b) In PVC/uPVC/Metal
**
'Magnetic' cat fl aps will not work if installed directly into a surface
containing metal. The unit must be isolated from these materials in a
wooden frame (not provided).
Using the horizontal line as a base, draw a square with minimum
dimensions of 306 mm x 306 mm (This will be the external dimensions of
your wooden frame).
Cut out the square with a jig or keyhole saw. Fit a wooden frame to the
hole with internal dimensions of 175 mm x 168 mm. The enclosed cutting
template can be used to ensure an accurate cut out.
It is within the wooden frame that your cat fl ap should be fi tted to ensure
that is fully isolated from any metal (Fig. 4).
