Carefully remove all the contents. Take special care in handling the ceramic fuel effects.

additional components to that stated above. These can be discarded.
6.1 Fireplace check.
6.1.1 Fireplace size
The fireplace must comply with
the requirements described in
section 4.2. This will probably
entail removing the fireback and
infill material behind the
fireback. The debris catchment
area shown in figure 7 must be
kept clear of obstructions.
6.1.2 Fireplace general
condition
The fireplace floor should be
reasonably flat to ensure that the
hotbox can be installed without it
rocking and so that a good seal
can be made at the bottom front of the box. The front face of the fireplace should be
reasonably flat over the area covered by the hotbox top and side flange seals to ensure
good sealing. These faces should be made good if necessary. If the appliance is to be
fitted against a wall with combustible cladding, the cladding must be removed from the
area covered by the fascia. The cladding must also not touch the fascia (See figure 4).
We suggest that the actual fascia is used as a template to mark the area for combustible
cladding removal and that this area is increased by at least 2mm all round.
6.1.3 Soundness for appliance attachment
Two primary methods of retaining the appliance are provided: -
1)
By fixing to the fireplace front surround.
2)
Using concealed tension cables fixed to the rear of the fireplace opening together
with secondary fixing to the fireplace floor.
The methods are detailed in section 10 of this manual. Before selecting the retention
method, consult with the customer. Method 2 is provided for instances where drilling
holes in the front surface of the fireplace surround is unacceptable to the customer or
otherwise impractical. N.B. It is unwise to attempt to drill into marble without the
proper tools and equipment.
If method 1 is chosen, make sure that the front surround area is sound enough to take
