items are present and undamaged.
5.2 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.

6 APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
6.1 Installing To A Hearth
6.1.1 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. The spigot must
enter the closure plate to a depth of at least 25mm.
6.1.2 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, retighten the lock nuts.
6.2 Wall Mounting
The fixing hole positions in relation to the
flue spigot opening are shown in figure 9.
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. woodscrews.
6.3 Gas Supply Connection
8mm rigid tubing must be used to connect
the gas supply to the appliance. An olive

Figure 10. Flue restrictor
adjustment
6.5 Flue Restrictor Adjustment
See figure 10.
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 BS5440: Part 1 Appendix A) or
where a pre-cast flue is used.
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.
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.
There may be certain exceptional circumstances where closing the restrictor causes the
fire to fail the spillage test (See section 9). In such cases the restrictor will have to be
reopened.
7 CONTROL & PRESSURE CHECKS
7.1 Check Control Settings
7.1.1 If closed,open the isolating valve at the inlet elbow.
7.1.2 To check the control positions temporarily place the outer case loosely over the
engine. Fit the control knob over the gas tap spindle.
7.1.3 Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise partially towards the 1/IGN
position until some resistance is felt. Keep depressed at this position for a few seconds to
purge air from the system then, while keeping it depressed, turn fully to the 1/IGN
position. A spark should be generated at the pilot while turning. The spark should ignite
the pilot. If it does not, keeping the knob depressed, continue to turn the knob
anticlockwise. A second spark should be generated at the pilot while turning. This spark
should ignite the pilot.
7.1.4 When pilot ignition has been achieved, keep the control knob depressed for
approximately ten seconds to allow the thermocouple probe to warm up and then release
it. If the pilot does not remain alight, ensure that the air has been purged, that the pilot

INSTALLER’S GUIDE
Page 16
orifice is clear and that the thermocouple connections are sound. Replace the pilot unit if
necessary (see servicing section of this manual).
7.1.5 Check all the control settings. These are: -
Knob
Position
Radiants Condition
2 Centre radiant on low. Outer radiants off.
3 Centre radiant fully on. Outer radiants off.
4 Centre radiant fully on. Outer radiants on low.
5 All radiants fully on.
7.2 Flame Supervision & Spillage Monitoring System
The pilot unit incorporates a system that will automatically shut off the gas supply if the
pilot flame goes out or if there is insufficient oxygen due to spillage or lack of
ventilation.
Check that the system operates properly as follows:
7.2.1 Light the appliance. Set at position 5 and leave for one minute.
7.2.2 Turn back to “OFF” to extinguish the pilot. Note the time when the pilot goes
out. Listen for a snap sound at the gas tap. Note the time when the sound is heard. An
electromagnetic valve shutting off the gas supply through the tap causes this sound. The
valve is located in the body of the tap. The valve should operate within 60 seconds of
the pilot going out. If the valve does not operate within this time limit do not allow the
appliance to be used until the fault has been corrected.
This monitoring system must not be adjusted, bypassed or put out of operation.
This monitoring system, or any of its parts, must only be exchanged using Valor
authorised parts.
7.3 Check Reference Pressure
The appliance is pre-set to give the correct heat input at the inlet pressure shown in
section 1 of this manual. No adjustment is necessary.
7.3.1 Detach the control knob from the spindle. Remove the outer case.
7.3.2 Check the burner pressure by fitting a pressure gauge at the test point. The test
point is on the gas tap. Refit the control knob to the spindle and check the pressure with
the appliance alight and set at maximum output (Control position 5).
7.3.3 After checking, turn off the appliance. Remove the pressure gauge and replace the
test point sealing screw. Relight the appliance. Turn to the maximum output position and
test around the sealing screw for gas soundness with a suitable leak detection fluid.
7.3.4 If all the above checks are satisfactory, continue with the installation. If not, check
the control and ignition circuitry and components as described in the servicing section of
this manual.

9 SPILLAGE CHECK
A spillage test must be made before the installed appliance is left with the customer.
1. Close all doors and windows in the room containing the
fire.
2. Light the appliance and set the control knob to the
maximum position (Position 5).
3. Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
4. Place a smoke match tube (with lighted match)
horizontally underneath the radiant box but touching the top
lip of the box. The tube should be between the two vertical
inner ribs of the centre radiant. The tip of the match should
project between 2mm and 5mm beyond the lowest edge of
the radiant box lip (The radiant box lip is behind the black
outer case panel). See figure 12.
5. The installation is satisfactory if the smoke is drawn into
the appliance. If the smoke is not drawn into the appliance,
leave the appliance alight at the maximum setting for a
further ten minutes and then repeat the test. If the smoke is still not drawn into the
appliance, inspect the sealing of the closure plate. If the sealing is satisfactory but the
appliance is installed with the flue restrictor in the closed position (see section 6.5),
reopen the restrictor, reseal the appliance and retest. If smoke is still not drawn into the
appliance Disconnect the appliance and seek expert advice

INSTALLER’S GUIDE
