Final Review - Valor Homeflame Dream Installation And Owner's Manual

INSTALLER GUIDE

15. FINAL REVIEW

1. COMPLETE THE INFORMATION IN THE WARRANTY AND SERVICE SECTION OF
THE OWNER GUIDE (See last pages of the OWNER guide).
2. Visually inspect the appliance. Clean off any marks incurred during installation.
3. Advise the customer how to operate the appliance. Point out that lighting instruction
details are on the metal plate attached at the bottom of the appliance. Explain to the
customer that the appliance has a flame failure & spillage monitoring system. Point out the
explanation of this system shown in the owner guide under "Operating the fire". Advise that
if the fire goes out for any reason, wait at least three minutes before relighting. Stress that
if the monitoring system repeatedly shuts off the fire, the appliance should be switched off
and a specialist should be consulted.
4. Advise the customer that they should read their owner guide before operating the fire
and always follow the advice in the section headed "Cleaning your fire".
5. Stress that no extra ceramic fuel effect pieces must be added over and above
those supplied with the appliance and that any replacements must only be the
authorised spares. Warn that ignoring this advice could cause incomplete clearance
of the products of combustion with consequent health hazards. If you have not
done so already; attach or place the ceramic fuel effect guide inside this guide.
6. Advise the customer that the appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the flue is
primed during the first 20 – 30 minutes of use. To do this, simply slide the control to its
highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed during
previous use.
7. Emphasise that if the window assembly is broken or damaged, the fire should be
turned off and not used until the window unit is refitted with an authorised
replacement. The fire should not be used without the window assembly fitted.
8. Advise the customer that when first turned on from cold, the flames will appear
predominantly blue and it is normal for condensation to form on the rear of the window
assembly. The condensation will disappear after a few minutes use.
9. If using the appliance for long periods it is beneficial to change between settings. This
will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form during use.
10. Recommend that the appliance should be serviced by a competent person at least
annually.
11. If the appliance is in premises in the United Kingdom occupied by a tenant, point out
that by law a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue and pipework which is situated in
a tenant's premises checked for safety at least every 12 months.
12. Advise that the fire may give off a slight odour while new. This is quite normal and it
will disappear after a short period of use.
13. Inform the customer that the Serial number for the appliance is located on the
information label, located behind the lower front casting and underneath the burner
module.
14. Hand the literature pack with this guide to the customer.
