1. HANDLING AND UNPACKING
Before continuing any further with the installation of this heater please read the
following:
Important instructions.
A carry handle is fitted to the top of the heater. We recommend that this is used
when moving the heater.
The approximate lifting weights (kg) of the heater parts are listed below:
Model Heat engine Fascia Spacer
Dream 9.52 12.54 1.0*
* Although the heater is supplied with a spacer frame, an optional spacer frame kit is
obtainable either from your heater supplier or direct from Valor Fires Sales. The kit is
an 80mm spacer kit (Kit number 0582631). This spacer when added to the one
supplied with the heater enables the heater to be flat wall fixed.
One person should be sufficient to lift the heater. 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 heater.
Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
Always keep the heater as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the
cantilever action.
Use gloves to provide additional grip.
Always use assistance if required.
2. SAFETY
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Always
Always install the heater in accordance with this guide. If in doubt obtain
expert advice.
Always make sure the electrical socket is accessible and located adjacent to,
but not above or behind the heater.

Always disconnect the heater from the electrical supply before carrying out
cleaning or maintenance.
Always use a fireguard when young children and infirm persons can come into
contact with the heater.
Always use genuine Valor Fires spares.
Never
Never leave children unsupervised in a room where the heater is ON and
unguarded.
Never obstruct or cover the fan outlet or force items into heater openings.
Never install or use the heater anywhere where water is in use, i.e.
Bathrooms, Kitchens, Shower Rooms and Swimming Pools etc.
Never use aerosols or steam cleaners on or around the heater.
Never route the electric cable under carpet etc.
Never install the heater close to curtains or combustible materials.
Never use the heater to dry clothes etc.
Never sit or stand on the heater.
Never use the heater with a timer switch or similar device.
Important Electrical Safety
The heater must not be located in front of or under an electrical socket; the socket
must always be accessible in order to disconnect the heater 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 heater must be earthed.
The heater 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 heater 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 heater and the electrical supply shall comply with current IEE
regulations. Extension leads should not be used.

The following kit is obtainable either from your heater supplier or direct from Valor
Fires Sales.
Spacer frame kit 0582631.
4. FITTING THE HEATER
Important: Before continuing with the installation of this heater please ensure
that you have completed the information on the last page of this guide.
Please read this section thoroughly before positioning the heater.
Do I need any tools?
Depending upon the chosen method of installation you may need the following tools: -
For Spacer frame or screw fixed installations you will need A Pozidrive / Phillips
/ cross head screwdriver. This should have a number 2 size tip.
If wire fixing and drilling into brickwork you will need a power drill (preferably with
hammer action) and appropriate size drill bit for the wall plugs supplied.
Where and how can you fit the heater?
Q Can the heater be installed into a ‘hole in the wall’ (elevated opening)?
A We do not recommend the heater for this type of installation.
Q Do you want to fit the heater into a surround or fireplace opening without
the spacer frame?
A The minimum rebate / depth required is 145mm.

Q What opening size do you need in the surround or fireplace opening?
A This heater can be fitted into fireplaces or surrounds where the following
dimensions are available.
Width 395mm - 450 mm
Height 555mm - 590 mm
Depth At least 145mm
Q Do you want to fit the heater into a surround using the spacer frame
supplied with the heater?
A The minimum rebate required is 65mm.
Q Do you want to fit the heater against a flat wall with the base of the heater
on a hearth or similar surface?
A You will need to purchase the optional spacer frame kit (kit number 0582631).
This spacer when added to the one supplied with the heater enables the heater
to be flat wall fixed. The depth of the combined spacer frames is 160mm.
General notes to read before fitting your heater.
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.
If fitting the heater onto a reflective or shiny surface such as a hearth we recommend
that this surface does not extend further than 300mm from the fixing plane (wall).
Reflective or shiny surfaces that project further than 300mm may reflect an image of
the internal light source.
Fitting the cable clamp.
If the mains cable is to be routed to the left hand
side of the heater there is a cable clamp supplied
with the heater to hold the cable in place. This
prevents the cable being trapped under the heater
during installation. Fit the cable clamp as in figure
1.

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 (See figure 2). The
polarity of the batteries is marked on the
inside of the battery compartment.
If the heater does not respond to the remote
control handset commands, it is likely that the
batteries are faulty or require replacement.

The heater must be secured into position to prevent it from being tipped over.
The following securing options are available:
Method A - Securing the heater with Screws.
Method B - Securing the heater with Wire.
Method C - Securing the heater using the Spacer Frame supplied with the
heater.
Method D - Securing the heater using the Optional Spacer Frame (kit number
0582631).
If fitting the heater into a fireplace or surround opening, try the heater in the opening
to ensure that it will fit.
If fitting the heater onto a decorative hearth surface such as marble or tile it is
advisable to protect the hearth surface. Do not drag the heater as the surface finish
may be damaged.
Method A - Securing with screws.
Note - If fixing to marble it is recommended that
Method B - ‘Securing with wire’ is used. Drilling
marble without the correct tools and experience may
result in the marble cracking.
1. Place the heater into the fireplace or surround
opening. Make sure that the heater is in the middle
of the surround or fireplace.
2. There are two slotted holes in the top of the heater
and four holes in the side flanges (See figure 4). We
recommend the use of two upper holes and two
lower holes. Mark through the required holes so that
their position is clear when the heater is removed.
3. Remove the heater.
4. Drill an appropriate size hole in each of the
marked positions for the wall plugs supplied. Insert
wall plugs into the drilled holes.
5. Place the heater so that the holes are in line with
the wall plugs in the fixing surface.
6. Screw and secure the heater with four wood screws - (See figure 3 and 4).
Method B - Securing with wire.
This method of securing is recommended where the wall / brickwork is in poor
condition or where marble back panels / surrounds are used.
