Servicing & Parts Replacement; Checking The Aeration Setting Of The Burner - Valor Homeflame Dream Installation And Owner's Manual

16. SERVICING & PARTS REPLACEMENT
Always turn off the gas supply before commencing any servicing and allow
-
to cool completely. (The appliance inlet 'T' connector incorporates an
isolating valve).
It is recommended that, at least once a year, the appliance is disconnected
-
and the fireplace opening checked and cleared of any debris.
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 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 licensed to accept such waste. Protective clothing is
not required when handling these articles, but we 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.
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 walls are replaced and the ceramic fuel
- effect pieces are replaced correctly as described in the installer and owner guide
supplied with the ceramic fuel effect. The ceramic fuel effect guide may have been
placed inside or attached to this guide.
Always test for gas soundness and spillage
-
after servicing the appliance.
