3.3 METHOD OF INSTALLATION
There are two methods for securing the fire to the wall which are:
(a) Fixing by tension cable.
(b) Screwing the fire directly to the wall.
It is recommended, where drilling holes in the front face of the fireplace surround is unacceptable or otherwise risky e.g. a marble
surround, that fixing by tension cable is employed.
IMPORTANT NOTES
(a) If the surface of the fireplace is uneven it is necessary to prepare the surface so that a positive seal can be achieved
between the fire and the wall.
(b) If the fire is to be connected using a concealed gas connection then it is necessary to prepare the pipework prior to fitting the
fire to the wall. Refer to Section 3.4.1. (Concealed Connection).
3.3.1 FIXING BY TENSION CABLE
FIT MOUNTING EYE SCREWS
Mark the position for eye screws in the back of the opening according to the dimensions in Fig. 5. Drill the four 6mm holes and plug
the holes with the wall plugs. Fix the eye screws to the holes.
FIXING THE CABLE
First remove the burner tray (see Section 6.1). Insert the free end of each cable through the respective hole in the firebox and then
through the eye screws (refer to Fig. 5). Thread the free ends of the cable through the holes in the tensioning bolts located in the
base of the fire from the rear. Insert the fire into the opening so that the seal on the back of the fire is compressed against the face
of the fireplace/surround. Any visible gaps indicate a deviation from flatness of the surround face which MUST be corrected. Pull
the cable taut each side of the fire and insert the cable adaptors over the ends of the cable (Fig. 5). While keeping the cable taut
slide the adaptor against the tensioning bolt and tighten the grub screw to lock the cable. Using a spanner unscrew each tensioning
bolt by about 20mm to tension the cable. Prevent the cable adaptors from rotating while unscrewing the tensioning bolts. Refit the
burner tray.
