INSTALLER GUIDE

1. HANDLING AND UNPACKING
Before continuing any further with the installation of this firefront please read the
following:
Important instructions.
A carry handle is fitted to the top of the firefront. We recommend that this is used
when moving the firefront.
The approximate lifting weights (kg) of the firefront parts are listed below:
Model Heat engine Fascia Spacer
Classica 9.52 9.73 1.0*
Dream 9.52 12.54 1.0*
Innova 9.52 7.88 1.0*
Regalia 9.52 5.40 1.26*
*See section 3.
One person should be sufficient to lift the firefront. If for any reason this weight is
considered too heavy then obtain assistance.
When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.
Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
Avoid upper body / top heavy bending. Always bend from the knees rather than
the waist. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst handling the firefront.
Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
Always keep the firefront as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the
cantilever action.
Use gloves to provide additional grip.
Always use assistance if required.

Always

unguarded.
Never obstruct or cover the fan outlet or force items into firefront openings.
Never install or use the firefront anywhere where water or high humidity is in use,
i.e. Bathrooms, Kitchens, Shower Rooms and Swimming Pools etc (It is accepted
that the firefront will stand in front of a boiler).

The firefront must not be located in front of or under an electrical socket; the socket
must always be accessible in order to disconnect the firefront from the electrical
supply for maintenance and cleaning.
CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut out,
this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a
timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

Important! This firefront must be earthed.
The firefront is supplied with a 3 pin 13 Amp fused re-wireable plug with 1mm²
3 core cable.
The wires in the cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:-
Live = Brown
Neutral = Blue
Earth = Green /Yellow
The electric supply must be safely routed from the firefront to an electrical socket.
If the electric cable is damaged, to avoid a hazard it must be replaced by a Valor
Fires authorised service agent, or similarly qualified person.All external wiring
between the firefront and the electrical supply shall comply with current IEE
regulations. Extension leads should not be used.
Never connect the boiler and firefront to the same socket / spur. The fuse ratings
are different and subsequent damage may occur.
3. OPTIONAL KITS
Although the firefront is supplied with a 50mm deep spacer frame, an optional 50mm
deep spacer frame kit is obtainable either from your firefront supplier or direct from
Valor Fires Sales. The spacer kit is an addition to the spacer supplied with the
firefront. If you want the firefront to be fitted against a flat wall it will be necessary to
purchase two kits, they are designed to be secured together.

5. FITTING THE FIREFRONT
Important: Before continuing with the installation of this firefront please ensure
that you have completed the information on the last page of the owner guide.
This includes boiler information.
It is important to install the boiler before installing the firefront.
Please read this section thoroughly before positioning the firefront.
Fitting the batteries to the remote control handset.
The remote control handset uses 2 x 1.5V AAA type batteries. For longer battery life
use only alkaline batteries. To install the batteries, slide the cover down on the rear of
the handset and remove. The polarity of the batteries is marked on the inside of the
battery compartment.
If the firefront does not respond to the remote control handset commands, it is likely
that the batteries are faulty or require replacement.
Fitting the cable clamp.
If the mains cable is to be routed to the left hand
side of the firefront there is a cable clamp
supplied with the firefront to hold the cable in
place. This prevents the cable being trapped
under the firefront during installation. Fit the cable
clamp as in figure 3.

Do I need any tools?
You will need a Pozidrive / Phillips / cross head screwdriver. This should have a
number 2 size tip.
Where and how can you fit the firefront?
Q What opening size do you need in the surround or fireplace opening?
A This firefront can be fitted into fireplaces or surrounds where the following
dimensions are available.
Model Classica, Dream and Innova Regalia
Width 390mm - 490 mm 390mm - 490 mm
Height 560mm - 595 mm 560mm - 575 mm
Depth At least 95mm At least 95mm
Q Can the firefront be installed into a ‘hole in the wall’ (elevated opening)?
A We do not recommend the firefront for this type of installation.
Q Do you want to fit the firefront into a surround or fireplace opening without
the optional spacer frame?
A The minimum rebate / depth required is 95mm.
Q Do you want to fit the firefront into a surround using the optional spacer
frame?
A The minimum rebate required is 45mm.
Q Do you want to fit the firefront against a flat wall with the base of the
firefront on a hearth or similar surface?
A You will need to purchase two optional spacer frame kits - See section 3. These
spacers when added to the one supplied with the firefront enable the firefront to
be flat wall fixed. The depth of the combined spacer frames is 150mm.
General notes to read before fitting your firefront.
Ensure that the boiler has been commissioned and the benchmark checklist in
the boiler installation guide completed.
There should be at least 50mm clearance between the top of the fascia and anything
such as a shelf, fireplace surround or mantel etc. This will allow the fascia to be lifted
off or removed during servicing. To check the shelf clearance gently place the fascia
against the surface to which it is to be fixed and measure the distance from the top of
the fascia.
