FIXING THE FIRE

15.
If The Vitesse H.E. is having a Trim with a louvered top fitted the stainless steel Top Louvre / Heat Shield must be fitted
with the 2 # No6 x 5mm blunt self tapping screws before fitting the convector box into the opening. Screw through the top of the
case into the Top Louvre / Heat Shield. The Top Louvre / Heat Shield is packed in the same box as the Flat Trim and the fixing
screws are in with the fitting kit packed with the Main Convector. Note: The Top Louvre / Heat Shield is not needed if a Trim with a
canopy top is being used.
15.1 - FITTING THE Silicone Sealing Strip
It is very important that a good seal is achieved between the back of the convector box outer frame and the front of the fireplace
back panel for safety reasons and to achieve maximum efficiency. Take the self adhesive silicone sealing strip from the fitting kit
and neatly apply to the back flanges of the convector box outer frame (as close to the edge as possible), cutting to the appropriate
lengths as required. To ensure there is a good seal between the base of the fire and the bottom of the fireplace opening apply a
410mm length of self adhesive silicone sealing strip on the base of the fire at the front edge.
