should be drawn up the flue and exit correctly from the terminal.

fit the fire until corrective measures have been completed. Protect the
decorative hearth whilst pushing the convector box in and out of the opening. Part of the packaging or
a dust sheet can be used.
Before running the gas supply into the opening, offer up the convector box to the fireplace to check
the fit is good. Ensure that it slides in correctly, the sealing face sits flat and square to the wall or back
panel, and that the base level with the hearth as no leaks are permissible here.
At this stage it is essential to ensure that the spigot outlet of the fire is not obstructed in any way.
Remove the fire box and apply the self-adhesive sealing strips around the edge of the rear of the
firebox frame, approximately 5mm in from the edge.
CABLE FIXING:
Using the template provided, place this within the opening with the bottom edge of the template level
with the hearth.
Drill 4 x 6mm holes through the template as shown in the diagram and fit the Rawlplugs and screw
eyes supplied.

You can now decide where to route your gas pipe, knock
out holes are provided in the rear and side of the fire box
for use where concealed pipe work is required.
Knock out the holes with a screwdriver and a sharp tap
from a hammer and fit the rubber grommet supplied.
The position of the isolation tap may change depending
on the model being fitted.
Note: DO NOT install or use the appliance without this seal in place,
Failure to fit this seal correctly will cause the flue suction to act upon the area under
the burner tray resulting in poor performance, and overheating of this area.
