(For precast or clay block flue systems return the
cables through the slotted holes in the side of the
hotbox)
.
7.
Place the hotbox fully back into the fireplace opening
so that it is sealed against the fireplace front surround.
8.
Drill a hole into the fireplace floor through each of the
two holes in the base of the hotbox using a suitably sized
masonry drill bit for the fibre plugs supplied (See figure
20).
9.
Insert a fibre plug into each hole. Use the fibre plugs
supplied with this appliance -
Never use plastic plugs
instead of the fibre plugs supplied
.
Fit a woodscrew in
each plug and tighten.
Always screw the base into position before
applying tension to the cables. This will
ensure a tight seal between the top of the
hotbox and wall.
10.
Fit a cable retainer over the bottom end of
each cable.
11.
Pull each cable taut. Push the cable retainers
hard up against the back panel. The end of the
cable adjuster will pass into the hole. Tighten the
screws in the retainers so that they clamp the
cables in position. Apply tension to the cables by
turning the hexagonal adjusters by hand (See
figure 21).
12.
Inspect the installation of the hotbox
against the fireplace surround. If the hotbox
is aligned squarely and the sealing is
satisfactory, fully tighten the cable retainers.
13.
If the hotbox is not correctly aligned,
release the tension on the cables by
slackening the screws and turning the
hexagonal adjusters fully anticlockwise. The
hotbox should then automatically realign
itself. Pull each cable taut again and push the
cable retainers back against the back panel.
Again, tighten the screws in the retainers and
apply tension to the cables by turning the
hexagonal adjusters clockwise as far as
possible.
