Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before
attempting to remove the radiants.
See figure 3.
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).
Regular maintenance
In order to achieve and maintain high levels of
personal safety and performance
efficiency, it is essential that the opening at the
back of the fire and the flue are kept clear of any
form of obstruction. It is possible that deposits of
mortar or soot could fall and accumulate causing
the flue to be blocked or restricted and so
preventing proper clearance of dangerous
exhaust fumes.
In the United Kingdom it is the law that a landlord
must have any gas appliance, flue and pipework
which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked
for safety at least every twelve months by a
competent person (In the U.K, a CORGI registered
installer).
We recommend that all gas appliances and their
flues, wherever situated, are checked annually.
General servicing
If you require any attention to your fire, contact
your supplier mentioning the model name and
number. If you require any attention to the outer
case or trims, state the case colour. 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.
