FIXING THE FIRE
It is very important that a good seal is achieved between the back of
the Fire’s outer frame and the front of the fireplace back panel for
safety reasons and to achieve maximum efficiency. Take the self
adhesive silicone sealing strip from the fitting kit and neatly apply to
the back flanges of the Fire’s outer frame, cutting to the appropriate
lengths as required. To ensure there is a good seal between the
base of the fire and the bottom of the fireplace opening apply a
350mm length of self adhesive silicone sealing strip under the base
of the fire at the front edge.
