Servicing And Parts Replacement - Valor Black Beauty Slimline Installation And Owner's Manual

12. SERVICING AND PARTS REPLACEMENT

- Always turn off the gas supply before commencing any servicing (The appliance
inlet "T" connector incorporates an isolating valve) and ensure that the appliance
is allowed to cool completely.
- It is recommended that, at least once a year, the appliance is disconnected and the
catchment space behind the closure plate checked and cleared of any debris. The
closure plate must be resealed to the wall after checking.
- This product uses a fuel effect and gaskets containing Refractory Ceramic
Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive
exposure to these materials may cause irritation to eyes, skin and
respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important to take care when handling
these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To
ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a
minimum, during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a
HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and
around the fire before and after working on the fire. When replacing these
articles we recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are
sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as RCF waste.
RCF waste is classed as a stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and may be
disposed at a landfill licenced to accept such waste. Protective clothing is
not required when handling these articles, but we recommend the use of
suitable gloves to prevent irritation. We also recommend you follow the
normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and
always wash your hands before eating or drinking.
- This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos
or asbestos related products.
- Check that the appliance is clean and that soot or debris is not blocking the gaps
between the ceramic fuel effect pieces causing an imperfect flame.
- Check that soot or debris is not impairing the electrode spark or pilot burner.
- Check that soot or debris is not blocking any of the slots in the main burner.
- After servicing, make sure that the ceramic fuel effect is replaced correctly as
described in this guide.
- Always test for gas soundness and spillage after servicing the appliance.
