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 gather built into the fire opening may have to be re-
formed at a higher level.
4
The gas supply should be routed from the meter or cylinder to a point convenient to the
fireplace.
5
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 containment of the flame and
products of combustion. See Figure 4.
6
Before starting to install the firebox remove all assembled items from the lower firebox.
The heat shield is retained during transit by self-taper screws these need not be
replaced. Temporarily secure the lower firebox to the upper firebox with four plain self-
tapping screws. Grommetted gas entry holes are set into the rear and bottom of the
lower firebox.
7
Slide the firebox into the opening. If a decorative infill panel is going to be used and is
not yet in place make sure that the firebox flange clears the front face of the fire
opening by the thickness of the infill panel. Ensure that the flue opening is
unobstructed and gives a clear passage for the products of combustion to the flue. The
firebox may, if required, be fixed in position by making holes in appropriate positions;
the firebox should then be secured with screws and wall plugs to the hearth and/or
rear wall of the fire opening. Do not fully tighten these screws at this time.
8
At this point the installation may be easier if the top part of the firebox is removed from
the bottom to give better access to install the gas supply.
9
Temporarily place the control mount in the lower part of the firebox and run the gas
supply through one of the grommeted holes at the rear or bottom of the lower firebox
and connect it to the gas inlet fitting. IMPORTANT; Ensure both grommets are fitted
correctly in the gas input holes, failure to seal the lower box can allow hot
product to be drawn down past sensitive electronics causing serious damage. This
fitting accepts 8mm diameter tubing. Prior to connecting the gas supply to the
appliance it is important to blow out the supply pipe to clear any of the debris that may
be present and which could cause a blockage in the control valve or pilot. Provision will
have to be made to pass the pipe through the masonry of the fireplace. Care must be
taken to sleeve the supply pipe when passing through the masonry. Exposed pipe
within the fire opening should be wrapped, painted with bituminous paint or factory
sheathed. Disconnect the gas supply and remove the control mount.
10
The space in front of the lower part of the firebox can be filled with masonry and made
good or an infill panel fitted. Slide the upper part of the firebox into position and fix to
the lower part with eight plain self tapping screws. Apply the sealing tape to the inside
of the upper firebox flange, or seal the firebox to the wall or infill panel with a water-
based mastic. Before tightening the fixing screws to the hearth and/or the rear of the
fireplace, the whole box should be pushed firmly back to make a good seal to the wall
or infill panel. THE AREA WITHIN THE FIREPLACE AROUND THE BACK AND SIDES
OF THE FIREBOX SHOULD BE BACKFILLED WITH MINERAL INSULATION MATERIAL
UP TO THE LEVEL OF THE TOP OF THE FIREBOX. This need not be done if the
appliance is sealed into the flue via the optional gather.

Inspect the High Tension lead on the control mount, this may have moved during
handling, ensure that it has not come into contact with the sensor or switch leads.
Replace the control mount in position making sure that the holes locate over the studs
