INSTALLER GUIDE

8.3 Fitting the foam seal.

There is a length of self adhesive foam seal
supplied with the fire. This will need to be
fitted to the outer rear edges of the side and top
flanges of the hotbox. Cut the foam seal to the
required length. Be careful not to stretch the
seal when measuring. Remove the protective
backing from the foam seal and fit this to the
rear of the hotbox flange (See figure 10).

8.4 The flue restrictor.

This appliance is supplied with a flue restrictor
for use where the flue draught is excessive. The
restrictor must not be fitted where a precast
flue or a 125mm flue liner is used. For flue
liners greater than 125mm and all other
installations the restrictor should be fitted.
There may however, be certain exceptional
circumstances where fitting the restrictor causes

the fire to fail the spillage test. In such cases
the restrictor will have to be removed. After
removal conduct the spillage check again.
The restrictor is packed flat with the appliance
and will require bending prior to fixing. Bend
the restrictor as shown in figure 11.
Fit the restrictor as shown in figure 12 using
