STEP 5: POSITIONING OF THE UNIT
Place the firebox into position on top of the sheet metal.
Remember to leave a 50mm air gap on all sides of the firebox.
If the unit is to be installed without legs please refer to vents in
the preliminary install guide.
*IMPORTANT*
There MUST be a minimimum of 150mm clearance between the
base and the bottom of the unit.
STEP 4: ASSEMBLY OF LEGS
If your installation requires the unit be elevated, install the
appliance legs at this stage. Ensure the legs are adjusted and
fixed at this stage.
*IMPORTANT*
Refer to appliance legs installation in the preliminary install
section.
*IMPORTANT* RELEASING GLASS DOOR
Prior to continuing with installation ensure you release the
glass door. First remove pins located on either side of the unit,
then proceed to slowly lower the door from its factory position.
You should now be able to open and close the door.

STEP 5A: OUTDOOR AIR KIT
(OPTIONAL)
Any depression or lack of fresh air within the room where the
fireplace is located can cause emanation of smoke to flow
back into the room and the unit to run inefficiently. It is highly
recommended that an Outdoor Air Kit be installed in six or
more star rated homes, or any install where a mechanical
device (ie. fan), takes air from the fireplace cavity & transfers
it.
Place the adaptor underneath the unit and feed through the
bottom and attach to the internal front adaptor. Attach the flexi
flue to the adaptor and run to the external brick wall at the rear
of the unit, then proceed to connect the metal vermin proof
cowl onto the outside wall.
The flexi flue can be positioned either side of the adaptor in
order to fit between the heater and the wall. It is not required
that the flexi flue be positioned directly behind the firebox.
*IMPORTANT*
Refer to Air Kit installation in the preliminary install section.
