Check to see that the correct kit is supplied.
Open the FLUE KIT carton and check to see all components are supplied including the fl ue lengths, outer casing,
mounting brackets & gas cowl. Ensure that the correct fl ue kit for your model has been supplied.

STEEL FLUE PIPE IS USED FOR THE FIRST LENGTH OF ACTIVE FLUE PIPE.
GALVANISED FLUE PIPE IS USED FOR SUBSEQUENT LENGTHS . THE MINIMUM

3.
POSITION THE HEATER.
(ASSUMES THAT FIREPLACE OR FALSE FIREPLACE IS READY FOR THE UNIT.)
Place the heater in the required position as determined in section 1 (above).
Determine where the gas supply will be accessed.
Mark the gas pipe entry point on the wall or fl oor, (See DIMENSIONS page 3) and cut the hole(s).
NOTE:
It is highly recommended that a gas supply shut off valve be fi tted to the gas inlet pipe outside the building
in an easily accessed position to enable the gas to be shut off in an emergency. This also makes it possible to keep
the gas supply connected to the rest of the home whilst fi tting the pipe to the back of the heater prior to connecting
gas to the appliance.
