9. HOTBOX INSTALLATION
9.1 Method 1 - Front fixing to fireplace surround.
1.
If this method of fixing is required the
front flange of the hotbox can be drilled in
the positions shown in figure 17 using a
suitably sized drill bit for the woodscrews
supplied. When drilling the right hand side
ensure that the screw heads / screw
positions do not obstruct the operation of the
slider control.
2.
Make sure that the fireplace front
surround area is sound enough to take the
fibre plugs and woodscrews. If necessary,
make sound with suitable cement.
3.
Place the hotbox centrally in the fireplace
in the position in which it is to be
permanently installed. If a concealed
connection is being used, insert the hotbox into the fireplace feeding the supply pipe
through the pierced hole in the rear grommet.
4.
Mark the fireplace front surround through the four holes in the side flanges of the
hotbox (See point 1 and figure 17).
5.
Remove the hotbox. Drill four holes in the fireplace front surround at the marked
positions using a suitably sized masonry drill for the fibre plugs supplied.
6.
Insert a fibre plug into each hole.
7.
Place the hotbox back in position in the fireplace.
8.
Fit a woodscrew through each hole in the hotbox flanges and tighten to seal the
box to the fireplace surround.
9.2 Method 2 - Cable retention and floor fixing.
1.
Make sure that the relevant areas at the fireplace back and floor are sound enough
to take the eyebolts and screws. If these areas have deteriorated due to prolonged
use they should be made sound with suitable cement.
2.
Drill four holes in the rear wall of the fireplace for the eyebolt plugs. The holes
should be drilled within the range of positions shown in figure 18 using a suitably
sized masonry drill for the fibre plugs supplied. The holes should be equidistant each
side of the centre line of the fireplace to ensure that the appliance finishes centrally in
the opening when tension is applied to the cables.
3.
Insert a fibre plug into each hole. Use the fibre plugs supplied with this appliance -
Never use plastic plugs instead of the fibre plugs supplied
.
Screw the eyebolts
into the plugs. Make sure that the bolts are secure.
4.
Place the hotbox unit close to the fireplace but allow sufficient access into the
fireplace opening so that the cables can be threaded through the eyebolts and
returned through the back of the hotbox. If a concealed connection is being used,
