Assembly instructions for fitting an electric or gas fire
Positioning hearth
Diagram A
Carefully unpack the hearth part (d) and position, Ensure hearth is centralised to your fireplace
opening. If installing an electric fire, ensure you have sufficient room for the power cable of your
electric fire to run to a socket
If fitting a gas fire prepare the bedding mixture, which can be sand and cement with an accelerator
added to speed up hardening, or special hearth bedding mixture available ready mixed .Lay the
bedding mixture on the floor, ensuring sufficient depth of mixture to support the surround off the floor
about 12mm .
The hearth must be sealed directly to the bare floor so that no air can enter the flue from
under the hearth. It must not be bedded on to a carpet (applies to gas)

Fitting the surround
With the hearth central to the fireplace opening, place surround onto the hearth (use cardboard to
protect the hearth) mark off position of 4 fixing holes on the wall. Remove surround from the hearth,
drill and fit wall plugs
If being used for an electric fire or no fire.
The surround can now be replaced on the hearth.
When the surround is going to be used with a gas fire, your Corgi installer will require the surround
to be sealed to the wall. To ensure that air only enters the flue from the front face opening of the
surround.
This can be achieved by using a sand cement mixture behind the surround such as used to bed
down the hearth.
The outer edges of the surround sides and mantle top can also be sealed to the wall by using
silicone adhesive.
The surround is attached to the wall using suitable wood screws.
