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 retainers.

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
retainers back against the back panel.
Again, tighten the screws in the
retainers 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.

9.3

Floor Sealing (All

Installations)

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.
