PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
6.1
Unpack the heater (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 frame, fret, coals and ceramic fire bed components can
be placed safely to one side. Note how the frame attaches onto the fire with internal tags
that clip over the glass fixing brackets to make refitting easier.
6.2
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE APPLIANCE WITH BROKEN/DAMAGED GLASS OR COALS.

6.3
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.
6.4
Drill and fit cable fixing positions in accordance with diagram 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 taught as there is no risk of spillage.
6.5
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
through lower holes and push fully back into place and secure. Note if the fire opening /
hearth are not level it may be necessary to remedy this or pack under the appliance base
to prevent the top of it leaning away from the fireplace.
6.6
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.
6.7
Site the thermostat at a suitable position where it will sense the room temperature. (It is
wrapped around the thermostat knob for transit purposes only). We recommend that the
sensing bulb is moved from the right hand side to the left hand side of the fire and clipped
to the gas inlet pipe. This will keep it cool and prevent premature shutdown. It can be
moved into the room for more accurate sensing if required.
