SERVICING & MAINTENANCE
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
It is important that your fire is regularly serviced in
accordance with these instructions. This should be
carried out at least annually by a qualified person
and should consist of the following.
Remove the firebricks lining and throat plate,
inspect all gasketing on doors, glass etc., and
re-order any items that may need replacing, from
your Valor dealer. With a wire brush clean inside
the appliance paying particular attention to the
small inlet holes of the air wash on the inside,
above the fire door and to the door.
Sweep the chimney and confirm that it is sound.
Examine all joints in the flue pipe etc., and re-seal
if necessary.
SUMMER STORAGE/NON USAGE
Please ensure that your stove is left clean and mov-
ing components are well lubricated for the summer
months (during periods of prolonged non-use). If
possible store the throat plate outside the stove,
check all moveable components, at regular inter-
vals, to ensure they are moving freely.
Allow air movement through the stove, by opening
the airwash and primary air inlets controls to about
half way open or leave the door ajar. This will allow
a free flow of air through the appliance thus pre-
venting moisture and condensation from building
up inside the fire and chimney. This should ensure
it stays in the best condition for the coming winter
months.
DISASSEMBLE AIRWASH
The air wash may be disassembled for cleaning or
adjustment. To achieve this, the following
procedure should be followed:
This should only be carried out when the fire is cold
and unlit.
•Unscrew (Anti-clockwise) the airwash control
knob, see Fig. 10.
•Move cover up by tapping each end of the front
cover.
•Lift cover free from body, being careful to not
damage the ends of each lug on the cover see Fig.
11.
•Slide off the spacer from the centre stud and retain
for re-assembly.
•Unscrew the inner slider and clean / replace, see
Fig. 12.(Page 16)
•Refit using the reverse of this procedure.
