PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
6.1
Unpack the appliance (see 2.0). Ensure appliance is correctly marked for the gas it is to be
used with. Take the appliance components and lay them out in an ordered manner. To
prevent damage the decorative trim, fret, coals and ceramic fire bed components can be
placed safely to one side. Note how the decorative trim attaches onto the fire with
internal tags that clip over the cut-outs in the glass rails to make refitting easier.
Cut-outs in glass rails Internal tag X 4 (typical)
To remove the decorative trim from the glass rails it must be first raised upwards by
approximately 5cm. & then pulled forwards.
6.2
To remove the glass, after removing the decorative trim, remove the 4 nuts in the glass
rails, pivoting it out from the bottom then remove glass from its top channel. Refitting is
done in reverse order.
6.3
Refit all decorative trims and fire front components before use. The decorative trim has
internal tags that simply locate over the cut outs in the glass rail. These tags can be bent
for adjustment if required. To refit lift the trim assembly up approximately 5cm above its
final location on the fire, press firmly back and then slide down until the internal tags clip
onto the enamelled glass rails.
6.4
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE APPLIANCE WITH BROKEN/DAMAGED GLASS OR COALS.

6.5
Decide upon the route for the gas supply
and if this is to be a concealed supply, select a
suitable hole in the fire box, remove the knockout and lay in the supply as required. Fit
the rubber grommet around the gas pipe entry to the appliance and seal.
We recommend
the cavity box is used wherever possible and only the corresponding hole in this should
be removed
. Note the supply can be either concealed through the holes in the appliance
sides and back or surface fitted over the hearth and where pipes pass through walls they
must be sleeved. If the gas pipe passes through a wall, cavity or un-vented void then there
should be no joins in this area and the pipes should be fully sleeved. Before pushing gas
pipes through walls, seal the pipe ends to prevent debris entering the pipes.
6.6
Drill and fit cable fixing positions in accordance with diagram at the end of this section or
alternatively drill and fit screws through base of firebox and cavity box. There are no
tensioners included as the wire does not need to be as taught as there is no risk of
spillage.
6.7
Slide cavity box over the back of the firebox, taking care to thread the fixing cables (if
used) through the back. Slide firebox (and cavity box) into fireplace opening thread cables
