CHECKS BEFORE INSTALLATION

We recommend turning on the appliance before installation, connect the appliance to a power source using the provided electrical lead, and depress the right side of the ON/OFF switch.
Remove the electrical lead from the wall and continue with the installation.

INSET INSTALLATION – TIE BACK MODELS

STRELLAR INFILL PLATE

Our Strellar model comes with an infill plate and 2x screws, if you have an Oberon model you can skip to the section below and continue with the installation.
To fit the Infill plate, screw in the two screws to either side of the plate as shown. This lines up with the two screw holes on the front of the appliance.
You can now continue the installation as stated on page 6.
STRELLAR & OBERON INSTALLATIONFirst attach the electrical lead to the power inlet on the back lower right, and plug into the mains power.
Using the Cast Frame fixing kit, drill and fit the x 2 wall plugs and x 2 screw eyes to the inside of the wall opening.
Then using the cable, form a loop by threading it through one of the holes on the front of the appliance, then through the eye screws, and back through another hole on the appliance. You can use the most conveniently positioned hole on the appliance for your installation.
Now move the appliance into the opening, pulling the solid end of the cable against the appliance.
Feed the barrel clamp onto the open end of the cable, and whilst maintaining tension screw it tight.
Cut the cable approximately 50mm away from the barrel clamp.
All our inset models are designed to be fitted into a standard 16” wide x 22” high opening. Before starting the installation check the dimensions of both the appliance and your opening to ensure that they align well.
Please note, if you are installing into an existing chimney breast it is imperative that the flue is adequately blocked off.
SLIDE IN
Once the dimensions have been checked, attach the electrical lead to the power inlet on the back lower right. Connect the electrical lead to the mains power, then slide the appliance into the prepared opening.To convert your appliance to a free- standing unit you can fit an optional spacer.
Before securing the spacer, attach the electrical lead to the inlet at the back bottom corner of the appliance. Once the spacer is fitted it will be more difficult to attach this.
Position the spacer at the back of the appliance and line up the three screw holes on both appliance and spacer. Then screw in your three screws as shown below. The electrical lead can then slot into the semi circular hole, allowing the appliance to sit free-standing on the floor.

INSET INSTALLATION – WALL MOUNTED – TOPAZ

All our inset models are designed to be fitted into a standard 16” wide x 22” high opening. Before starting the installation check the dimensions of both the appliance and your opening to ensure that they align well.
