CLEANING YOUR FIRE
To maintain the high performance and quality finish of your Valor Fires appliance,
please follow these guidelines:
!
Before attempting to clean the fire, please remember to turn off the fire and wait
for the appliance to cool completely. The fire will retain heat for some time before
cleaning can begin.
!
If any pieces of debris are found in the hotbox, have the chimney inspected before
further use.
Metal parts.
!
Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp, lint free non-abrasive cloth and then
dry.
!
Do
not
use abrasive cleaners, as these will scratch the fire surface.
!

slightly damp cloth and then dry.
!
Vermont -
Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and then dry. If this
does not work apply a very small amount of ‘baby oil’ to a lint free, non-abrasive cloth
and wipe over the surface. Use a clean cloth to wipe off the oil.
Ceramic fuel effect and rear wall.
!
This product uses fuel effect pieces and burner compartment rear wall
containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous
silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this material may cause irritation to eyes,
skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important to take care when
handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
!
Light coatings of soot will usually be burnt off during the normal operation of the
fire.
!
Should any soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect pieces and walls
should be removed from the fire for cleaning.
!
Cleaning should be carried out in a well ventilated area or in the open air by
gently brushing with the pieces held away from your face so that you avoid inhaling
the dust.
!
We suggest that you remove the ceramic fuel effect in the reverse order to that
shown in the ceramic fuel effect installer and owner guide. This should have been left
inside or attached to this guide by the installer.
Burner.
!
The burner surface can be carefully cleaned to remove any loose particles after
taking off the ceramic fuel effect. Make sure that no particles are pushed into the
burner holes.
