15.4 - FITTING THE FIREBOX (With Riser Plate)
Reference should be made to the illustrations below.
a.
There is silicone sponge sealing strip already affixed to the relevant surfaces to ensure a good seal. Ensure this silicone sealing
strip stays in place during installation.
b.
When used in a fireplace the Fire is supplied with two factory-fitted 30mm riser channels which are required to raise the fire to
allow convection and cooling air to the appliance.
c.
A cable fixing system is supplied to secure the unit into the fireplace. The cable fixing system will also pull the unit tight back into
the fireplace to make a good seal. This is very important to ensure efficient operation of the fire.
d.
There are 2 cables supplied; 1 to be used each side of the unit. Working at 510mm centres in the builders opening drill the lower
holes 50mm up from the base and drill the higher holes 460mm up from the base see drawing below. Secure the 4 Eyebolts
supplied with the Rawlplugs to the back of the fireplace
.
Ensure the Eyebolts are fully screwed in.
e.
There are 2 cable attachment points on the top of the main casing; 1 each side at the rear. They are part of the folded lip of the
top section prize these up with a screwdriver to enable them to be used. Feed a cable downwards through each cable
attachment point.
f.
Protect the hearth against scratching with cardboard or a dust sheet and position the Fire on the protected hearth.
g.
Feed the cables though the eyebolts on either side and then through the hole in the back of the fire near the base
h.
Slide the Fire
part way
into the fireplace
(leaving it sticking out approximately 50mm) ensuring the gas supply pipe and isolation/
pressure test elbow clears through the cut out in the rear of the Fire and does not foul on the control.
i.
Lift the Fire slightly and slide it home ensuring that the sealing strips on the underside of the front riser channel and the rear of
the Fire outer frame stay in position to make a seal against the base of the fireplace and the fireplace back panel. While sliding
the unit into the fireplace opening pull on the excess cable.
j.
Referring to the illustrations below feed the cables through the two loose cable clamp brackets. The adjuster and lock screw can
now be fitted onto the cable and through the large hole in the cable clamp bracket. Position the brackets one either side of the
fire towards the bottom of the channel between the Main Casing and the Inner Fire Casing. By use of the adjuster and lock
screw tighten up the cable to tension the fire back into the fireplace. The fire should be secure and not liable to movement.
Sur plus fixing cable MUST NOT be cut off and must be tucked back through the small hole in the cable clamp bracket to keep it
well away from any electronics.
k.
If any of the silicone sealing strips are not compressed and/or if there are gaps they must be filled with a suitable sealant, fireclay
or high temperature silicone.
l.
Refit the burner mounting plate assembly by first putting the Receiver through the opening then tilt the assembly and slide it into
the fire and secure with the 4 screws. Take care not to mark the liners in the fire. Place the Receiver to the left side at the front.
m.
Connect the isolation/pressure test elbow to the control valve and with it fully open check the joint for gas soundness.
n.
Check that all gas connections are sound. The appliance has been factory tested; however the connections may have been
disturbed in transit or storage.
! IMPORTANT NOTE !
Always reseal the pressure test point and check that it is gas tight.
(This accounts for a lot of recalls.)
