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.
Ensure there are no walls, studs,
noggins, ceiling joints, wiring,
or other obstructions within the
wall or ceiling cavity where the
flue is to be located.
2. Assemble zero clearance
box
: Refer separate assembly
instructions included with the
zero clearance box.
3. Fit zero clearance box
: Slide
assembled box into the cavity,
ensuring the gas and electrical
supplies are accessible.
4. Install flue : Install flue kit
and/or components, refer p. 22
for an overview of how all the
components fit together.
5. 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.
6. Prepare engine : Attach the
flue guide rails, supplied with
the zero clearance box, to the
top of the heater engine using
the four predrilled holes and
screws supplied.
Remove and put aside the flue
access plate and gas/electrical
plate.
7. Fit cladding : Before installing
the heater ensure the cladding
for the front of the enclosure
has been fitted. The cladding
MUST BE installed flush with
the zero clearance box. Failure
to do this will cause alignment
problems with the flue.
8. Connect flue adaptor :
Connect the flue adaptor* to
the engine by aligning the guide
rails with the guide plate* of
the flue adaptor. Slide the flue
adaptor in until the guide plate
is fully home against the rear of
the flange of the heater at the
top of the heater.

Use a panel of the cardboard
packaging underneath the

of the flue should not be
supported by the appliance,
it should be self-supporting.
Supporting the flue is usually
completed during the framing
stage with flue supports or
straps within the cavity.
13. Secure flue

flue access plate and secure the
guide plate of the flue adaptor
to the flue access plate with the
two screws supplied.
Secure access plate to the
heater.

fittings to the gas control valve
inlet and tighten.

heater to the cladding using
appropriate fasteners (not
supplied). There are three holes
across the top of the front
assembly mounting panel, and
side panels.
