5.4.2 An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this appliance, or in
any area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it does not affect the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the spillage test requirements detailed further on
in this manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.
5.4.3 Note that soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) are easily affected by
heat. They may scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating appliance.
Please bear this in mind when installing.
5.5 Chimney preparation.
5.5.1 If the appliance is intended to be installed to a chimney that was previously
used for solid fuel, the flue must be swept clean prior to installation. All flues should
be inspected for soundness and freedom from blockages.
5.5.2 Any chimney dampers or restrictors should be removed. If removal is not
possible they must be fixed in the open position.
5.6 Fireplace preparation.
5.6.1 The appliance can be fitted to a purpose made proprietary class “O” 150°C
surround.
5.6.2 If the fireplace opening is an underfloor draught type, it must be sealed to stop
any draughts.
5.6.3 The front of the fireplace should be flat over an area sufficient to ensure a good
seal with the closure plate. The flat surface should extend for a height equal to that of
the closure plate plus 20mm and for a width equal to that of the closure plate plus
40mm.
5.6.4 If the fire is to be fitted against a wall with
combustible cladding, the cladding must be
removed from the area shown in figure 1.
5.6.5 The space between the fireplace front face
and the back of the fascia must not be filled in.

5.7 Fireplace clearances.
5.7.1 To meet temperature requirements the minimum allowable distance from the
outside of the appliance fascia to a corner wall having combustible material or any
other combustible surface which projects beyond the front of the appliance is 100mm
at either side (See figure 2). Although no side clearance is necessary to non-
combustible surfaces we recommend a 100mm clearance for service access to the
fascia side fixings and for operating the slider control.
5.7.2 Allow a minimum clearance of 95mm from the top surface of the appliance
fascia to the underside of any shelf whether it is made from combustible or non-
combustible materials. This clearance is necessary to allow the fascia to be lifted off
for servicing.
For a shelf made from wood or other combustible materials deeper than 150mm,
the minimum clearance must be as below.
For a shelf up to 150mm deep: Minimum clearance = 95mm.
For a shelf deeper than 150mm: 95mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over
150mm (See figure 3).

5.8 The flue spigot.
5.8.1 The flue spigot and any spigot extension must be capable of passing through
the closure plate by at least 38mm with a minimum clearance of 50mm from its open
end and the nearest vertical surface (See figure 4).
5.8.2 A spigot extension is available (Valor part number 0595191). The spigot
extension is 120mm in length and it is recommended that it be fitted 20mm onto the
spigot. This will give a total spigot length of 150mm from the rear fixing plane of the
fire. When fitted this shall extend through the closure plate for at least 38mm and
have a minimum clearance of 50mm from its open end and the nearest vertical
surface.
5.9 The hearth.
The appliance must be mounted on a non-combustible hearth except when the
appliance is elevated 50mm above the finished floor as in figure 4 (N.B.
conglomerate marble hearths are considered as non-combustible). The hearth must
be at least 680mm wide x 300mm deep. The hearth material must be at least 12mm
thick. The periphery of the hearth (or fender) should be at least 50mm above floor
level to discourage the placing of carpets or rugs over it.

5.10 Installation options.
In the United Kingdom, as supplied, this appliance can be installed in the following
situations:
Conventional fireplace (Brick built).
A conventional fireplace catchment space must be as shown in figure 4.
Precast flue.
The appliance can be installed to a fireplace that has a properly constructed
precast concrete or clay flue block system conforming to BS EN 1858 or BS1289.
The appliance is suitable for installations conforming to older versions of BS1289 as
well as the current standards. The flue blocks must have a cross-sectional area not
less than 13,000mm2. Older editions of BS1289 required a cross-sectional area of
13,000mm2. The current revision of the standard requires 16,500mm2. This appliance
is suitable in both cases.
The chimney should be one or two storeys high but not less than 3m vertical height
and be correctly terminated. No mortar fangs between the blocks should be extruded
into the flue way. If raking blocks are used, they must be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Mortar must not be allowed to drop down and accumulate
in the raked positions.

