✔

✔✔

✔Have the fire installed by a competent person. In the United Kingdom installation

must be in accordance with the latest edition of the Gas Safety (installation & use)

Regulations. In the Republic of Ireland installation must be in accordance with all

national and local regulations in force.

✔

✔✔

✔Have the chimney swept prior to installation if it was previously used for solid fuel.

✔

✔✔

✔Have the fire installed in accordance with the installation instructions

✔

✔✔

✔Allow a minimum clearance of 95mm from the top of the appliance case to the

underside of any shelf whether it is made from combustible or non-combustible materials.

This clearance is necessary to allow the case to be lifted off for servicing and also allows

sufficient access to operate the control knob. For a shelf made from wood or other

combustible materials deeper than 150mm the minimum clearance must be as shown in

graph 1. Please bear this in mind if ever you add a shelf.

✔

✔✔

✔Provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 6539 or 6778 for the protection of

young children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for the

protection of pet animals. (Although this fire conforms to all the applicable standards, it

is a heating appliance and certain parts of its surface will become hot.)

Note: The guard supplied with the fire acts as a fireguard conforming to BS1945:1971

and satisfies the Heating Appliance (Fireguard) (Safety) Regulations 1991.

✔

✔✔

✔Wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or the flames

are extinguished for any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety device that will

automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any reason, the flames go out.)

✔

✔✔

✔Get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft wall

coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily affected by

heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating

appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.

✔

✔✔

✔Provide a minimum side clearance as detailed in figure 1. Please bear this in mind if

ever you are considering altering the room.

DON’T

HHang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the fire.

HFill in the space behind the case.

HUse the fire without the dress guard being in position.

HAttempt to clean or service the fire off until it has been switched off and allowed to

cool completely.

HUse the fire with damaged radiants.

OPERATING YOUR FIRE

PLEASE NOTE

When operating your fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which may

cause a slight odour and could possibly set off any smoke alarms in the immediate

vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new appliances. They are totally harmless

and will disappear after a few hours use.

The Oxysafe flame sensing & flue blockage safety system.

For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device which will shut

down the appliance in the event of abnormal flue conditions. This device is NOT a

substitute for an independently mounted Carbon Monoxide detector.

The device will also automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if the pilot flame

goes out due to lack of oxygen or for any other reason.

If this device starts to repeatedly shut off the gas, get

expert advice.

This device incorporates a probe that senses that the

heat from the pilot flame is correct. If this probe is

cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless the

control knob is held down at the ignition position.

If, for any reason, the flames go out when the fire is hot

or if the fire is turned off when hot, always wait at least

three minutes before attempting to relight.

To light the fire

The control is shown in Figure 2.

•Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise

towards the ignition (1 ) position. A spark should be

generated at the pilot while turning. The spark

should ignite the pilot. If it does not, keeping the

knob depressed, continue to turn the knob

anticlockwise. A second spark should ignite the pilot.

The pilot flame can be seen through the opening

immediately below the centre radiant – See figure 3.

If the pilot does not light, turn the knob back to OFF

and try again.

In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition

mechanism the pilot can be lit with a long match or

taper – See the next page.

•When the pilot has lit keep the knob depressed for

Figure 3 Pilot flame viewing

OWNER’S GUIDE

about ten seconds to allow the flame sensing probe to warm up.

•The control knob can then be set to your preferred heat level. The settings are:

Knob

Position

Radiants Condition

2 Centre radiant on low. Outer radiants off.

3 Centre radiant fully on. Outer radiants off.

4 Centre radiant fully on. Outer radiants on low.

5 All radiants fully on.

•To turn off partially depress the knob and turn clockwise to off. Wait at least three

minutes before attempting to relight.

Lighting with a match or taper

•Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise towards the ignition( 1 ) position.

•While keeping the knob depressed, light the pilot by inserting a long match or taper into

the pilot viewing opening (See figure 3).

•When the pilot is alight, keep the knob depressed for about ten seconds to allow the

flame sensing probe to warm up before setting to your preferred heat level.

•For your own convenience, have the heater serviced as soon as possible.

CLEANING

Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before attempting any cleaning.

Normally the fire will only need dusting. The bright metal trims may be cleaned with a

damp cloth and dried with a soft duster.

Obstinate marks can be removed from the guard and trims using soapy water. Never use

abrasive cleaners.

The radiants can be cleaned with a soft brush - see the next page for how to remove the

radiants.

OWNER’S GUIDE

REPLACING THE RADIANTS

See figure 4.

Always use the correct type of replacement radiant. Ask for Valor part number

0544649 (GC No. 125 164).

•Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before attempting to remove the radiants.

•Remove the dress guard by pressing down the two hooks at the top. Tilt the guard

forward and lift out.

•Lift the radiant upwards to clear the metal retaining bar then pull out bottom first.

•Fit the new radiant by inserting its top under the top lip of the radiant box then swing

the bottom of the radiant over and behind the retaining bar. It is important that the

back face of the radiant should rest against the rear ribs in the firebox. There will

be a small gap between the bottom front edge of the radiant and the retaining bar.

•Replace the dress guard. Locate the bottom of the dress guard in the two holes in the

bottom apron. Push the guard back so that the two spring projections at the top of the

guard engage in the slots under the hood.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance

In order to achieve and maintain high levels of personal safety and performance

efficiency, it is essential that the opening at the back of the fire and the flue are kept clear

of any form of obstruction. It is possible that deposits of mortar or soot could fall and

accumulate causing the flue to be blocked or restricted and so preventing proper

clearance of dangerous exhaust fumes.

In the United Kingdom it is the law that a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue and

pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every twelve

months by a competent person (In the U.K, a CORGI registered installer).

We recommend that all gas appliances and their flues, wherever situated, are checked

annually.

Servicing

•In the United Kingdom servicing can be carried out either by a Valor Service engineer

or a CORGI registered installer.

•If you require your fire to be serviced, please contact Valor Service on 08706 090

081 and quote the following details;

a) model name and number.

b) appliance serial no. (To be found on a label near the bottom of the right side of the

case.)

•If you wish to replace any radiants and do not know where they can be obtained

please contact Valor Spares on 08706 000 454 for your nearest stockist.

•In the United Kingdom, for general advice about gas and your gas fire call the

VALOR TECHNICAL HELPLINE 08706 061 065.

•In the Republic of Ireland call 0044 08706 061 065 for all enquiries.
