The heater must
not
be located under a fixed electrical socket. The socket must always be accessible
in order to disconnect the heater from the electrical supply for maintenance or when replacing a lamp.

Important! This heater must be earthed.
The heater is supplied with a 3 pin 13A fused
re-wireable plug with 1mm². 3 core mains cable,
L = Brown
N = Blue E= Green/Yellow
•
The mains supply cable must be safely routed from the heater to an electrical socket. Provision is
made for left/right or rear cable entry. Using one of the three cable guides at the base of the heater. To
relocate, open the appropriate latch on the cable guide and refit the mains cable into the required
position. If the mains cable is damaged, to avoid a hazard it must be replaced by a Valor authorised
service agent, or a similarly qualified person.
•
The heater body should be fixed in position before the front surround is finally fitted.
•
Please study the illustrations carefully to avoid damage to the heater.
Front Removal
•
Remove the tape holding the lower front & coal support to the heater base.
•
Carefully lift the lower front & coal support up to release it from the keyholes in the surround and
then pull forward and clear. See figure 1.
•
Carefully remove the front surround by removing the two trim fixing screws and lifting upwards and
forward – See figure 2.
•
Keep the lower front, front surround and screws in a safe place when installing the fire.
•
Offer the heater body to the fireplace opening to ensure that it will fit before continuing to install.
Appliance Fixing
Method A – Screw Fix
•
There are two slots in the top flange – See figure 3. Mark the fixing position through the slots.
Remove the heater.
•
Drill a hole with a No.12 drill bit at each marked position.
•
Insert the wall plugs provided.
•
Reposition the heater body and screw through the slots to provide a secure fixing.
Method B – Wire Fix
•
A steel wire and eyebolt are supplied to attach the heater to the back of the fireplace opening.
•
Mark the position for the eyebolt at the back of the fireplace opening equal to the centre line of the
heater and at a height of 533 – 560mm. Drill, plug and screw in the eyebolt – See figure 4.
•
Thread one end of the steel wire through two holes in the top flange, passing the wire through the
eyebolt and out through one of the opposite holes on the top flange – See figure 5.
•
Place the heater in the fireplace opening, then by gently pulling the steel wire, gather up the excess
until the heater is firm. Thread the wire back through the remaining hole to lock the wire and heater in
place – See figure 5.
Method C – With optional 20mm Wall Spacer

The spacer should be fixed to the fireplace opening or surround using the screws provided. The
heater must then be fixed to the spacer using the screws provided. (See kit instructions).
Method D – With optional 75mm Wall Spacer Kit

Carefully lift the front surround. Hook the front surround onto the retaining plates on the heater body
and lower the front surround down – See figure 7.
•
Fix the front surround to the heater body with the two screws previously removed.
Final Assembly

Refit the lower front & coal support by locating the four screw heads at the back into the keyholes in
the surround and then lowering the support.

Open the polythene bag containing the loose coals and place them on top of the coal support to give
the most pleasing effect. It is not necessary to use all the coals supplied.
