Select a suitable location for the fan cable junction
box. Fit the box and connect the cables as follows (see
figure 27):
8.12.1
Remove the screw from the centre of the junction
box. Remove the cover.
8.12.2
Place the junction box in position. Mark the wall
through the two holes in the box.
8.12.3
Drill the wall and fit the wall plugs supplied.
8.12.4
Fix the junction box to the wall with the two
screws provided.
8.12.5
If necessary shorten the cable attached to the fan
box to a suitable length so that it does not need to be coiled up.
8.12.6
Strip the ends of the wires. Cut the earth lead sleeve (yellow &
green) into two pieces so that they will cover the exposed ends of the
earth wires. Slide a length over the bare earth wire in each cable.
8.12.7
Connect the leads to the junction box as shown in figure 27.
Ensure that the colours of the leads in the fan cable connect with the
matching colours in the appliance cable.
8.12.8
Fit the cable clip over both cables as shown in figure 27. Place the
clip in position against the wall. Mark the wall through the fixing hole.
Move the cables and clip out of the way. Drill and plug the wall. Replace the
clip. Screw the clip to the wall making sure that the two cables are firmly
clamped. Refit the junction box cover.
8.13
When installed in a fire surround made of wood or other “combustible”
material, the ducting must be insulated from the surround where it passes
through the aperture in surround side. Wrap the insulating gasket round the
duct and secure with the sealing tape supplied as shown in figure 28.
8.14
For horizontal duct installations:
8.14.1
Size and cut the duct front covers and, if applicable, the elbow front
covers.
Note that the appliance end of the duct front cover should abut against the outside
face of the fireplace surround side. It does not go inside the surround.
8.14.2
Secure the covers in front of the ducts by springing them over the
location channels in the support brackets (see figure 29).
8.14.3
Where applicable, snap fit the joint covers over the joints between the
duct covers and snap fit elbow covers at the corners.
8.15
For vertical duct installations:
Normally a false chimney breast will be constructed to hide the ducting. The
duct front covers will not, therefore, be required for these installations, but
there must be at least 25mm space between the duct pipes and any combustible
surfaces. If, however, the ducting will be visible, fit the front covers as described
for horizontal installations (section 8.14).
8.16
Install the fireplace surround or complete the false chimney breast.
Important: The appliance must not be left with the customer in a condition where
it can be turned on unless the hearth and surround (or false chimney breast) are
completely installed.
8.17
The backing plates, front covers and joint covers can all be painted to suit
the room decor with any of the widely available primer and finishing paints
suitable for coating metal surfaces.
