PREPARATION OF APPLIANCE AND FIXING METHOD
6.1
Unpack the appliance and ensure it is correctly
marked for the gas it is to be used with (see data badge).
Take the appliance components and lay them out in an
ordered manner. To prevent damage to the decorative
frame and ceramic fire bed components (logs) place
safely to one side.
6.2
Remove the 3 screws in the top front vent panel
and lift to remove the glass panel from its top edge and
withdraw the glass from the lower location point.
6.3

retaining platform and slide out the complete burner and
control assembly.

6.4
Remove the appropriate knockout from the side or rear of the fire box for the gas supply pipe
and fit the supplied rubber grommet. Make a small incision in the grommet for the gas supply pipe.
If using a cavity box, prepare the appropriate grommet hole to align with the one in the firebox.

Methods of Fixing Appliance
The fire box can be fixed in position by any or a combination of the following methods. Provision for
these should be made when planning the installation. It is not acceptable to leave the appliance
unsecured, it could be dislodged or topple causing accident or injury.
IMPORTANT - Closure plate tape, adhesives, silicone and foam seals are unsuitable for fixing and
sealing the fire into place. A mechanical fixing is required. The use of sealants and adhesives is not
recommended as these may give off fumes when heated and stain fireplace parts & decor. Use one
or a combination of the methods detailed.
Method A -
Fixing to the wall or fireplace back panel.
Note - It is
not
recommended to use this method if the fireplace back panel material is marble or tile,
as cracking may result when drilling.
Push the fire box into the opening and centralise. Mark on the wall the position of the 4 holes in the
fire box frame (Fig. 5). Withdraw the fire box, drill and plug the holes in the wall and re-fit the fire box
whilst feeding the gas supply pipe into the appliance. Using suitable No.8 or No.10 wood screws, fix
the appliance in place.
Method B -
Using the eye bolts and cable fixing kit supplied.
Note - This method can be used when there is sufficient space (at least 35 mm) behind the fire box
and the rear of the fire place opening, ensuring it is non-combustible and suitably solid.
Drill 4 holes and fit the wall plugs and eye bolts in the rear of the fire place opening as detailed in Fig.5.
Feed the fixing cables through the holes either side of the rear top of the appliance. Feed the cables
through the eye bolts & then through the holes in the back of the appliance.
Push the appliance into the opening and pull the cable through. Slide a tensioning bolt over each cable
& then slide a screwed nipple on to each cable, pull the cable tight and tighten up the screwed nipple.
The appliance can now be pulled up to the opening by adjusting the tension on the cable via the wing
nut on the tensioning bolt.
Coil up the excessive cable, DO NOT CUT. If cut, it will not be possible to re-fit the appliance when
removed without obtaining new cables.
