REPLACING THE RADIANTS

Always use the correct type of replacement radiant. Ask for Valor part number
5132071 (Single Radiant).
Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before attempting to remove the radiants

.

(See figure 4).

Remove the dress guard by pressing down the two hooks at the top. Tilt the guard
forward and lift out.

Lift the radiant upward 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 rear face of the radiants rest against the horizontal
ribs in the rear panel. There will be a small gap between their bottom front
edges and the retaining channel at the front of the radiant box.

Replace the dress guard. Locate the bottom of the dress guard in the two holes in
the bottom panel apron. Push the guard back so that the two spring projections at
the top of the guard engage in the slots under the front decorative canopy.
