Fixing -
The appliance should be secured to the wall using the fixing brackets on the flange of the
appliance. If it is to be mounted above the ground, care should be taken to ensure the wall is able
to take the weight of the appliance and that the fixings are of the correct type. Use all 6 screw
holes in the brackets to attach to the wall.
If the appliance is hearth mounted the
fixing is intended to prevent the
appliance from moving / toppling and it
is permissible just to use 2 holes in the
wall brackets or to drill through the
appliance base and screw it to the floor.
Alternatively,
hearth
mounted
appliances can use the cable fixing
method by fixing eyebolts to the wall or
fireplace behind and pulling it back into
place. See diagram
Do not fix the appliance directly to plasterboard as prolonged exposure to heat could affect it or
the vapour layer behind. A layer of heat resistant board should be screwed to the wall instead.
Fully purge pipes of air and any debris and connect the gas supply to the 8mm elbow on the fire.
Leak test the supply using an approved method. Note: An isolating valve must be situated near the
appliance for servicing.
Site the thermostat at a suitable position where it will sense the room temperature.
The case can be test fitted to the chassis to ensure clearance. The gap in the case top between
grille and spacer slides over the top flange on the appliance. The bottom of the case has folded out
brackets that slide over cut outs in the appliance chassis.
The door on the appliance is secured with a magnet and it may be necessary to adjust the strength
of the magnets grip. This can be done by bending the magnet holding bracket in or out to adjust.
Remove case and place to one side.
