INSTALLER GUIDE

9.2 Method 2 - Cable retention.

1. Make sure that the relevant areas at
the fireplace back are sound enough to
take the eyebolts. If these areas have
deteriorated due to prolonged use they
should be made sound with suitable
cement.
2. Drill two holes in the rear wall of the
fireplace for the eyebolt plugs. The
holes should be drilled within the range
of positions shown in figure 14 using a
suitably sized masonry drill for the fibre
plugs supplied. The holes should be
equidistant each side of the centre line
of the fireplace to ensure that the
appliance finishes centrally in the
opening when tension is applied to the
cables.
3. Insert a fibre plug into each hole.
Use the fibre plugs supplied with this
appliance - Never use plastic plugs
instead of the fibre plugs supplied.
Screw the eyebolts into the plugs.
Make sure that the bolts are secure.
4. Place the convector box unit close to
the fireplace but allow sufficient access
into the fireplace opening so that the
cables can be threaded through the
Figure 14. Eyebolt positions
eyebolts and returned through the back
of the convector box. If a concealed connection is
being used, insert the convector box into the
fireplace feeding the supply pipe through the
pierced hole in the rear seal.
5. The rear of the convection box has a slot and
hole each side of the outlet opening. Assemble
one end of the cable to the top of the fire by
passing it through the small round hole and
locking by positioning the cable in the adjacent
slot (See figure 15). Give the cables a pull so that
