plate and then the plate can be fixed in place with the four self tapping screws
supplied.
Fitting the Firebox
1
Check that the fireplace is of the correct size or has been modified to accept the
selected firebox. (See Figure 1).
2
It is recommended that, before proceeding further, a simple smoke test be performed
to check the condition of the chimney. Light a smoke match or a twist of rolled
paper, hold it within the fireplace opening and observe the behaviour of the smoke.
If it is being drawn into the chimney proceed with the installation. If not, pre-heat
the chimney over the period of a few minutes and recheck. If there is any doubt
about the soundness of the chimney a smoke pellet should be used after preheating
the flue and if smoke still fails to clear, further investigation of the chimney is
required and the appliance
MUST NOT
be fitted until any fault has been rectified.
3
Clear the recess of any loose material. Ensure that the base on which the lower
firebox will stand is level and that the base of the recess and the hearth are
horizontal and non-combustible. If the fire opening is to be elevated the base under
the firebox will have to be raised to suit and the masonry above the firebox altered to
accommodate the gather.
4
The gas supply should be routed from the meter or cylinder to a point convenient to
the fireplace. Ensure that there is a mains socket near the fireplace for the power
supply to the appliance.
Natural Gas Model.
Due to the high gas input of this model we recommend that large diameter gas
supply pipe (15 or 22mm) is taken right into the fireplace. The last section should
be of 8mm diameter to connect to the burner with the nut and olive provided.
Please remember that no soldered joints are allowed within the burner unit itself.
When commissioning the appliance ensure that the inlet pressure at the pressure
test point on the appliance is /- 1mbar.
5
As stated previously the firebox is made in two sections, the lower part which
houses the gas control and the upper part which is the actual firebox and provides
the containment of the flame and products of combustion. See Figure 4.
6
Before starting to install the firebox remove the grill, the main burner, the heatshield
and the control mount from the lower firebox. Grommeted gas entry holes are set
