GAS SUPPLY ROUTING (continued)
The gas pipe must be suitably protected where it passes through fireplace openings. Any sleeving should
be sealed to the pipe at its ends. This appliance is fitted with an inlet restrictor elbow.
The open end of the supply pipe should be sealed temporarily during the installation of the firebox to pre-
vent the ingress of dirt and dust.
The appliance firefront is notched to allow the gas pipe to pass through when an over hearth supply is nec-
essary.
FITTING THE FIREBOX
The firebox may be fitted to the opening by using screw fixing or by the cable kit as described in the rele-
vant section. It may be easier to fit the decorative brass fireframe at this stage rather than later if it is a
clip-on type. See relevant section for fitting details. Leave the polythene coating in place until fitting proce-
dures are complete to eliminate any risk of scratching the decorative finish.
To fit the firebox, firstly check the fire goes fully back into the opening. If the fire will not fit straight in, tilt
the unit backwards and insert the spigot first to lead in to the
gather at the top of the fireplace. If this is still not possible,
remove the spigot outlet screws using a screwdriver, bend it
down and partly insert the firebox.
Now push the outlet
deflector back up to the original position
under the lip of
the fireplace opening and secure with the screws. The fire is
designed to operate correctly with the deflector screwed in its
original position and spillage problems may arise by not
realigning correctly once fitted.
Secure the fire box by drilling and screwing down the frame or
base of the firebox, or use the cable fixing method.
INSTALLATION BY CABLE FIXING KIT
Drill the four holes for the rawl plugs, as shown in the dia-
gram. If the fireplace configuration does not allow the exact
layout given, the eyebolts should be positioned as close to the
correct layout as possible.
Before finally fitting cables, ensure the self adhesive sealing
strips are in position on the back of the appliance frame. The
fireframe must be sealed evenly to the fireplace opening all
around the periphery.
Thread the tensioning cables through the holes in the top of
the firebox, then the eyelets, and finally through the lower
holes in the back of the firebox, as shown in the photographs.
Note: The burner tray MUST be removed as per rele-
vant section to gain access to the cable adjusters.
Push the appliance back into to fireplace, centralise, and
pull the loose tensioning cables through the holes into
the firebox. You may need to temporarily adjust the out-
let deflector at this point as described in the Fitting the
firebox section. Thread the tensioner bolts onto the
cables, with the nuts screwed down close to the ten-
sioner head. Slide the screwed nipple onto the cable, pull
cable tight, and tighten nipple.
The tension of the cable may now be adjusted by using a suitable spanner on the tensioner nuts to pull the
appliance tightly against the fireplace opening. Visually inspect the seal and reseat if necessary.
Note: DO NOT cut off excess cable.
Surplus cable must not be cut off, as it will be impossible to refit the
fire after servicing. Coil up the surplus cable, and locate at rear of firebox.
Note : If running a concealed gas supply, ensure grommets are secure around incoming pipes.
FITTING THE BURNER TRAY
Important Note: Check the thermocouple nut connection into the rear of the valve is secure.
Temporarily fit the burner tray and ensure a suitable gas route can be achieved. Place the burner tray into
the firebox making sure that the rear lugs locate properly on to the ledge in the firebox. Fit the two secur-
ing screws through the tray legs to secure the assembly.
