8. Drill a hole into the fireplace floor through
each of the two holes in the base of the
convection box using a suitably sized
masonry drill for the fibre / wooden plugs
supplied (See figure 22).
9. Insert a fibre / wooden plug into each hole.
Use the fibre / wooden plugs supplied with
this appliance -
Never use plastic plugs
instead of the fibre / wooden plugs
supplied
. Fit a wood screw in each plug and
tighten.
Always screw the base into position
before applying tension to the cables. This will
ensure a tight seal between the top of the
convection box and wall.
10.
Fit a cable retainer over the bottom end of
each cable (See figure 23).
11. Pull each cable taut. Push the cable retainers
hard up against the convection box flanges.
Tighten the screws in the retainers so that they
clamp the cables in position. Apply tension to the
cables by turning the hexagonal adjusters by hand
(See figure 23).
12. Inspect the installation of the convection box
against the fireplace surround. If the convection
box is aligned squarely and the sealing is
satisfactory, fully tighten the cable retainers.
13. Push the free length of the cables
through the adjacent holes in the convection
box so that they are available to allow easy
removal and refitting of the appliance during
subsequent service calls (See figure 23).
10.3 Floor sealing.
Using the floor sealing tape supplied, seal
the bottom of the convection box to the
fireplace and hearth floor (See figure 24). DO
NOT COVER THE INFORMATION LABEL.
10.4 Sealing convection box holes.
The rear, inner sides and front flanges of the convection box have small holes and
openings that will allow room air to pass into the fireplace opening / flue box opening.
Although these holes are no cause for concern it is important to seal them to optimise
the performance of the fire. An additional length of tape is supplied with the fire, use
