MASONRY

Read this manual thoroughly and gain a full understanding of the requirements before undertaking
installation.
IMPORTANT
Step 1. Prepare Site
Ensure the intended enclosure meets the requirements of the dimensions as stipulated in
"Enclosure Requirements" on page 15 and that gas and electrical supplies have been prepared
in accordance with the dimensions stipulated in "Gas Supply" on page 16 and "Electrical
IMPORTANT
Supply" on page 16.
Carefully remove the foam packaging from the outside top of the heater engine, as this packaging
contains the fragile burner media it will need to be placed safely aside until required.
Step 2. Unpack The Heater Engine
The heater engine is supplied in one carton, check to ensure you have all contents as listed on "Carton Contents
/ Item Checklist" on page 8 at the start of this manual before proceeding.
Carefully remove carton by removing the straps and lifting the carton off the appliance. Remove all packaging
materials and check all components for damage. If ANY damage is evident DO NOT install or operate this
appliance. Contact your supplier for advice.
Retain the cardboard carton for use in the "Step 4. Positioning the Heater Engine".
IDEA
Before installing the heater, check it is the correct gas type, (refer to the gas type label on the top body panel of the
heater). Refer to the local gas authority for confirmation of gas type if you are in doubt.
Step 3. Preparing Heater Engine
Attach the adhesive backed foam sealing strip (A) supplied to rear face of the fascia assembly mounting panel (B).
Ensure the seal is stuck to the Fascia Assembly mounting panel at approximately 20mm from the top edge (C).
The foam strip is intended to form a seal between the heater and the fireplace brickwork. If an adequate seal
cannot be formed then another means of sealing must then be used. (e.g. non combustible insulation or heat
resistant silicon).
Remove (do not discard) the gas/electrical access plate (D) five screws.
Step 4. Positioning the Heater Engine
Place the heater engine in front of the fireplace enclosure.
