LEANING YOUR
V
ALOR GAS FIRE
To maintain the high performance and quality finish of your Valor fire, please follow
these guidlines:
•
Before attempting to clean the fire, please remember to turn off the fire and wait
for the appliance to cool. The fire will retain heat for some time before cleaning
can begin.
•
If any pieces of debris are found in the fire box, have the chimney inspected
before further use.
Metal Parts
•
Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and then dry.
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners as these will scratch the fire surface.
Window Glass
•
Remove any stains on the window with a non-abrasive cleaner such as
a ceramic hob cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
•
The fire has been designed to so that you can remove the window
without having to call in a service engineer. This allows you to clean
the inside of the window.
To remove the window:
1.
Unscrew and remove the two knurled screws which are under the
outer case canopy (see figure 3).
2.
Pull the top of the window surround forward (see figure 4).
3.
Lift the window surround up to clear the slots in the case apron
(see figure 4). Put the surround in a safe place.
4.
Unscrew and remove the knurled screws at the bottom corners of
the window frame (see figure 5).
5.
Lift the window up to clear the top edge of the fire box (see
figure 5). Put the window in a safe place.
6.
Replace the window and surround after cleaning.
•
Make sure that the top of the window frame is fully hooked
over the top edge of the fire box.
•
Make sure that the outside edges of the window surround
sides are inside the outer case
