INSTALLATION OF CATARINA 500 & 700 SUITES

CONTINUED

INSTALLATION

Please ensure that the manual with the gas fire and these instructions are thoroughly read before commencing

the installation. It is recommended that a “dry fix” is performed before committing to any permanent fixings.

It is essential to build up a platform using suitable fireproof materials to ensure that the fire can be situated at the

correct height. For the Pulsar, Corvar and Stratos, the platform should be level with the top of the hearth. For the

DL500, DL700 and DL800 the platform height should sit at 30mm above the hearth top surface and the front

flange of the fire should overhang the platform. See appliance instructions for further details on how to build the

platform.

The gas fire should be installed and sealed against the builders opening by a gas safe registered engineer

before the suite is built around it.
1.Centre, level and bed the hearth in position. Hearths must be bedded completely (no spot bedding) on a mix of

washed silver sand, white cement (snowcrete), and lime. Under no circumstances should grey cement, builders

sand, carlite bonding or similar be used as these products will discolour the stone. Allow the hearth bed to cure

sufficiently so as to avoid ‘slumping’ when weight is applied.
2. Fix the supplied brackets to the fixing blocks, mark the holes in the chimney breast and glue and screw the

legs to the wall (Fig. 52).
3. For the four-piece slip set - after measuring the correct position, fix the legs to the wall (Fig. 51). The slips can

then be placed in position, though not fixed. The back panel can now be centred and fixed using mastic or

suitable adhesive and the edges filled and sealed with lime mortar and finally back filled as necessary.
4. Next fix the header in place. The header is “close topped”, follow the procedure outlined for the shelf – see 5

below.
5. Glue the dowels (provided) into the holes in the rear of the shelf and closed header and offer the shelf (or

closed header) up into position, marking the location of the dowels on the wall. Drill 7mm diameter holes to

accept the dowels. Fully fill the dowel holes in the wall with glue and position the shelf (or closed header) in its

final location, gluing it to the rest of the fireplace and wall (Fig. 50 - previous page).

Hint – Some fitters do not fit the dowels first and use a spot of mastic in the hole in the shelf (or closed header)

in order to mark where to drill the holes in the wall, and then they will glue the dowels in place.

NOTES

6. Please ensure that you thoroughly mask visible areas of the fireplace before allowing glues or mastics to spill

as these will cause unsightly marks and cannot be removed from porous surfaces.
7. Incorrect installation could cause ‘staining’ or discolouration of the stone. These fireplaces should only be

installed by people who are fully trained and familiar with natural stone.
8. No responsibility will be accepted for incorrect installation, as this is the responsibility of the retail outlet.

CLEANING/FINISHING

Having completed the installation, the fireplace should be cleaned with warm soapy water. Any small

chips or scratches or stubborn stains can be remedied using 150 grit silicon carbide paper. If required the joints

can be grouted using a suitable coloured tile grout mixed with sanding dust from the stone, however this is

entirely at the discretion of the installer. This method can also be used to fill small chips, but requires trial and

error in order to match the colour accurately.
From time to time the fireplace should be cleaned and minor

repairs carried out and then sealed. Capital stone sealer is

recommended. This will protect the stone against most

accidental stains. This may darken the stone slightly.
