If a timber surround is to be ﬁ tted, ensure it complies with Real Fires minimum clearance dimensions.

See installation drawing.

Timber surround

The burner is supplied boxed complete with ﬁ rebox reﬂ ectors, fascia panels, vermiculite, logs & coals. To make the

gas connection, place the burner in the ﬁ rebox so that it is positioned central and controls drop into cut outs in

base of ﬁ rebox. The gas pipe should be bent into position and marked for cutting. Remove the burner, cut the pipe

and make a ﬂ are connection. Clean the glass panel as required to ensure there are no marks on the inside.

Remove the protective coating from the fascia panel for the glass side of the ﬁ re (this is the panel without the

remote control receiver). Fit the fascia panel on the glass side of the ﬁ re, the slots in the fascia drop onto the

screws in the sides of the ﬁ rebox. Ensure that there are no marks on the fascia, it is di cult to clean once the

burner has been installed. Fit the burner in place. Connect the gas supply and test for soundness. The electrical

leads to the burner control and from the burner control to the fan will need to be connected. These are nylon plug

connectors. Line in 3 pin socket connects to 3 pin plug to control box 4 pin plug from control box connects to 4

pin socket to fan. The lead with the small jack plug connects to the remote control receiver board on the stainless

steel fascia panel. Leave this unplugged at this stage.

Installation of Real Fires burner into  rebox

Each ﬂ ue length has a crimped end to join tightly to the next length. Each joint must be securely ﬁ xed by at least

three stainless steel rivets. The ﬁ rebox has two spigots for the two 1200mm x 150/200mm lengths ﬂ ues to locate

over. The Y piece is then connected, joining the two ﬂ ues into one. From the Y piece a single 200/ 250mm ﬂ ue is

used to the termination of the ﬂ ue. The ﬂ ue lengths should be installed with the crimped end facing up.

The Firebox and the ﬂ ue should be secured by ﬁ xing with seismic strapping and/or brackets to framing. Flue bends

are available from Real Fires if the ﬂ ue needs to be o set. Appropriate weatherproof roof ﬂ ashing/ chimney cap-

ping must be used to comply with NZS 5261. Once the installation of the ﬁ rebox and ﬂ ue is complete, the build-

ing work around the ﬁ replace can continue. Ensure any timber ﬁ tted around the ﬂ ue and top of ﬁ rebox has

a minimum clearance of 25mm. Looking at the ﬁ re from the open side there will be an electrical lead for the fan

from the left hand side of the ﬁ rebox. This is intended to be connected by an electrician to a wall switch facing the

room. See installation drawing. The ﬁ rebox is also pre wired for and optional electric On/O . This is the lead from

the right hand side of the ﬁ rebox. If this option is used then this will also require wiring to a wall switch. (Please

ensure the electrical leads are not left behind the ﬁ rebox and overlooked. It is di cult to gain access once the

giboard is ﬁ xed)
