 3 radiants which are in a cardboard pack inside
the firebox.
 The closure plate
 Literature pack
 An olive & olive nut for gas line connection
Remove all the items carefully to prevent damage.
Some items may be contained in the packaging
fitments -Examine the packaging carefully before
discarding. Check that all the items are present and
undamaged.

5.2 Fireplace Flue Pull

Figure 4. Transit screws.
Close all doors and windows in the room in which
the appliance is to be installed. After confirming with
a match that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13
gram smoke pellet and check that there is a definite
flow through the flue. Verify outside that the smoke
exits from one terminal only and that the termination
is suitable. Observe, where possible, upstairs rooms
and loft spaces for signs of escaping smoke indicating
a defective flue. If there is not a definite flow warm
the flue for a few minutes and repeat the smoke pellet
test. If there is still no definite flow the flue may need
remedial work – Do not fit the appliance until there
is a definite flow through the flue.
