CLEANING
Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before attempting any cleaning. Note that the fire will retain heat for some time after
it has been turned off.
If large pieces of debris are found anywhere in the fireplace, have the chimney inspected before further use.
Metal parts
Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and then dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, they could scratch the surface.
Coals
This product uses fuel effect pieces and burner compartment walls containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are
man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this material may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and
respiratory tract. Consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is
kept to a minimum.
Light coatings of soot will usually be burnt off during the normal operation of the fire. Should any soot accumulation
become excessive, the fuel effect pieces and walls should be removed from the fire for cleaning. Cleaning should be carried
out in a well ventilated area or in the open air by gently brushing with the pieces held away from your face so that you
avoid inhaling the dust. We do not recommend the use of a normal domestic vacuum cleaner which may blow dust back
into the air. We suggest that you remove the coals in the reverse order to that shown in the fuel bed refitting instructions.
Ceramic burner
Remove any deposits of soot or other foreign matter from the solid areas of the burner with a dry soft brush. Be careful
not to brush any particles into the open slots. Remove any particles from the slots with a vacuum cleaner fitted with a soft
brush attachment. Do not poke wire, etc. into the slots in the burner.
FUEL BED REFITTING
If the fuel bed components are dislodged or removed, they must be refitted as follows:
Only the fuel bed parts supplied with this appliance or authorised Valor replacements must be used. Never add extra coals
above the number stated in these instructions.
Placement of the ceramic coal matrix.
Position the bottom rear face of the coal matrix resting on the angled ledge of
the coal matrix support plate located towards the back of the burner tray. The
bottom front edge of the coal base should locate behind the recess in the burner
plaques (See figure 2).
Fig. 2 – Placing Matrix
Place the ceramic front coals in position in front of
the coal matrix. Make sure that the side legs of the
front coals are fully seated into the burner tray. (See
figure 3).
