9.

Pull each cable taut. Push the cable adjusters

hard up against the back panel. Tighten the

screws in the adjusters so that they clamp the

cables in position. Apply tension to the cables by

turning the hexagonal adjusters by hand (See

figure 17).

10.

Inspect the installation of the hotbox against

the fireplace surround. If the hotbox is aligned

squarely and the sealing is satisfactory, fully

tighten the cable adjusters.

11.

If the hotbox is not correctly aligned, release

the tension on the cables by slackening the

screws and turning the hexagonal adjusters fully

anticlockwise. The hotbox should then

automatically realign itself. Pull each cable taut

again and push the cable adjusters back against

the back panel. Again, tighten the screws in the

adjusters and apply tension to the cables by

turning the hexagonal adjusters clockwise as far

as possible.

12. 

Do not cut off any excess cable, instead coil

up the cable so that they are available to allow

easy removal and refitting of the appliance

during subsequent service calls.

10.3 Floor sealing. 

Using the floor sealing tape supplied, seal the

bottom of the hotbox to the fireplace and hearth

floor. Run the tape over the centre bracket (See

figure 18).
