b. CAPITAL FIREFRAME OPTION
1. Remove the feet from the appliance by unscrewing the 4 screws located in the positions shown in image 1 below. Retain the
screws for possible future re-use.
2. If the appliance is to be fitted with a Capital Fireframe, then the canopy must be removed. There are four screws holding the
canopy in place. See the images 2 and 3 below to identify the screws to be removed. Once the screws are removed,
carefully withdraw the canopy, which may now be recycled.
3. Bend forwards the two Capital Fireframe tabs (image 4, right) to
accept the hooks fitted to the Fireframe. Ensure that the hooks
engage in the holes with the weight of the Fireframe being borne
by the floor or hearth.
4. Establish the route for the power cable and fit the lead in place,
ensuring that the mains power remains isolated. Leave
sufficient slack to enable the appliance to be connected.
5. Centrally and in-line with the top of the fireplace opening, drill
and plug a hole and fit the eyelet (supplied) in the rear wall of the
chamber. Ensure the fittings you use are suitable for the structure into which you are fitting the eyelet.
Please see sketch 5 to the right.
6. Position the appliance in front of the fireplace opening and connect the power cables
together, ensuring no power cables are pinched or trapped.
7. Thread the steel cable of the stability system through the left hand hole in the front of the
appliance, loop it through the eyelet and bring the loose end back through the right hand
hole in the front of the appliance as shown in images 6, 7 and 8 below.
8. Without damaging the surface on which the appliance is to be fitted move the appliance into position, gently pulling the steel
cable. Do not pull the cable too tightly. The stability system is a safety feature to prevent the fire from falling forwards.

wall or back panel through the flanges. Take care when drilling to ensure that the edges of
the opening are not “blown”.
