6.3 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 6.4.1. (Concealed Connection).
6.3.1 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. 13. 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 6.2). Prise the tabs up on each side of the firebox using a screw driver (refer to Fig 14.). Fit the
cable tensioning bolts into the fire from the front, i.e. Hexagon head inside the fire. Insert the free end of each cable through the
respective hole in the firebox and then through the eye screws (refer to Fig. 13). Thread the free ends of the cable through the holes in
the tensioning bolts 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. 13). 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. DO NOT cut the ends of the cables,
but coil them up instead as shown in Fig 15 to facilitate refitting of the fire after servicing.

6.3.2 FIXING DIRECTLY TO SURROUND FACE
Mark the four positions of the fixing holes, two on the front face of the fireplace surround and two in the floor, using the fire as a template.
Drill 6mm holes and plug the holes with the wall plugs supplied. Insert the fire into the opening in the fireplace until the seal on the back of
the fire is compressed against the surround face at every point. Note that any visible gaps between the surround face and the seal
indicate a deviation from flatness on the surround face and MUST be rectified. Screw the fire to the wall.