5.12 The flue.
The following flues are suitable:
 225mm x 225mm conventional brick flue.
If a flue liner is used, it must be a minimum of 125mm diameter. The liner must be
sealed to the surrounding area above the fireplace opening and to the top of the
chimney. An approved terminal must be fitted.
 A properly constructed precast flue conforming to BS EN 1806, BS EN 1858 or
B.S 1289.
 A flue pipe with a minimum diameter of 127mm. See BS EN 15287-1 for suitable
materials. Metal flue pipes must comply with BS EN 1856 part 1.
 The flue must conform to BS 5440: Part 1 in design and installation.
The flue, measured from the bottom of the fireplace opening to the bottom of the
terminal, shall be not less than 3m in actual vertical height. When calculated in
accordance with BS 5440: Part 1 Annex B, the minimum equivalent height of the
flue shall be 2.0m of 125mm dia. flue pipe.
 The flue must be clear of any obstruction and its base must be clear of debris.
 The flue must be completely sealed so that combustion products do not come into
contact with combustible materials outside the chimney.
 The flue must serve only one fireplace.
 Proprietary terminals must comply with BS EN 1858, BS EN 1806 or BS 1289 and
older versions of BS 715. Any terminal or termination must be positioned in
accordance with BS 5440 Part 1 to ensure that the products of combustion can be
safely dispersed into the outside atmosphere. Where the appliance is connected
to an unlined brick chimney it is generally unnecessary for the chimney pot to be
replaced or for a terminal to be fitted unless the flue has a diameter smaller than
170mm.
6. PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION
6.1 Unpacking.
This appliance is supplied completely assembled except for:
 4 radiants which are in a cardboard pack inside the radiant box.
 The closure plate.
 Literature pack.
 An olive & olive nut for gas line connection.
 9V (PP3 / 6AM6 / 6LR61) Battery.
Remove all the items carefully to prevent damage. Some items may be contained in
the packaging fitments - Examine the packaging carefully before discarding. Check
that all the items are present and undamaged.
6.2 Appliance preparation.
1. Stand the fire upright.
2. Remove the two transit screws from near the top of the back panel wings (See
figure 6).

INSTALLER GUIDE

3. Remove the two knurled fascia retaining screws
located at the rear of the fascia near the bottom.
4. Gently pull the base of the fascia forward, then
lift the fascia up and forward to clear the rear top
location. Store in a safe place.
5. Remove the radiant pack by gently lifting and
pulling forward from the bottom.
6. Remove the cardboard strip from the top of the
burner area.
7. Remove any protective film from all the bright
trims.
6.3 Fitting the battery.
Fit the battery to the ignition block located to the
bottom right of the fire (See figure 7). The locations
for the +ve and -ve terminals are marked on the
battery holder.
6.4 Ignition.
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that
the electronic spark ignition system operates
satisfactorily. To initiate the spark, slide the control
knob down as far as it will go and retain in this
position. Sparks should be generated between the
electrode and thermocouple tip on the pilot unit. If
there are no sparks or incorrect tracking, check the
spark gap between the electrode wire and
thermocouple tip (See figure 8).
If the spark gap is correct, check the ignition wiring.
6.5 Fireplace flue pull.
Close all doors and windows in the room in which the
appliance is to be installed. After confirming with a match
that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram smoke
pellet and check that there is a definite flow through the
flue. Verify outside that the smoke exits from one
terminal only and that the termination is suitable.
Observe, where possible, upstairs rooms and loft spaces
for signs of escaping smoke indicating a defective flue. If
there is not a definite flow warm the flue for a few
minutes and repeat the smoke pellet test. If there is still
no definite flow the flue may need remedial work – Do
not fit the appliance until there is a definite flow
through the flue.

Figure 7. Fitting the battery
Figure 6. Transit screws.

