Siting
Your Valor stove is designed to be free
standing on a level surface but when siting
it please bear the following points in mind.
TNever use the stove anywhere where
water is in use, i.e. bathrooms, shower
rooms etc.
TIf you are placing it in an alcove, make
sure that the side clearances are at
least as shown in figure 1.
TAlthough your stove complies with all
the safety standards some types of floor
coverings (e.g. vinyl tiles, synthetic deep pile
carpets) may be affected by the hot air from the fan. If
this could apply to your floor covering, we suggest that
you place the stove on a shallow plinth which projects
approximately 20cm forward of the front feet (See figure 1).
TKeep loose hearthrugs etc. away from the front of the stove. They could obstruct
the free flow of hot air from the fan.
TDo not locate the stove immediately under a fixed electrical socket. The socket must always be
accessible so that the stove can be easily disconnected.
TDo not route the mains supply cable under carpet etc.

Important! This appliance must be earthed.
The stove is supplied with a 3 pin 13A fused rewireable plug with a 1mm23core mains cable.
If the plug is not suitable for your socket, remove the plug and fit an appropriate plug. If in doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:-
Green & Yellow = Earth
Blue = Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, fit the wires as follows:-
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter Nor coloured Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured Red.
If the mains cable is damaged then, for your safety, it must be replaced with an approved cable by
your Valor authorised service agent or a qualified electrician.
The stove is supplied fully assembled except for the coals or logs.
Place the stove in its proper location.
Open the stove doors.
IMPORTANT: Before using the fire for the first
time please check that the flame effect drum is
correctly positioned. The drum can sometimes
become dislodged during transit.
To check:
•Lift out the plastic fuel support
•You will see two lamp bulbs with the drum
above them.
•The drum has a spring loaded axle at its right
hand end. This should fit into the hollow
recess in the black plastic holder. See figure
1a.
•If the drum is out of position simply push it
back into the recess.
•Replace the plastic fuel support.
Coal versions: A plastic glove is supplied
for use when handling the coals.Open the
bag containing the coals. Using the plastic
glove supplied, place the coals on and in
front of the plastic fuel support. Arrange
the coals to your liking. You do not have
to use all the coals.
Log versions: Place logs “A”,”B” and “C”
into the recesses in the plastic fuel
support. See figure 1b. Logs “D” and ”E”
can be placed wherever you prefer (Figure
1b gives one suggestion).
Close the stove doors.

Operation
Never cover the stove or obstruct
the fan outlet grille under the
stove. This could cause
overheating and a consequent risk
of fire.
The controls are near the top of the
right side of the stove. The controls are
shown in figure 2.
Main on – off switch. In the on ( ❙) position the fuel effect light is on.
Cool blow switch. Blows cool air only. When using the cool blow turn the thermostat to a high
setting (See below). The flame effect light can be extinguished by turning down the dimmer
control (See below).
Full heat switch (2kW). Blows hot air. The flame effect light is on. The light can be adjusted
using the dimmer switch (See below). The room temperature can be controlled by the
thermostat control (See below).
Light dimmer control. Allows you to adjust the brightness of the flame effect. At the lowest
position it turns the effect off.
Thermostat control. Allows you to adjust the room temperature. The thermostat controls the
temperature by turning the heat on and off as the room temperature rises or falls.
Note 1. Once the thermostat on the appliance has turned the heater off it is normal for the
heater to take a while to turn back on again. It is suggested that the thermostat
control is adjusted to a higher setting if the delay is excessive.
2. When using the cool blow switch, turn the thermostat control to a high position.
Safety cut–out
Your stove incorporates a thermal cut-out in the heating element to prevent damage due to
overheating. The cut-out will operate if the fan air outlet is obstructed. If this happens, switch the
stove off, disconnect the mains plug from the socket and allow the stove to cool then remove the
obstruction if possible. If the obstruction can not be removed or if the cut-out operates for some
other reason, leave the stove switched off and contact your service agent or other qualified
electrician.

Maintenance
Always disconnect the stove from the electricity supply socket
and allow the stove to cool before commencing any
maintenance.
Lamp Replacement
The lamps fitted to this stove are long life types but, due to the
indeterminate life span and ease of replacement, they are
specifically excluded from the guarantee
Open the stove door.
Lift out the coals or logs and the fuel support and place on a sheet
of paper. See figure 3.
Remove the lamp by carefully rotating it anti-clockwise until it comes out of the holder.
Replace with a 60W clear Edison screw lamp. Do not use opaque or coloured lamps.
Refit the fuel support and coals or logs.
Cleaning
The stove surfaces and door glass should only need occasional wiping with a soft dry cloth. Do not
use polishes or abrasive cleaners.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment occasionally to remove any dust or fluff from
the fan air outlet grille underneath the stove.
Fault Finding
No light or low light level from the flame effect but fan and heater element are working:
Check that the light dimmer control is set at high. If it is, there is most likely a lamp failure. Check
and change any defective lamp as described above. If the lamps are not defective and are correctly
screwed into the holders but the fault persists get expert advice.
No heat but the fan and flame effect light are working: The thermal safety cut-out may have
operated. The cut-out will operate if the fan air outlet is obstructed. Switch the stove off,
disconnect the mains plug from the socket and allow the stove to cool. Look for and remove any
obstruction if possible. If an obstruction can not be removed, or if the cut-out operates for some
other reason, leave the stove switched off and get expert advice.
No heat or flame effect light and the fan is not working: Check that the fuse in the stove plug
is functional. If so, check that the wall socket is satisfactory by plugging in another appliance which
you know is working. If there is no problem with the fuse or socket, disconnect the stove and get
expert advice.
Disposal
At the end of its serviceable life, dispose of the appliance thoughtfully and safely and in accordance
with any national or local regulations. We suggest that you cut the mains cable from the stove to
prevent any future unsafe use of the appliance.
