Assembling the fireplace insert’s firebox

The fireplace insert firebox is supplied in a heavy duty 
carton and is secured to a timber pallet. Having removed 
the cardboard, timber and polystyrene packaging and 
familiarised yourself with Diagram 1 on page 2, proceed 
as follows: -

•  Remove from within the firebox the plastic bag 

containing the bolt kit, two firebricks wrapped in a 
cardboard wrapper and the top baffle assembly.

•  A “spacer” washer has been pre-fitted and taped to 

the top door hinge pin on the left hand side of the 
firebox (Refer Inset A, Diagram 1) remove this tape. 

•  Take the boxed door you previously removed from the 

centre of the fascia and unpack it. Taking the door in 
both hands with the spindle end in your right hand and 
outer face of the door facing you, attach the door to 
the firebox as follows: -

-   With the door in a 45 degrees open position, allow the 

lower hinge pin on the bottom left hand side of the 
firebox to pass into the hole provided in the bottom of 
the door frame.

-   Lift the door until the top of the door frame passes over 

the top hinge pin, then align the hole provided on the 
top face of the door frame and lower it down over the 
top hinge pin.

-   Take the door handle from the plastic bag and screw it 

onto the door spindle by turning it clockwise.

•  Unwrap the two firebricks from the cardboard wrapper 

and fit the side bricks to each side of the firebox. 
Location lugs are fitted to the base and rear of the 
firebox to retain the side bricks in position, refer 
Diagram 3 on the opposing page.

•  Remove the “cabinet top” which is packed inverted 

on top of the firebox and fit it into position “over” the 
cabinet sides as detailed in Diagram 1. Ensure the rear 
edge is fitted correctly as shown in Diagram 1, Inset 
“B”. The rear edge of the cabinet top must fit “into” the 
slot provided. Using two of the self tapping screws from 
the plastic bag, secure the cabinet top in place. Note, 
this panel can be fitted at two height’s, if the height of 
the fireplace opening will allow, fit the cabinet top in 
the higher position, fit screws from “inside” the cabinet 
facing out.

•  Ensure the insulating blanket is in position on the top of 

the cabinet. 

•  Remove the four speed clip nuts from the plastic bag 

and fit them to the holes provided in the front edge of 
the cabinet as shown in Diagram 1. 

•  Next you need to fit the top baffle, refer to Diagram 

3 on the opposing page 5 and proceed with the 
instructions below that apply to the model you are 
assembling: -

fitted to its front top surface. Fit this rear baffle through the 
door opening and into position in the upper chamber of 
the firebox. It is supported on the rear four support lugs 
and must be hard back against the rear of the firebox with 
the locating pin facing upward and towards the front.