6.6 Fitting the closure plate.
 The spigot opening in the closure plate has two ‘flange’ sections. Flange 1 is to
be left as supplied. Fold Flange 2 along the perforated line. The closure plate
has an opening at the bottom for a central gas feed pipe. The gap between
the pipe and this opening should be sealed with tape after connection. If a
central feed pipe is not required the opening should be completely sealed
with tape.
The closure plate dimensions will now be as shown in figure 9.
 The closure plate must be fitted and sealed to the fireplace opening and hearth
(where applicable) using a suitable heat resistant material. If necessary cut the
closure plate but make sure that it overlaps the fireplace opening sufficiently to
allow satisfactory sealing. Make sure that the square air relief opening is fully
within the fireplace opening.
 Check the flue pull with closure plate fitted by applying a lighted match or smoke
match to the flue spigot opening in the closure plate and observe the smoke. If
there is a definite flow continue with the installation. If not check the fitting of the
closure plate. The fireplace flue pull check described in section 6.5 should have
confirmed that the fireplace itself is satisfactory.

INSTALLER GUIDE

7. APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
7.1 Installing to a hearth.
1. Place the fire centrally on the hearth making sure that the spigot lines up with the
spigot hole in the closure plate. Gently slide the appliance into place, being careful
not to scratch the hearth.The spigot must enter the closure plate to a depth of at
least 38mm.
2. Level the fire by loosening the lock nuts and turning the levelling screws in the feet
up or down as required while they bear on the hearth. When the fire is level and
square to the wall, tighten the lock nuts.
7.2 Wall mounting.
The fixing hole positions in relation to the
flue spigot opening are shown in figure 10.
Mark these positions on the wall. The
positions can alternatively be marked by
placing the fire in position and marking the
wall through the holes in the back panel.
Drill and plug the holes using no.10 wall
plugs. Place the fire in position and secure
with four no.10 x 2in. wood screws.
7.3 Gas supply connection.
8mm rigid tubing must be used to connect
the gas supply to the appliance. An olive
and nut are provided for connection to the
inlet “T” connector on the appliance. The
connector can be rotated to allow
connection from either side or the rear. The
connector includes a valve for isolating the gas supply, ensure that the isolating valve
is open then replace the end cap.
Pressure check the installation pipework for gas soundness. In the United Kingdom
check in accordance with the current edition of BS6891. In the Republic of Ireland
refer to the current edition of IS 813 “Domestic gas installations”.
7.4 Radiants installation.
Important: Fit the radiants ensuring that their rear face rests against the horizontal
ribs in the rear panel. There will be a small gap between their bottom front edges and
the retaining channel at the front of the radiant box.

7.5 Flue restrictor adjustment.
The appliance has an integral adjustable flue draught restrictor. This is supplied set in
the fully open (unrestricted) position and in most cases no adjustment should be
necessary. It can be reset to a fully restricted position if the flue draught is excessive.
The restrictor must remain in its fully open position if the flue has an equivalent height
of 4m or less (as calculated in accordance with BS 5440: Part 1 Annex B). Generally
we recommend the restrictor is NOT fitted where a precast flue is used, however,
certain flues may work sufficiently to warrant its use. There may however, be
circumstances where closing the restrictor causes the fire to fail the spillage test. In
such cases the restrictor will have to be re-opened. After opening conduct the spillage
check again.
To close the restrictor:
1. Loosen the screw situated behind the cut-out
in the black upper heat shield. Do not fully
remove the screw (See figure 11).
2. Push the restrictor firmly down as far as it will
go. The top of the slot in the restrictor bracket
should touch the screw.
3. Fully tighten the screw.
If closing the restrictor causes the fire to fail the
spillage test it will have to be reopened.
To open the restrictor:
1. Loosen the screw situated behind the cut-out
in the black upper heat shield. Do not fully
remove the screw (See figure 11).
2. Push the restrictor firmly up as far as it will
go. The bottom of the slot in the restrictor bracket should touch the screw.
3. Fully tighten the screw.
8. CONTROL AND PRESSURE CHECKS
Please note:
When operating the fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which could
set off smoke alarms in the vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new
appliances. They are totally harmless and will disappear after a few hours use.
8.1 Check control settings.
1. Make sure the slider button is at the off (O) position (Topmost position).
2. Slide the button to the bottom. This is the ignition/ low ( L) position. Retain in this
position to ignite the pilot. The pilot flame can be seen through a hole immediately in
front of the centre radiants. The centre radiants should ignite within 4 seconds of the
