ENGINE INSTALLATION
Installation Options
The appliance can be installed in 4
different ways. The basic appliance is
supplied ready for installation as a fully
open appliance where the appliance is
open to the front and the glass sides are to
the right and back. It is also available as a
right hand appliance if required.
All appliances are shown with
the open side foremost and
glass panels to the back and
right hand end. Even with the
IMPORTANT
insulation kits installed, the
glass panels remain in place.
Rear & End Reflector Kit Fitting
Reflector kits are used to convert the
appliance for the Corner, Fully Enclosed
and Through Wall installation options
and require fitting before the installation
continues. Unseen trims may need to
be cut away to make fitting of the wall-
board easier and tidier, the trims to cut will
depend on the installation option.
Make sure that you have
clearly identified the panels
that are to be cut before
proceeding. It may be easier
to fit the insulation panel
prior to making any cuts.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to remove all the
protective plastic from any
panels that will be covered
by the insulation panels
Framing Drawings
The diagrams on the following pages show the framing requirements for each installation type.
The flue and engine must be installed before the wall can be lined. Remember that both gas and
electricity are required within the cavity (see, "Gas & Electrical Supplies" on page 10).
IMPORTANT
The framing must be self supporting and not place any load on the engine.
The flue system must also be supported and not placing load on the engine.
The framing shown is indicative only is not intended to illustrate the construction method. The
installation shows one flue option (using the optional Y-Piece) but does not represent a complete
system.
The appliance should be installed on a solid platform.
Gas and power supply must enter through the left hand end of the engine when viewed from the
open side (the reverse is true for a right handed appliance).
The wall lining above the appliance must be non combustible for a minimum off 300 mm above
the top trim.
When engine installation is complete, the fitting of cardboard from the packaging material to the
front flanges on both sides of the appliance with some low-tac masking tape will help to protect
the appliance from dust, paint, etc. of subsequent construction drawing into the appliance or
marking the glass.
