Bottom V Board Removal
First remove the bottom V boards by gently lifting them up at the front edge.
Care should be taken with the
thin sections that surround the cast bottom grate so they do not break.
Rear V Board Removal
Remove the rear left and right vertical V boards by gently pulling one edge out first, then slide forward. Note they
are handed with a cut out in the corners.
Side V Board Removal
The left and right side V boards can be removed by gently pulling one edge out first then, slide the boards
towards the centre of the fire.
To replace the V boards offer one edge in first and then push the V board gently back.
Note:- They should be pushed back flat against the steel body of the fire.
Note:- Some of the V boards will only fit one way around and if they are forced will break.
Flue Adaptor Removal (If fitted to fire)
With the internal components removed it is now possible to get to the flue adaptor bolts. These should be
removed and the adaptor carefully removed from the top of the fire. Take care not to damage the adaptor seal.
If some of the internal V boards are still in situ then care should be taken when removing and replacing the flue
adaptor bolts so that none of the internal parts become damaged.
Inner Firebox “Engine” Removal
Finally with the adaptor removed the inner firebox engine can be removed.
Slide the inner firebox “engine” out on the guides from the outer box. The engine contains easy grip areas that
allow 2 people to easily lift it out. With the inner and outer boxes now separate work can begin to fit the outer
firebox into the prepared opening.
Fitting the Firebox
Due to the modular construction of the unit, you can for instance:
Fit the flue adaptor, air supply pipe and the outer box. The rest of the components can be kept in safe storage
while all rough building and finishing work is being completed. At the final stage, the engine and finishing frame
can be fitted.
This way there is less chance of aesthetic damage, or accidental damage to important components while building
work is in process.
Flue Adaptor Connection to Flue
The flue adaptor can now be attached to the base of the flue liner. This can then be pushed up while the outer
firebox and inner fire box are slid into place. After the fire is installed then, working from the inside it should be
possible to pull the adaptor together with the liner downwards into the recess at the top of the inner firebox. Once
it has seated correctly then the 3 bolts must be screwed into the nut fixings to hold it in place.
If an existing rigid flue is to be used and is suitable then the adaptor will need to be joined directly to the flue.
The opening will need to be prepared high enough to allow the outer box adaptor and any flue pipe to be slid in
place and with sufficient room to work to enable connection between fire and flue.
This may involve breaking into the front of the chimney breast to create sufficient space.
