3.9.6. Installing the Firebox (all models)
1. With the firebox placed close to the
fireplace opening feed the two cables
through the matching eye screws (left
cable through left hand set of eyelets
and the same for right hand cable) and
then back into the holes at the bottom
rear of the firebox (see
Figure 74 ).
2. Remove the grommet from the gas inlet
slot on the firebox to allow for gas pipe to
come through.
3. Whilst pulling the cables, push the
firebox gently into the builders opening
(ensuring that the gas pipe emerges
from the rear slot) until the flange of the
firebox abuts the fire surround (or the
wall).
4. Feed each bare cable end into the hole
at the threaded end of the cable
tensioning screw (see
Figure 75 ).
5. Slide it all the way onto the cable and
through the 8mm diameter hole in the
firebox (If required, the cable tensioning
screw can be shortened to suit).
6. Whilst holding the cable tensioning
screw in the box pull the cable taught
and, without releasing the tension,
tighten the thumb screw firmly (see
Figure 75 ). Repeat this procedure with
the other cable.
7. To further tension the cable, turn the
wing nut clockwise while gripping the
tensioning screw.
8. Roll up the excess cable and tuck it
away. Do NOT CUT the excess cable.
