The power supply cord should be routed into the fire box along with the gas supply to keep the cable hidden,
connect into the USB socket on the side of the remote control valve ensuring the cord is routed away from any
hot surfaces and the grommet provided is used to prevent chafing to the cord when passing through the fire box
The key mechanism will now give you manual control of the remote valve as shown above
The keys have a small movement of approx 1mm.

Front fascia panel always ensure that the
fascia is fitted in the correct position as in
correct fitting this may result in the
appliance not working correctly.

If you are plastering the appliance in then you will need to remove the plaster from the
wall around the fire enough to be able to fix a sheet of master board or non-
combustible board over the fire box when in place to be able to be plastered to a finish
ready to be decorated, you can surface fix if you wish to use non-combustable slips
such as granite, stone or marble, around the appliance.
As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e. flock, blown
vinyl and most wallpaper) positioned too close to the appliance may discolour or scorch. Possible
cracking of the plaster may occur with this type of appliance, combined with the variations of plaster
conditions and thicknesses from property to property, we recommend that a heat proof plaster be
used.
An area of 600mm above plus 300mm on either side and below should be finished with a heat proof
plaster, it may be required to use a heat proof screed under the finish, please see contact details below
of possible suppliers of these goods for your reference.
