The preferred method of fixing which is suitable for almost all situations is
the cable fixing method which is described in the following section in detail.
To fit using the
preferred
cable method proceed as follows-
h)
Mark out and drill 4 off No 14 (6mm) holes in the back face of the fire
opening in the positions shown below in figure 10.
Fig. 10
Fit the wallplugs provided and screw the fixing eyes securely into the rear of the
fire opening.
i)
Uncoil the two fire fixing cables and thread one end of each of the
cables through one of the two holes on each side of the flue outlet
shroud.
j)
Position the fire carefully on the (protected) surface of the hearth and
reach into the fire opening. Thread each of the cables vertically
downwards through the pair of fixing eyes on the same side of the fire.
Thread the free end of the cables through the corresponding circular
hole on each side of the lower rear of the fire. Carefully slide the fire
box back into the fire opening and pull both cables tight.
k)
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 (this provides maximum travel for the tensioning nut).
l)
Fit a screwed nipple on to each of the cables and pull hand tight up
against the tensioning screw, then secure each nipple with a flat
bladed screwdriver. See figure 11 overpage.
