BAY

The air supply inlet can be fitted in the room or outside, in 
accordance with the requirements in 'Air Supply' section (p11). The 
inlet grille must not constrict the airflow through the duct and it must 
be permanently open. A semi rigid aluminium flexible duct of no less 
than 100mm diameter is used  to bring the air to the stove . The duct 
must be less than 5.5m long, have no more than five  90

º

 bends and 

two 45

º

 elbows. The duct should be terminated with a jubilee clip 

around the spigot provided and positioned conveniently for 
attachment to the convection casing.

CONNECTING THE FANS

The adaptor provided must be connected to a suitable mains socket. 
For the UK adaptor this is a 240 volt 50 Hz. a.c. supply. For the 
European adaptor this is a 220 volt 50 Hz. a.c. supply. THE MAINS 
ADAPTOR MUST BE USED. DO NOT CONNECT A MAINS 
SUPPLY DIRECTLY TO THE STOVE.

Plug the connector from the adaptor into the socket on the wire from 
the stove. Cable clips or conduit may be used to retain the wire if 
desired. If it is necessary to extend the wire then ensure that the 
correct polarity is maintained. The centre pin on the plug must be 
positive. There is a thermal cut out linked into the fan control. This 
means that the fans will not operate until the stove warms up.

FITTING THE OPTIONAL BASE ASSEMBLY

1. With the firebox removed, roll the outer convection casing onto its 
back and fasten the assembly into position using four M6x20 screws 
and nuts. Insert the screws through the holes in the underside of the 
casing from the inside and fit the nuts onto the outside of the base. 
Do not fully tighten the screws at this stage. 

2. Attach the lower fireplace trim into position onto the base frame. 
This part replaces the lower trim piece (002/MR113). Use two 
M8x10 screws and finger tighten them to allow adjustment. 

3. Undo the foot adjustment screws on the base assembly so that 
they are just below the lower level of the base frame. Stand the 
whole assembly up onto the base and trial fit into the fireplace 
opening. Adjust the feet to overcome and rocking, should the 
fireplace floor be uneven.

4. Trial fit the side trim pieces (002/XR112 or 002/MR112) and 
adjust the lower fireplace trim position to obtain a good fit. Once 
everything is aligned, tighten all fasteners.
