PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
X-FIRE 1000 models
1. Firstly remove the glass panel from
the appliance by removing the four M6
retaining screws. Remove the two
retaining screws on each side of the
upper grille and remove the grille from
the outer casing.
2. Remove the two retaining wing nuts
from the retaining studs that protrude
into the lower part of the main firebox
as shown.
The control knob is located on the lower
right hand side of the outer casing, and
is mounted in an indicator bracket,
which has a metallic indication ‘pip’.
Both the knob and the indicator bracket
should be removed as follows;
3. Remove the retaining pin from the
gas valve spindle and withdraw the con-
trol knob and the spindle extension
from the right hand side of the appli-
ance.
4. Remove the four retaining screws
and the indicator bracket. The firebox
may now be detached from the outer
casing.

1. Remove the wall mounting plate from
the back of the appliance firebox by
removing the two retaining wing nuts
from the retaining studs that protrude
into the lower part of the main firebox.
FIXING THE
APPLIANCE
It is recommended that the burner
height, where possible, should be
between 1.0 and 1.2 metres from the
floor. This will give the best viewing
position. After selecting the final mount-
ing position of the appliance, taking into
account the site requirements as speci-
fied in section 4 of these instructions,
the integrity of the wall, and the feasi-
bility of the proposed supply pipe rout-
ing, the firebox of the appliance may be secured to the wall.
Due to the weight of the front facia, it is possible to fix the outer casing to the wall in up to nine (X-Fire 1000 models), or
fifteen (X-Fire widescreen models) positions, depending on the strength/condition of the wall.
If in doubt always use
extra fixings!
Use a spirit level to ensure that the outer casing is level at all times during installation.
If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity wall, or a solid wall, drill four holes using a
8mm masonry bit, to a depth of 42mm. Insert the wall plugs provided. If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined
wall or a timber framed construction wall then special cavity screw fixings will be required which are not supplied with this
product. These should be constructed from metal and not plastic.
Insert the screws into two of the upper holes, leaving 5mm protruding from the wall. Temporarily hang the outer casing
on the wall, and mark any additional fixing points as required. If the appliance is to be fitted to a lightly coloured wall, it
is advantageous to paint this wall area with black or dark paint in the vicinity of the lower rectangular slots on the outer
casing. This will mask the wall when viewed from the front of the appliance. Ensure paint is fully dry before mounting the
appliance. Use the outer casing as a template to mark this area on the wall. Remove the outer casing from the wall and
drill holes for the additional fixing points as required. Insert either wall plugs or cavity screw fixings as required. Re-posi-
tion the outer casing on the wall and using a spirit level to check the casing is square and level, tighten all of the fixing
screws fully.
Now, with the outer casing fixed to the wall, the main firebox can be secured in position.
X-
Fire 1000 models :
The firebox is held on the outer casing using four studs and two normal
nuts (upper fixings) and two wing nuts (lower fixings). Make sure that the upper nuts are un-
screwed approximately one turn from the fully tightened position in order to create a 2mm
gap as shown. The firebox may now be hung onto the top studs, and then pushed onto the
lower studs so that the lower studs protrude through the lower fixing holes in the back panel
of the firebox.
X-Fire widescreen models :
The firebox is held on the wall mounting plate
using three hooks (upper fixings) and two wing nuts (lower fixings).Hang the firebox off the
three upper hooks and tighten the lower fixing wing nuts on to the lower fixing studs fully.

Re-fit the grille, the indicator bracket and the control knob and spindle, and secure in position using
the correct fixing screws (re-fitting is the opposite of removal as detailed in section 7.0 of these instructions).
