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
Classica 8.21 9.73 1.0*
Innova 8.21 7.88 1.0*
Regalia 8.21 5.40 N/A**
* 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
a 71mm spacer kit (Kit number 0584081). This spacer when added to the one
supplied with the heater enables the heater to be flat wall fixed.
** The Regalia model is not intended for wall mounting or installations requiring the
use of a spacer frame.
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

4. FITTING THE HEATER
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 The heater is suitable for ‘hole in the wall’ installations; these being installations
where the heater is recessed into a builders opening.This is not referring to the
heater being hung on the wall. It is important that the electrical socket is
accessible and located adjacent to, but not above or behind the heater.
(The Classica and Regalia fascias have been designed for traditional installations
where the base of the fascia sits on a hearth or similar surface. For this reason
we recommend that a plinth be fitted under the heater).
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 71mm. This method is not applicable on the
Regalia model.
Page 7
INSTALLER AND OWNER GUIDE
© Baxi Heating U.K. Limited 2009.

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 0584081).
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 145mm. This
method is not applicable on the Regalia model.
Q Do you want to wall mount the heater against a flat wall?
A You will need to purchase the Optional spacer frame kit (kit number 0584081)
and an Elevated installation kit (kit number 0584091). The optional spacer
when added to the one supplied with the heater covers the full depth of the
heater rear (145mm). This method is not applicable on the Regalia model.
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 lamp.
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 Classica fascia has been designed for traditional installations where the
base of the fascia sits on a hearth or similar surface. For this reason we do not
recommend the Classica model for wall mounting).
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.

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.
Although this section deals with fireplace
openings without a spacer, this method of
securing the heater can also be used with the
spacer frame supplied with the heater (See
point 7 and figure 8 of method C). It can also
be used with the optional spacer frame (See
point 7 and figure 9 of method D).
1. The fixing kit supplied with the heater
includes a tension wire and eyescrew. These
can be used to secure the heater to the back
of a surround / fireplace opening.
2. Mark the eyescrew position on the centre
line at the back of the fireplace opening and at
a height of 565-575mm (See
figure 5).
3. Drill an appropriate size hole
in the marked position.
4. Insert a wall plug into the
drilled hole.
5. Screw the eyescrew into the
wall plug.
6. Position the heater in front of
the fireplace opening.
7. At the top of the heater there
are four small holes, two each
side of the heater. From the
front of the heater, thread about
50mm of the tension wire into
the outside small hole on the right side of the heater (See point 1 - figure 6).
8. Thread the other end of the wire through the remaining small hole to the left.
Continue to push the wire through this hole until there is only a small loop of wire at
the front of the heater (See point 2 - figure 6).
9. At the back of the heater there will be a long piece and a short piece of wire
coming through the two holes. Hold the short piece and give the long piece a gentle
tug. This will secure the tension wire. Take the long piece and thread this through the
eyescrew in the back of the fireplace opening (See figure 6).
10. From the back of the heater thread the long piece of tension wire through the
inner small hole on the left hand side of the heater (See figure 6).

pull the tension wire on the right hand side to gather up the excess until the heater is
secure. Thread the wire through the remaining small hole to lock the wire and heater
in place (See point 4 - figure 6).
Method C - Securing with the Spacer Frame supplied with the heater.
The spacer frame is for use in installations where the chimney recess or rebate in the
surround / mantle is not deep enough to take
the full depth of the heater. The minimum rebate
/ depth required is 71mm.
For your safety the frame and heater must be
securely fixed to the rear wall.
The rear of the spacer has two screw location
slots in the top flange. These should be to the
rear when fitting.
1. Position the spacer frame against the wall.
Ensure that the spacer frame is central to the
fireplace.
2. The top rear flange of the spacer frame has
two screw locations. Mark the positions of the
two screw locations on the rear wall (See
figure 7).
3. Remove the spacer frame from the fireplace
and place away from the work area.
4. Drill the locations using a suitably sized
masonry drill bit for the wall plugs supplied.

the Classica model for wall mounting).
Fitting a wall mounting bracket to the wall.
When wall mounting your heater we recommend that the heater be mounted no more
than 240mm from the floor. To achieve
this, the hole centres in the wall
mounting bracket must be no more than
700mm from the floor (See figure 10).
Mounting the heater above this may
affect the visual appearance of the fuel
effect.
If fitting to a conventional brick wall then
use the outer slotted holes in the
bracket. If fitting to a plasterboard wall
that has a wooden frame behind it then
use all four fixing holes in the bracket.
This is required to spread the load.
If the wall plugs supplied are not
satisfactory, purpose made plasterboard
fixings can be purchased from DIY
outlets.
1. Mark the positions of the hanging
bracket holes on the wall. We recommend the use of a spirit level to ensure that the
bracket is level.

6. OPERATING THE HEATER
Never cover the heater or obstruct the opening at the base of the heater, this
could cause overheating and consequent risk of fire.
The appliance can be controlled by the manual control located on the lower left hand
side of the heater or by using the remote control handset.
How does the heating element operate?
The heating element on the heater has a fixed 2kW output, and is controlled by an
electronic thermostat. The heating element operates to reach a preset temperature,
which when achieved, will result in the heating element and heater fan switching off.
When the thermostat detects a temperature below the preset temperature, the heater
fan and heating element will switch on automatically, according to room temperature
and chosen thermostat setting. The heater fan and element will therefore cycle off
and on during normal operation.
Remote Control - What do the buttons do?
Pressing the red ‘ON/OFF’ button.
To activate the remote handset it is necessary to press the red
ON/OFF button. The status lamp on the heater will turn green -

7. CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE HEATER
Important Safety.
Before undertaking maintenance always disconnect the heater from the electricity
supply by removing the 3 pin plug and allowing the heater to cool.
How do I Clean my heater?
The heater and plastic parts need only to be wiped clean with a dry soft cloth; do not
use polishes or abrasive materials. This is especially important when cleaning the
effects screen.
I have a problem with my heater!
1. My remote control does not work.
The batteries in the remote control handset probably need replacing - See section 4
and figure 2. The heater can be operated manually as on page 19.
2. My heater is switched on but there is no light or heat.
The first thing to do is check the wall socket. To do this plug in a known working
appliance. If the appliance you have plugged in works then there is a good chance
that the problem lies with the 13 Amp fuse in the heater plug. If either fuse or socket
is suspected, have them checked by an electrician.
3. My heater is on but there is no heat and the heater fan has stopped.
The heating element on the heater has a fixed 2kW output, and is controlled by an
electronic thermostat. The heating element operates to reach a preset temperature,
which when achieved, will result in the heating element and heater fan switching off.
When the thermostat detects a temperature below the preset temperature, the heater
fan and heating element will switch on automatically, according to room temperature
and chosen thermostat setting. The heater fan and element will therefore cycle off
and on during normal operation.
Alternatively check the thermostat lamp setting. It may be that you want the room
warmer and need to increase the thermostat setting.
Thermostat lamp colour Thermostat setting
Green Low
Amber Medium
Red High
Alternatively a cut out device is fitted to the heater to prevent damage due to
over heating. If it operates due to an obstruction in the airflow, the heater must be
turned off and allowed to cool for 15 minutes and the obstruction removed before
restarting.
