To install a round vision panel, follow these steps:

> Trace a circle of the needed diameter in the centre of the leaf width.

> Drill on the edge of the circle with a 6mm bit, just enough to be able to insert the compass saw. Once the circle is cut, hit it to remove the cut piece.

> Place 4 clips around the gap as indicated on the sketch.

> Press the ring onto the leaf. Mark the fastening holes and drill. Rivet the ring to the leaf.

> Then turn the leaf around. Put the ceramic joint around the glass folding over the extra bits.

> Place the glass inside the gap.

> Press the second ring onto the leaf. Mark the fastening holes and drill. Secure the ring to the leaf.
