Annual Service And Maintenance - Valor 1400MN Owner's Manual

Annual service and maintenance

We recommend having your fi replace serviced before initial use, and at least once per year by a qualifi ed service
technician. Contact your dealer quoting the model serial number, if possible. It will be helpful if the fi replace's
serial number can also be quoted. These numbers are on the information card— see page 7.
A list of replacement parts is included in your fi replace Installation Manual. When requesting spare parts please
quote the part number and description to ensure the correct part is ordered.
