The Reflective Sides And Top Inside The Fire; Cleaning Your Fire; Metal Parts; Window Cleaning And Removal - Valor Fires 963 Installer And Owner Manual

The reflective sides and top inside the fire.

To improve the appearance of the flames the fire uses reflective surfaces around the
fuel effect. These surfaces become very hot and will discolour. The top of the fire
above the fuel effect will become quite dark. This is normal and no cause for concern.
To maintain the high performance and quality finish of your Valor Fires appliance,
please follow these guidelines:
Before attempting to clean the fire, please remember to turn off the fire and wait for
the appliance to cool completely. The fire will retain heat for some time before
cleaning can begin.
If any pieces of debris are found in the firebox, have the chimney inspected before
further use.

Metal Parts.

Please be aware that the top and sides that are close to the fuel effect will discolour
or darken. This is normal and no need for concern. This discolouration will not clean
away.
Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp, lint free non-abrasive cloth and then dry.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as these will scratch the fire surface.

Window cleaning and removal.

To clean the front of the window.

The front of the window can be cleaned using a slightly damp, lint free non-abrasive
cloth and then dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as these may scratch the glass
surface.

To clean the inside of the window.

Before the window can be
detached, the firefront casting will
have to be removed. Remove the
lower front cover section of the
casting.
On Dream models, lift the firefront
casting clear of the fire. On Petrus
models, lift the fire front casting up
and forward to release the locating
screw heads at the back of the
casting from the brackets in the
fascia.
Unscrew and remove the two
thumbscrews from the lower corners
of the window.
