REPLACING THE RADIANTS
(See figure 3)
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 tab 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 tab. The back of the radiant should rest
against the rear support bars and the bottom front edge should
be behind the retaining tab.
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.
Always use the correct type of replacement radiant. Ask for Valor
part number 544649 (GC No. 125 164).
MAINTENANCE
Debris from the chimney
The opening at the back of the appliance must be always kept
clear of obstruction. If the chimney has previously been used
for coal fires or is of normal construction it is possible that
loose mortar and soot can fall behind the appliance. This, in
time, may build up until the flue becomes restricted or even
blocked. The chimney should be checked annually to ensure
continued clearance of the combustion products and to ensure
that no excessive build up of soot or other debris occurs. The
appliance should be serviced regularly in order to ensure good
mechanical operation.
It is important that this work is carried out by a competent
person such as a CORGI registered installer.
General servicing
If you require any attention to your fire, contact your supplier
mentioning the model name and number. It will also be
helpful if the appliance serial number is quoted. This will be
found on a label on the right hand side of the case near the
bottom.
