When the opening is ready for installation of the fire, the gas supply may be routed as per the examples shown in figure 7.
Wherever a concealed connection is made a rubber grommet must be used to seal the firebox.The gas pipe must be suitably protected
where it passes through fireplace openings. Any sleeving should be sealed to the pipe at its ends. This appliance is fitted with an inlet restric-
tor elbow. Using 8mm diameter pipe, connect the appliance to the gas supply point. The appliance must be fitted with rigid or semi-rigid pipe
of 8mm external diameter. The appliance is factory fitted with an inlet restrictor elbow. Use a minimum length of 8mm pipe, less than 1.5m
where possible, as a long run of pipe may cause an unacceptable drop in the supply pressure. The open end of the supply pipe should be
sealed temporarily during the installation to prevent the ingress of dirt and dust.
Soldered joints are not recommended.
Drill four holes using a 8mm masonry bit to a depth of 42mm in the positions shown in figure 8. If the fireplace configuration does not allow
the exact layout given, the eyebolts should be
positioned as close to the correct layout as
possible. Before finally fitting cables, ensure the
self adhesive sealing strips are in position on
the back of the appliance frame. The fireframe
must be sealed evenly to the fireplace opening
all around the periphery. Thread the tensioning
cables through the holes in the top of the fire-
box, then the eyelets, and finally through the
lower holes in the back of the firebox, as shown
in figure 9. Note : The burner must be
removed as per relevant section to gain access
to the cable adjusters. Push the appliance back
into the fireplace, centralise, and pull the loose
tensioning cables through the holes into the
firebox.
Thread the tensioner bolts onto the cables,
with the nuts screwed down close to the ten-
sioner head. Slide the screwed nipple onto the
cable, pull cable tight, and tighten nipple. The
tension of the cable may now be adjusted by using a suitable spanner on the tensioner nuts to pull the
appliance tightly against the fireplace opening. Visually inspect the seal and reseat if necessary. Do not
cut off excess cable. Surplus cable must not be cut off, as it will be impossible to refit the fire after
servicing. Coil up the surplus cable, and locate at rear of firebox.
Temporarily fit the burner tray and ensure a suitable gas route can be achieved. Place the burner tray into the firebox making sure that the
rear lugs locate properly on to the ledge in the firebox.
Manual and remote control models : Fit the two securing screws through the tray legs to secure the assembly.
Slide control models : Fit the four securing screws - two through the
tray rear first and then two through the legs of the tray to secure the assem-
bly - see figure 10. Reconnect the slide mechanism by replacing the M4 nut and
serrated washer on the assembly.
All models : Connect the gas supply and tighten the gas connections. Fit the
deflector baffle to
the two locations
on the front face of
the firetray as
shown in figure 11.
Screws are provid-
ed for this purpose.
The baffle should
be level with the
lower edge of the
tray. Place contemporary firefront in front of the fire temporarily to check the
angle of the baffle. The front should fit well and the control devices beneath should
not be visible to the eye. Realign the baffle slightly if necessary to achieve the cor-
rect fit.
Purge the gas supply thoroughly to remove air and dirt/debris BEFORE connec-
tion. Now disconnect the inlet restrictor elbow from the inlet pipe.
Connect the previously installed gas supply to inlet restrictor elbow, and re-fit the
restrictor elbow to the inlet pipe of the appliance.
