INSTALLER GUIDE
1. HANDLING AND UNPACKING
Before continuing any further with the installation of this firefront please read the
following:
Important instructions.
A carry handle is fitted to the top of the firefront. We recommend that this is used
when moving the firefront.
The approximate lifting weights (kg) of the firefront parts are listed below:
Model
Heat engine Fascia Firefront casting Spacer
Lyrica 8.0 1.5 3.54 1.0*
Nano 8.0 2.68 N/A 1.0*
*See section 3.
One person should be sufficient to lift the firefront. If for any reason this weight is
considered too heavy then obtain assistance.
When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.
Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
Avoid upper body / top heavy bending. Always bend from the knees rather than
the waist. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst handling the firefront.
Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
Always keep the firefront as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the
cantilever action.
Use gloves to provide additional grip.
Always use assistance if required.

INSTALLER GUIDE
2. SAFETY
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance
Always
Always install the firefront in accordance with this guide. If in doubt obtain
expert advice.
Always make sure the electrical socket is accessible and located adjacent to, but
not above or behind the firefront.
Always disconnect the firefront from the electrical supply before carrying out
cleaning or maintenance.
Always use a fireguard when young children and infirm persons can come into
contact with the firefront.
Always use genuine Valor Fires spares.
Never
Never leave children unsupervised in a room where the firefront is ON and
unguarded.
Never obstruct or cover the fan outlet or force items into firefront openings.
Never install or use the firefront anywhere where water or high humidity is in use,
i.e. Bathrooms, Kitchens, Shower Rooms and Swimming Pools etc (It is accepted
that the firefront will stand in front of a boiler).
Never use aerosols or steam cleaners on or around the firefront.
Never route the electric cable under carpet etc.
Never install the firefront close to curtains or combustible materials.
Never use the firefront to dry clothes etc.
Never sit or stand on the firefront.
Never use the firefront with a timer switch or similar device.
Important Electrical Safety
The firefront must not be located in front of or under an electrical socket; the socket
must always be accessible in order to disconnect the firefront from the electrical
supply for maintenance and cleaning.
CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut out,
this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a
timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

Important! This firefront must be earthed.
The firefront is supplied with a 3 pin 13 Amp fused re-wireable plug with 1mm²
3 core cable.
The wires in the cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:-
Live = Brown
Neutral = Blue
Earth = Green /Yellow
The electric supply must be safely routed from the firefront to an electrical socket.
If the electric cable is damaged, to avoid a hazard it must be replaced by a Valor
Fires authorised service agent, or similarly qualified person
. All external wiring
between the firefront and the electrical supply shall comply with current IEE
regulations. Extension leads should not be used.
Never connect the boiler and firefront to the same socket / spur. The fuse ratings
are different and subsequent damage may occur.
3. OPTIONAL KITS
Although the firefront is supplied with a 50mm deep spacer frame, an optional 50mm
deep spacer frame kit is obtainable either from your firefront supplier or direct from
Valor Fires Sales. The spacer kit is an addition to the spacer supplied with the
firefront. If you want the firefront to be fitted against a flat wall it will be necessary to
purchase two kits, they are designed to be secured together.

that you have completed the information on the last page of this guide. This
includes boiler information.
It is important to install the boiler before installing the firefront.
Please read this section thoroughly before positioning the firefront.
Fitting the cable clamp.
If the mains cable is to be routed to the left hand
side of the firefront there is a cable clamp
supplied with the firefront to hold the cable in
place. This prevents the cable being trapped
under the firefront during installation. Fit the cable
clamp as in figure 3.

screwdriver. This should have a number 2 size tip.
