4. Preparing the engine

Masonry installation

Foam sealing strip

Front assy. 

mounting panel

20 mm from 

top edge

Gas/electrical 

access plate

1. Prepare site

: Ensure the 

enclosure meets the dimension 
requirements and check the 
gas and electrical supplies have 
been prepared according to the 
information in this guide.

2. Unpack engine

: The Compact 

2 engine is supplied in one 
carton. Check for damage and 
ensure you have the correct 
gas type before starting. Do not 
install if any damage is evident.

3. Install flue

: Install flexiliner 

flue if applicable, refer next page 
for an overview of how the flue is 
assembled and connected to the 
unit.

4. Prepare engine: 

Attach the 

adhesive backed foam sealing 
strip (supplied) to the rear face 
of the front assembly mounting 
panel at approximately 20 mm 
from the top edge.

The foam strip forms a seal 

between the heater and the 
fireplace brickwork. If an 
adequate seal cannot be formed 
then another means of sealing 
must be used (non-combustible 
insulation or heat resistance 
silicon).

Unscrew the five screws securing 
the gas/electrical plate and put 
aside.

5. Connect flue adaptor

Connect the flue adaptor to the 
flexiliner flue.

6. Position engine

: Place the 

Compact 2 engine in front of the 
fireplace enclosure. Use a panel 
of the cardboard packaging 
underneath the engine to 
minimise damage to the floor.

7.  Connect electrical supply

Plug in the 3-pin connector of 
electrical connection inside the 
fireplace.

8. Insert unit into fireplace

Carefully move the heater into 
the fireplace ensuring the gas 
supply pipe and fittings feed into 
the rear access hole. Connect the 
flue (refer next page).

9. Connect gas supply

: Connect 

gas supply pipe and fittings to 
the gas control valve inlet and 
tighten.

10. Leak test

: Leak test all 

appliance connections. When 
finished remove any residue with 
a rag. Prevent any soapy solution 
coming into contact with the 
electrical components.

11. Secure:

 Fasten the heater to 

the masonry using appropriate 
fasteners (not supplied). There 
are three holes across the top of 
the front assembly mounting and 
side panels.

12. Complete installation

: Refer 

to instructions on p. 18.

5. Connecting the flue adaptor

6. Positioning the engine

11. Securing the heater

Adapt instructions as necessary for masonry installations without a flexiliner flue.
