8. CONVECTION BOX INSTALLATION
8.1
Method 1 - Front Fixing to Fireplace Surround
This method is not advised where the appliance is to be fitted against a marble
surround due to the danger of the marble cracking when drilling.
However, if this method must be used with a marble surround, take extreme care and
be aware that it is unwise to attempt to drill into marble without the proper tools and
equipment.
1
. Make sure that the fireplace front surround area is sound enough to take the rawlplugs
and woodscrews. If necessary, make sound with a suitable cement.
2.
Place the convection box centrally in the fireplace in the position in which it is to be
permanently installed feeding the supply pipe through the pierced hole in the rear seal.
3.
Mark the fireplace front surround through
the four fixing holes in the side flanges of the
convection box. See figure 7.
4
. Remove the convection box. Drill four
holes in the fireplace front surround at the
marked positions using a no.12 masonry drill.
5
. Insert a rawlplug into each hole.
6
. Place the convection box back in position
in the fireplace.
7
. Fit a woodscrew through each hole in the
convection box flanges and tighten to seal the
box to the fireplace surround.
8.2
Method 2 - Cable Retention
1
. Make sure that the relevant areas at the
fireplace back are sound enough to take the eyebolts. If these areas have deteriorated due
to prolonged use they should be made sound with a suitable cement.
2
. Drill two holes in the rear wall of the fireplace for the eyebolt plugs. The holes should
be drilled in the positions shown in figure 8 using a no.12 masonry drill. 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 convection box 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 convection box. Insert the convection box into the fireplace
feeding the supply pipe through the pierced hole in the rear grommet.
