1. Prepare site
Ensure the intended enclosure
meets the dimension
requirements, and that the gas
and electrical supplies have been
prepared in accordance with the
information stated on page 7.
Ensure there are no wall studs,
noggins, ceiling joists, wiring, or
other obstruction within the wall,
and/or ceiling cavity where the flue
is to be located.
2. Assemble zero clearance box
Refer separate assembly
instructions included with the zero
clearance box.
3. Fit zero clearance box
Slide assembled zero clearance
box into the cavity, ensuring the
gas and electrical supplies are
accessible.
Secure the zero clearance box
into the cavity with appropriate
fasteners (not supplied).
4. Install flue
Install zero clearance flue system
components.

5. Unpack heater engine
The heater engine is supplied in
one carton. Check for damage,
and ensure you have the correct
gas type before starting. Do not
install if any damage is evident.
6. Prepare heater engine
Attach the flue guide rails
(supplied with the zero clearance
box) to the top of the heater
engine using the four predrilled
holes and four screws supplied.
Remove (do not discard) the flue
access plate, and the gas/electrical
access plate.
7. Fit cladding
Before installing the heater ensure
the cladding for the front of
the enclosure has been fitted.
Remember, the cladding MUST
BE installed flush with the zero
clearance box. Failure to do this
will cause alignment problems
with the flue.
8. Connect flue adaptor
Connect the flue adaptor* to the
engine by aligning the guide rails
with the guide plate* of the flue
adaptor. Slide the flue adaptor in
until the guide plate is fully home
against the rear of the flange at
the top of the heater.
* Supplied with the zero clearance box.
9. Position heater engine
Place the heater engine in front
of the fireplace enclosure. Use a
panel of the cardboard packaging
underneath the heater to help
prevent damage to the flooring.
10. Connect the electrical
supply
Plug in the 3-pin connector if
electrical connection is inside the
fireplace.
11. Insert heater into fireplace
Carefully move the heater into the
zero clearance box, ensuring the
gas supply and fittings feed into
the rear access hole.
12. Connect flue
The weight of the flue system
should not be supported by the
appliance—it should be self-
supporting. Supporting the flue
is usually completed during the
framing stage with flue supports
or straps within the cavity.
13. Secure flue
Replace the flue access plate, and
secure the guide plate of the flue
adaptor to the flue access plate
with the two screws supplied. Re-
secure the flue access plate to the
heater (three screws).
14. Connect gas
Connect gas supply pipe and
fittings to the gas control valve
inlet and tighten.
15. Secure heater
Fasten the heater to cladding
surface using appropriate fasteners
(not supplied). There are three
holes across the top of the front
assembly mounting panel and side
panels.
16. Leak test
Turn the gas on and using a soapy
solution, leak test all appliance
connections. If a leak is present
bubbles will form at the leak point.
When finished remove any residue
with a rag. Prevent any soapy
solution coming into contact with
electrical components.
17. Complete installation
Refer to instructions on page 16.
