INSTALLER GUIDE
through the back of the hotbox. If a concealed
connection is being used, insert the hotbox into the
fireplace feeding the supply pipe through the pierced
hole in the rear grommet.
5. The hotbox has two holes at each side of the
spillage plate. Insert one end of each cable (one
cable each side) from the back through the lower of
the two holes and return the end through the upper
of the holes (See figure 20). Give the cables a pull
so that they grip against the hotbox flanges.
6. Thread the cables through the eyebolts. Return the
Figure 20. Upper cable retention
cables through the holes near the bottom of the
hotbox back panel (See figure 21). (For precast or clay
block flue systems return the cables through the
slotted holes in the side of the hotbox).
7. Place the hotbox fully back into the fireplace opening
so that it is sealed against the fireplace front surround.
8. Drill a hole into the fireplace floor through each of the
two holes in the base of the hotbox using a no.12
masonry drill (See figure 22).
9. 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. Fit a woodscrew in
each plug and tighten.
Figure 21. Cable route
Always screw the base into position before
applying tension to the cables. This will ensure a
tight seal between the top of the hotbox and wall
10. Fit a cable retainer over the bottom end of each
cable.
11. Pull each cable taut. Push the cable retainers
hard up against the back panel. The end of the
cable adjuster will pass into the hole. Tighten the
screws in the retainers so that they clamp the
cables in position. Apply tension to the cables by
turning the hexagonal adjusters by hand (See figure
23).

12. Inspect the installation of the hotbox against
the fireplace surround. If the hotbox is aligned
squarely and the sealing is satisfactory, fully tighten the cable retainers.
