PLEASE OTE : The opening size as detailed above will require
reducing in size to the product aperture and finishing in a high
temperature plaster finish as detailed in section 2.9

OVERPAGE.
If the flue requires lining, an optional extra flue connection plate
assembly can be ordered to assist with the flue connection. This
assembly can be obtained from your local BFM Fires stockist, please
quote part number 1130-127120. Included with this assembly are
fitting instructions.

The opening needs to be sufficient to accomodate the combustion chamber. To
support the wall above the opening, a suitable lintel must be inserted across the
top of the opening. The lintel could be either pre-cast concrete or steel - Catnic
CN52 or CN 46 could be used, depending upon the inner wall thickness. Before
proceeding with the installation of the fire, an assessment of the area immediately
above the fire is required, see Fig. 6 above. If there is no existing openings within
either triangle, proceed with forming the opening. However, if opening or beams
occur within either triangle, then you should seek specialist advice from a
structural engineer or consider relocating the proposed position of the firebox.

2.5 I STALLATIO OF THE GAS SUPPLY (I TO STUDDED WALL OR
EXISTI G CHIM EY BREAST)
Before installing the combustion chamber, decide from which side or if a rear
connection to the gas supply is required. Plan the pipe run to enter from the rear
or below the firebox from the left, right or rear and connect to the inlet elbow. See
Fig. 9, 10 & 11 below. The gas connection is located at the front right hand side of
the fire. ote : Before breaking into the gas supply a gas tightness test
should be carried out to establish that the existing pipework is sound.

2.7 REMOVI G / RE-FITTI G THE GLASS PA EL
a) To remove the glass frame, the glass clamp as supplied in the loose
items pack will be required. Secure the clamp to the glass panel as
shown below in Fig. 12
Fig. 12
b) Remove the front grill by removing the 2 off retaining
screws from the upturned tabs, 1 off at each end of the trim
Remove the side trims by simply lifting clear (they are retained by
magnets). See Fig. 13 below.
Fig. 13
OTE : Always ensure that a consistent seal between the combustion
chamber and the glass frame is achieved when replacing the glass
panel.

2.9 FI ISHI G OF THE PRODUCT APERTURE / FITTI G THE
PLASTERI G FRAME
a) The area below around the appliance will require a high temperature
plaster finish around the appliance due to the high heat output level of
the product, see Fig. 22 A plastering frame is supplied with the product
to assist in obtaining this finished surface. To prevent plaster cracking
and discolouration, finish the 600mm area above and the 300mm area
at the side and below with a high temperature plaster finish as follows :-
b) The high temperature plaster should be applied over a heat proof
screed to the manufacturers instructions (see below for manufacturers
contact details) and left to dry for a minimum of 3 days.
c) Supplier’s contact details for heat proof screed & plaster are as
