decorative surfaces ,thread each of the cables vertically downwards through the pair of
fixing eyes on the same side of the fire ,then thread the free end of the cable through the
hole at the bottom rear of the appliance (the fire tray will have to be removed to do this if

Thread a tensioning screw over each of the cables and ensure that the tensioning nut is
screwed fully up against the hexagon shoulder of the tensioning screw
