4.6 When satisfactory, mark the hole to take the
installation box. This will require a hole to be
cut in the panel 485mm high (from the floor,
below floor covering) X 480mm wide. It is
recommended that the panel surface is protected by masking tape. Score the line to be
cut with sharp knife, to stop the veneer lifting
(see fig.3) .If the panel is of the hollow type,
then the void must be filled locally along the
opening with wood.
4.7 Trim the floor covering from inside the wardrobe or panel to a depth of 135mm from the
front (see fig. 4.). If the floor covering is not
wanted behind the installation box remove
as required. Also trim the floor covering in
front of the panel or panel to the lines on the
template.
4.8 Open out the template making sure that the
arrows remain in their relative positions. Mark
and cut the floor hole at A, B, C, & D. on the
template. Remove some of the insulation and
insert timber liners for added security of the
fixing screws, and to seal off the caravans
floor insulation. The liners must be secured to
the floor using suitable adhesive or screws
and their size must be such that all holes
marked on the template fall within the inserts.
Do not use screws where they will contact the
floorplate cork gasket of the heater.
4.9 Drill four 2mrn dia. holes, as labelled at the
rear of the template, (see fig. 5.).
4.10 Line up the floorplate clampstrip with the
four pre-drilled holes, ensuring that the
overhung edge is facing forward. Secure
with 20mm screws provided. Tighten down
the two outer screws firmly (see
fig.
6) leave
the two inner screws loosely driven at this
stage.
