figure 21 using a suitably sized masonry drill bit for the wall plugs supplied. The holes
should be equidistant each side of the centre line of the fireplace to ensure that the
appliance finishes centrally in the opening when tension is applied to the cables.
3. Insert a fibre plug into each hole. Use the fibre plugs supplied with this appliance -
Never use plastic plugs instead of the fibre plugs supplied. Screw the eyebolts
into the plugs. Make sure that the bolts are secure.
4. Place the convection box unit close to the fireplace but allow sufficient access into
the fireplace opening so that the cables can be
threaded through the eyebolts and returned through
the back of the convection box. If a concealed
connection is being used, insert the convection box
into the fireplace feeding the supply pipe through the
pierced hole in the rear grommet.
5. The convection box has two holes at each side of
the convected air opening. Insert one end of each
cable (one cable each side) from the back through the
lower of the two holes and return the end through the
upper of the holes (See figure 22). Give the cables a
pull so that they grip against the convection box
flanges.
6. Thread the cables through the eyebolts. Return the
cables through the holes near the bottom of the
convection box back panel (See figure 23) (For precast
or clay block flue systems return the cables through
the slotted holes in the side of the convection box).
7. Place the convection box fully back into the fireplace
opening so that it is sealed against the fireplace front
surround.
8. Drill a hole into the fireplace floor through each of the
two holes in the base of the convection box using a
using a suitably sized masonry drill bit for the wall
plugs supplied (See figure 24).
9. Insert a fibre plug into each hole. Use the fibre
plugs supplied with this appliance - Never use
plastic plugs instead of the fibre plugs supplied.
Fit a woodscrew in each plug and tighten.
Always screw the base into position before
applying tension to the cables. This will ensure a
tight seal between the top of the convection box
and wall.
10. Fit a cable retainer over the bottom end of each
cable.
11. Pull each cable taut. Push the cable retainers
hard up against the back panel. The end of the cable
