SECURING OF FIREBOX TO THE OPENING

enable the installer to deal with any type of installation. The preferred
method of fixing the appliance is the cable fixing method, which is
described in detail in the following section.

If the standard firebox fixing flange is to be used, the firebox may be
secured using the cable method, but in installations where the cable
method is not suitable, e.g.insufficient space behind the firebox, or
loose masonry, the firebox can be fitted directly to either the front of the
fireplace via the flange with the four off screws provided. The firebox will
require sealing to the fireplace, regardless of the method used.
