Installation – Page 4
PREPARATION
(a)
Where the closure plate is more than adequate in
height to cover the fireplace opening, trim a minimum of
35mm (1
3
/
8
in) from the top of the closure plate to
prevent the sealing tape being seen above the fire.
Where the closure plate is inadequate to cover the
fireplace opening completely or where it is required for
the sake of appearance a NON-COMBUSTIBLE infill
panel or surround may be used. The infill panel should
be provided with a rectangular opening at least 508mm
(20in) high by 305mm (12in) wide and must be
Securely fixed and sealed to the wall to prevent air
leakage into the flue.
(b)
Fit the closure plate centrally across the fire opening
and seal all four edges but ensure that the ventilation
hole at the bottom of the closure plate is not covered
and that the floor behind the closure plate does not
restrict the ventilation hole.
(c)
Apply a lighted taper, match or smoke match to the flue
spigot opening in the closure plate before fitting the fire.
If there is a definite flow into the opening in the closure
plate, proceed with the installation. If there is not a
definite flow into the opening; pre-heat the chimney for
a few minutes then re-check for the flue pull. If there is
still no definite flow into the flue spigot opening in the
closure plate the chimney may require attention. DO
NOT FIT THE FIRE - SEEK EXPERT ADVICE.
HEARTH FIXING
Fireplace or Surround
(a)
Fit the fire backing plate to the fire using the M5 x 8mm
thread forming screws provided. The backing plate may
be screwed to the wall for extra support if necessary
(Fig. 6).
(b)
Position the fire (minus the outer case) against the
closure plate and determine the position of the gas
connection.
(c)
Adjust the feet to level the fire (Fig.7). Check that the
fire is sufficiently stable.
WALL FIXING
(a)
Fit the two wall mounting brackets using the four No. 8
x
3

Mark the position of the bottom two fixing screws then
drill and plug the wall (Fig. 4).
(d)
Fix two No. 8 x 1 ½ in screws into the wall leaving 3 -
4mm (
1
