PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
Note: Ensure that the gas supply is isolated before commencing installation of
the appliance.
The fireplace opening and environment must be in compliance with specifica-
tions laid down in the appropriate sections of these instructions.
Remove the appliance from it’s carton as described previously and stand upon
a dust sheet or similar. Place the decorative frame, coals, ceramics and fixings
safely to one side. Remove the burner from the assembly by removing the
retaining screws. The tray is now free, and may be lifted away.
RADIANT PANELS: The three radiant panels may now be fixed inside the fire-
box. Select the patterned side of each panel and insert as follows; Lay the fire-
box on it’s back. Lay the tapered panel onto the rear face of the firebox.
The side panels should be fitted by inserting their front edges into the pre-fitted
retaining brackets on the front face of the firebox. Gently align the side panels
with the side of the firebox as shown, over the top of the back panel already in place.
Make sure that the side panels are pushed
up firmly to the roof of the firebox, and back firmly to retain
the tapered panel. Make small adjustments to line up the mortar lines if required. Secure the side pan-
els using the small ‘L’ shaped brackets and screws provided (shown inset). The screws should locate
into the pre-punched holes in the sides of the firebox.
SPIGOT RESTRICTOR: If installing the fire into a Class 1 or good Class 2 flue, simply bend up (stitch
bend join) the spigot restrictor into position in the flue outlet of the fire.
You
MUST remove (or bend down fully) the spigot restrictor and re-test if the
appliance fails a spillage test during commissioning.
SUPPLY PIPE ENTRY: Knockout holes are provided in the rear and sides of the
firebox for use where concealed pipework is required. Where necessary, knock
out the appropriate hole with a sharp tap from a hammer, and fit the rubber
grommet supplied. A small incision can now be made in the rubber to slip snug-
ly around the outside of the pipe and sleeving.
Do not install or use the appliance without the seals in place. If a hole is inad-
vertently opened, reseal with an intact grommet. Failure to fit the seal correct-
ly will cause flue suction to act upon the area under the burner, resulting in
poor performance and intermittent cutting out of the burner.

FITTING THE DECORATIVE FRAME
The appliance is supplied with a decorative frame. The frame attaches as a three piece
clip-on assembly. If the firebox is to be retained by the cable method, this is the most
convenient stage at which to fit the three piece clip on frame. Before fitting the frame
remove any plastic protective coating. The side pieces of the clip on assembly should
be pushed into position first, followed by the top bar (shown), which should overlap
the sides.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the possibility of sharp edges, care should be taken
when handling the three piece frame components. The use of protective gloves is rec-
ommended.
Place the firefront into position in front of the fire and slide the ashpan door into place.
Do not use any other firefront other than the one supplied with this appliance. The
firefront shown in these instructions may differ from the one supplied with the appli-
ance.
PREPARING THE OPENING
Before installing the fire, check the flue using a smoke pellet. All of the smoke should travel up the flue and exit correctly from the terminal.
If problems are found, DO NOT fit the fire until corrective action is completed.
Protect the decorative hearth whilst pushing the firebox in and out of the opening. Part of the packaging will make an ideal hearth saver pad.
Before running the gas supply into the opening, offer up the firebox to the fireplace
to check the fit is good. Angle the firebox or adjust the spigot outlet as described in
the Fitting the Firebox section. Ensure that it slides in correctly, the sealing face sits flat
and square to the wall or infill panel, and that the base is firm on the floor of the open-
ing as no leaks are permissible here. At this stage it is essential to ensure that the spig-
ot outlet of the fire is not restricted in any way. Remove the firebox and take any nec-
essary measurements before making good and preparing for final installation.
Apply the self adhesive sealing strips to the back of the fireframe to give a continuous
seal.
CABLE FIXING. For fixing of the fire by the cable method, see the relevant section.
The cable fixing locations should be marked on the back of the opening and the holes
drilled. Fit the fibre rawlplugs and eyebolts to these holes.
Note: Plastic rawlplugs are
NOT suitable for this application.
SCREW FIXING. For fixing by screw, mark and drill the fireframe or base, and the relevant points in the opening or on the wall. Rawlplugs will
again be required. Pre-punched holes are not provided for this purpose to allow you to choose the optimum positions.
GAS SUPPLY. Following preparation for the fixing method, the concealed gas supply, where required, can now be put into place. Refer to the
gas supply section for suggested pipe routes. The ends of the sleeving in which the gas pipe is run should be sealed. The ends of the 8mm
supply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent the ingress of debris during fixing.
GAS SUPPLY ROUTING
When the opening is ready for installation of the fire, the gas supply can be routed as shown in the diagram below. IMPORTANT - Wherever
a concealed connection is made a rubber grommet must be used to seal the firebox.
