6.
Thread the cables through the eyebolts. Return the
cables through the holes near the bottom of the hotbox
back panel (See figure 19)
(For precast or clay block flue
systems return the cables through the slotted holes in
the side of the hotbox)
.
7.
Place the hotbox 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 hotbox using a no.12 masonry
drill (See figure 20).
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 hotbox 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
adjuster will pass into the hole. Tighten the screws
in the retainers so that they clamp the cables in
position. Apply tension to the cables by
turning the hexagonal adjusters by hand (See
figure 21).
12.
Inspect the installation of the hotbox
against the fireplace surround. If the hotbox is
aligned squarely and the sealing is satisfactory,
fully tighten the cable retainers.
13.
If the hotbox is not correctly aligned,
release the tension on the cables by slackening
the screws and turning the hexagonal adjusters
fully anticlockwise. The hotbox should then
automatically realign itself. Pull each cable
taut again and push the cable retainers back
against the back panel. Again, tighten the
screws in the retainers and apply tension to the cables by turning the hexagonal
adjusters clockwise as far as possible.
