• The box is NOT designed to support brick work or any other part of the dwelling or structure.
• The flue terminal clearances are to be in accordance with Current AS/NZS 5601.

HEATER SUPPORT SHELF ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

Fit side shelf bracket F to the bottom left corner of the framing so that the return folds are flush with the interior wall, secure in place (W screws x5). Repeat for side shelf bracket G in the opposite corner. Fit the L shaped cross brace H over the rear of side self brackets, with the tab facing downwards and secure to make rigid (PH screws x4).

HEATER INSTALLATION

Mount and secure the appliance and connect the flue system in accordance with the OPERATION & INSTALLATION MANUAL, Power Flued Flamefire Gas Space Heater RHFE-951ETR / RHFE-952ER / RHFE-1250ETR / RHFE-1252ER (supplied with the heater) and the INSTALLATION MANUAL, Power Flued Flamefire Space Heater Co- Axial Flue System (supplied with the flue).

IMPORTANT
It is the installers responsibility to ensure that the box is appropriately attached and weather sealed to the exterior wall in accordance with all Local Regulations and Municipal Building Codes including local OH&S requirements.
