE: Ensure fire can be removed for ease of servicing and not silconed
