Raise the fascia to allow the retaining lugs at the top to clear the slots in the convection box hood and then lift clear. Place the fascia in a safe place away from your immediate work area. Window and ceramic fuel effect removal.
INSTALLER GUIDE 6.3 Preliminary checks. Check ignition spark (See figure 9). The pilot burner and electrode unit is at the left front corner of the burner. Push in the right hand control knob and turn anticlockwise through the ignition position marked and up to the pilot position marked . A spark should flash across from the pilot electrode to the pilot burner hood. If there is no spark, check that the spark gap is as shown. Figure 9. Ignition 7.
INSTALLER GUIDE 8. WALL PREPARATION 8.1 Select appliance position. The flue must be installed so that it is at right angles to the back panel of the fire all round the flue circumference. For timber framed buildings make sure that the flue opening will be between studs. When being recessed into a non-combustible wall or builders opening the fire itself should be fitted vertically against a flat wall.
INSTALLER GUIDE structure above is secure and safe. Make the opening below the lintel by removing the masonry and clearing debris. If the cavity has loose fill (e.g. granular) insulation material, pack the edges of the opening with Rockwool as you proceed to hold back the insulating material. 8.2.2 Preparing a wall cavity. The wall cavity must not be bridged other than by the flue unit. The appliance case must not project into the cavity between the inner and outer walls by more than 10mm.
INSTALLER GUIDE Ask for Valor Fires part no. 0591221. The insulating sheet can be used to seal the annular gap between the flue unit and the inner leaf sleeve (See section 8.5). Do not permanently fix the insulating sheet to the wall at this stage (See section 9.2). 8.4 Cutting the flue hole for brick, stone etc. building. Cut the hole for the flue unit. Make sure that it is straight and level.
INSTALLER GUIDE non-combustible sleeve 203mm (8in.) diameter will be required round the flue (See figure 12). Cut a hole through the inner leaf to accommodate a non-combustible sleeve 203mm (8in.) outside diameter. To minimise the effect of breaking through the vapour control layer (VCL), if possible, cut the hole approximately 10mm undersize so that the sleeve will be forced through the layer. A recommended technique for cutting the inner leaf is shown in figure 12.
INSTALLER GUIDE 8.6 Prepare appliance fixing holes. 8.6.1 Screwing case to wall. Recheck the position of the screw fixing holes relative to the flue hole. Drill the four fixing holes to a minimum depth of 42mm using a suitably sized masonry drill for the wall plugs supplied. Insert four plastic wall plugs supplied. 8.6.2 Using cable retention. Thread the two tension cables through the appliance case side holes as shown in figure 13.
