1)
By fixing to the fireplace front.
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 12 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
the fibre / wooden plugs and wood screws. If necessary, make sound with suitable
cement.
If method 2 is chosen, make sure that the areas at the back and towards the centre of
the fireplace floor are sound enough to take the eyebolts and screws. If these areas
have deteriorated due to prolonged use, they should be made sound with suitable
cement.
8.2 Fireplace flue pull.
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.
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that the ignition system performs
satisfactorily.
9.1 Fitting batteries to the remote control handset.
The remote control handset is battery powered. There is a 9 Volt 'PP3' size alkaline
battery supplied. Remove the rear battery compartment cover from the remote control
handset. To do this push the tab towards the bottom of the handset and lift (See
figure 9). Fit the battery in to the handset. Replace the cover.
9.2 Fitting batteries to the receiver box.
The gas valve and receiver are battery powered. There are four 1.5 Volt 'AA' size
alkaline batteries supplied. Locate the batteries in the receiver box. To do this slide
the receiver box forward and clear of its support. Slide the battery compartment cover
clear (See figure 9) and fit the batteries. It is important that the positive (+ve) and
negative (-ve) symbols on the battery match those of the illustration inside the battery
holder. Replace the cover and receiver box.
It is important that the wires from the receiver box do not touch the underside
of the burner tray.
