8. Fitting The Facia - Page 11

a)

Loosen the 2 facia fixing bracket screws
(1 each side) located at the bottom of the convector box
and slide the brackets towards the centre of the
appliance. Temporarily re-tighten the screws.

b)

Lift the facia and position it centrally on the convector
box ensuring that the 2 lugs at the top of the facia locate
in the 2 holes at the top of the convector box.

c)

Loosen the 2 facia fixing bracket screws, slide the fixing
brackets back towards the facia and hook the 'Claws'
onto the ridges on the inside of the facia. Tighten the
screws sufficiently to bring the facia parallel to the
fireplace wall.

Note:

 Removal is the opposite of installation.

NSTALLER

At this stage mark the appropriate facia type box on the data
