INSTALLING TO A HEARTH

4.1.1.
Place the fire centrally on the hearth making
sure that the spigot lines up with the spigot hole in the
closure plate. Gently slide the appliance into place. The
spigot must enter the closure plate to a depth of at least
25mm (see figure 2).
4.1.2.
Level the appliance on the hearth by slackening
the two locknuts and turning the levelling screws in the
feet up or down as required while they bear on the
hearth. When the fire is level and square to the wall,
retighten the locknuts.

the wall (using No.10 wall plugs).
4.2.4
Hold the fire in position against the wall,
engaging the flue spigot in the closure plate for accurate
alignment. Fit two No.10 x 2in. long woodscrews in the
plugs leaving about 12mm (1/2in.) of screw protruding.
Hang the fire on the screws and engage the flue spigot in
the closure plate.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

4.3.1.
An Rp1/4 (1/4in. B.S.P.) elbow connector is
provided. This can be revolved through 360° to the
connection position required. If a rear centre connection
is required through an opening cut in the closure plate
(see section 3.4.1.), seal the gap between the plate and
the pipe with tape after connection.
4.3.2.
Provision for isolation of the gas supply must be
provided upstream of the appliance for safety and
servicing.
4.3.3.
The supply pipe must be of a rigid material (e.g.
copper). A flexible connection must not be made.
4.3.4.
Pressure check the installation pipework for gas
soundness in accordance with the current edition of
BS6891.
4.4.
FITTING THE RADIANTS
Fit the radiants ensuring that they rest against the rear
support bar and that their bottom front edges are behind
the retaining tags near the front of the radiant box.
4.5.

REFERENCE PRESSURE CHECK

The appliance is pre-set to give the correct heat input at
the inlet pressure shown in section 1 of this manual. No
adjustment is necessary. Check the burner pressure by
fitting a pressure gauge at the test point. The test point is
on the gas tap. Check the pressure with the appliance
alight and set at maximum output. This is when the
control knob is turned anticlockwise as far as possible
(position 5).
After checking, turn off the appliance. Remove the
pressure gauge and replace the test point sealing screw.
Relight the appliance. Turn to the maximum output
position and test around the sealing screw for gas
soundness with a suitable leak detection fluid.

REFITTING THE OUTER CASE
4.6.1
Remove the control knob from the spindle.
4.6.2
Re-locate the outer casing assembly over the
fire. Make sure
that the
supporting ears
on the back
panel are
outside the rear
of the outer
case (See figure
7.) Re-fit the
screws in the
bottom sides of
Figure 7 Outer case location
the casing.
4.6.3
Replace the control knob.
4.6.4
Fit the dogs to each side of the apron with the
screws provided, and, if hearth mounted, adjust so that
they rest on the hearth, then tighten the screws.
