Fireplace Clearance
The fire must sit forward 20mm from the brickwork. This is for the plasterboard
that will be added later to finish the installation and create a letterbox style.
Position the enclosure in the opening so there is a minimum clearance of 10mm
on each side and 10mm at the top. This allows minor adjustment. This void
should be sealed with a suitable fire retardant material to seal the enclosure to
the opening.
Once installed in the opening the fire must be fixed down to the fireplace
opening using screws and plugs. This can be done by removing the vanity cover
and drilling through the base. Take care not to damage the connections or gas
pipes while drilling.
