6.1 Installing To A Hearth

6.1.1 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.
6.1.2 Level the fire by loosening the lock nuts 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 lock nuts.

6.2 Wall Mounting

The fixing hole positions in relation to the flue spigot opening are shown in figure 9.
Mark these positions on the wall. The positions can alternatively be marked by placing
the fire in position and marking the wall through the holes in the back panel. Drill and
plug the holes using no. 10 wall plugs. Place the fire in position and secure with four
no. 10 x 2in. woodscrews.

6.3 Gas Supply Connection

8mm rigid tubing must be used to connect the gas supply to the appliance. An olive and
nut are provided for connection to the "T" connector on the appliance. The connector
can be rotated to allow connection from either side or the rear. The connector includes a
valve for isolating the gas supply.
The closure plate has a cut-out for rear connection. Seal the gap between the cut-out and
the supply pipe.
Pressure check the installation pipework for gas
soundness. In the United Kingdom check in
accordance with the current edition of BS6891.
In the Republic of Ireland check in accordance
with the rules in force.

6.4 Radiants Installation

Important: Fit the radiants ensuring that their
rear face rests against the horizontal ribs in the
rear panel. There will be a small gap between
their bottom front edges and the retaining
channel at the front of the radiant box.

6.5 Flue Restrictor Adjustment

See figure 10.
The appliance has an integral adjustable flue
draught restrictor. This is supplied set in the fully
