Fitting the Fire
Site Preparation for Fitting
Builders Opening
If installing the re in an existing replace, rst remove all loose material from the recess and measure the
opening and recess to ensure that the Jetmaster outer rebox will t. The opening must be high and wide enough
to allow the outer rebox to be pushed into position. Allow extra height if connecting directly to the existing ue
to make the connection.
The recess must be large enough to provide a clearance around the sides and back of the outer rebox to allow
the insulation to be tted. Cut away or build up to achieve the desired dimensions. See data table page 5.
Do not remove any structural lintels without rst seeking expert advice. Often identication and location of the
lintel can be found by removing some surface plaster above the opening that is to be altered.
Where the recess is to be newly built, form the recess to give a clearance around the sides and back of the outer
rebox to accommodate the insulation.
For details of opening sizes required. See table on page 5.
The re must be directly connected to the ue system. With an existing ue check that a sealed ue connection
can be achieved between the re adaptor and the ue.
Where a closure plate is required then it must conform to the Building Regulations.
The re surround should be at around the sealing area of the re. Check that the hearth, or new plinth where
this is constructed, is horizontal and parallel to the nished re lines.
Inglenook Installations or freestanding
The re should be set within a brick, stone or non-combustible recess built within the inglenook. The ue
connection from the top of the re to the chimney can be made with ue liners if the brick or stone extends at
least to the height of the top of the register plate and the liner runs to the top of the ue and is sealed.
Alternatively if freestanding and just clad around in a non-combustible material then suitable ue pipe sealed at
the re adaptor and sealed into the existing chimney ue where it narrows should be used. The inglenook above
the lintel should then be sealed with a non-combustible register plate conforming to the Building Regulations.
The register must be air tight and sealed around the edges, the ue connection passing through it and the
inspection access cover. The register should be supported on a framework of non combustible material.
Flue liners or ue pipe used must be of the correct size for the re and must be suitable for use with solid fuel
res. Flue pipes of aluminium or asbestos may not be used, nor may exible pipes of aluminium or single wall
stainless steel.
Appliance Preparation
Door Removal
Unlock the door with the handle provided.
Open the door fully and carefully support the door, at the same time pull out the top and bottom hinge pins. Lift
the door outwards away from the hinge attachments on the inner rebox. Set aside the hinge pins in a safe place
for retting later.
Take care not to damage the door seal.
Place the door on a soft surface in a safe position to protect the glass, paint and inner seal.
Particular attention should be given so that the painted edges do not become damaged.
Ret the door using the reverse process.
