SAFETY
A fireguard conforming to BS 8423: 2002 should
be used in the presence of children and old/or
infirm people. If the appliance is used with the fire
door open, a spark guard conforming to BS 3248
should be fitted.
Do not use aerosol sprays or any other flame
near the appliance under fire.
Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as
the appliance.
Fire cement is caustic, hand and eye protection
should always be worn, prolonged contact with
the skin should be avoided.
Valor will not be responsible for any
consequential or incidental loss or injury
however caused.
Before continuing any further with the installation
of this appliance please read the following guide to
manual handling.
•Always obtain assistance when lifting the
appliance.
•When lifting always keep your back
straight. Bend your legs not your back.
•Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to
reposition your feet.
•Avoid upper body/top heavy bending. Do not
lean forwards or sideways when
handling the fire.
•Always grip with the palms of your hands.
Do not use fingertips for support.
•Always keep the stove as close to the body as
possible. This will minimise the cantilever
action.
•Use gloves to provide additional grip.
THE PRINCIPLE OF THE FIRE
Your Willow Multifuel Stove is built to the highest
standard of craftsmanship using the best materials
and the most modern equipment available.
It is a highly efficient and sophisticated piece of
machinery and when properly installed and
operated it should provide a lifetime of heating
satisfaction.
Safety is the most important consideration when
installing your fire. If not properly installed and
operated a house fire may result. Installation must
comply with the Building Regulations and conform
to all relevant fire safety standards.
Valor produce a variety of appliances ranging from
the traditional to the modern in style and
appearance, all bristling with "High Tech" features.
The fire doors are fitted with special high
temperature ceramic glass panels through which
the fire can be viewed.
The stove is lined with firebricks or heat reflective
panels which ensure complete combustion and
provide a good heat store to even out fluctuations in
burning.
An internal throat plate produces turbulence to
encourage secondary combustion and directs the
flue gas around the whole upper firebox before
allowing it to escape up the chimney.
Valor multifuel stoves are also fitted with an "air
wash" so called because it provides a curtain of
high speed preheated air behind the glass to help
keep it clean and to provide secondary air/over
draught.
The provision of two inlets on all multifuel stoves
gives a wide range of primary air/secondary air,
under draught/over draught combinations.
The optimum settings will only be established by
experience in firing the appliance, and will depend
on type of fuel, the position of the appliance in the
house, condition of chimney etc.

INSTALLATION
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Note - All installations must conform to the
appropriate building regulations.
The Building Regulations for England and Wales
2000 ref Approved Document J 2002 edition
(issued by the DTLR).
The Building Standards (Scotland) (Consolidation)
Regulations.
Detailed recommendations for installation of
appliances, chimneys and flues are outlined in the
current issue of the following British Standards:BS6461, BS8303 and BS4543.
Any Manufacturer's Instructions must not be
taken as overriding statutory requirements.
During installation ensure that adequate
precautions are taken to avoid unnecessary risk to
yourself or any householder. In particular the
danger from the caustic nature of the fire cement
should be avoided by using these accepted
methods:
•Wear gloves when handling fire cement.
•Wear goggles when chiselling or looking up
chimneys.
Make sure that Building Regulations are adhered to
during installation along with any local by-laws.
In the case of heating systems make sure that the
pipe work is correctly bonded to ensure electrical
earthing.
HANDLING
By the time you read this you will appreciate the
weight of the appliance. The Safety and handling
guidelines as set out on page 4 of this manual
should be followed.
To make movement easier internal fittings, grates,
firebox liners, flue outlets, hot plate, throat plate,
etc., can be removed.
Care should be taken to make sure that the hinges
are not damaged during installation.
HEARTH
The fire should be installed to stand on a
constructional hearth of non-combustible materials
not less than 125mm (5'') thick conforming to
Building Regulations. Dimensions of the hearth
should project at least 300mm (12'') forward of the
front of the appliance and 150mm (6'') at the sides.
The surface of the hearth should be free of
combustible materials. In most buildings with solid
concrete floors the requirement will be met by the
floor itself, but mark the perimeter of the hearth to
ensure floor coverings are kept well away or use
different levels to mark the hearth perimeter.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
A gap of at least 450mm (18'') should be allowed
between the appliance and any combustible
materials including furnishings. Adjacent walls
should be of suitable non-combustible
construction, preferably brickwork. In large
fireplaces take care that any supporting beam is
protected by a 13mm (0.5'') sheet of
Masterboard/Supalux spaced 13mm (0.5'') off the
surface with strips of non-combustible material
- not wood.
Make sure that there is a gap between an
uninsulated flue system and any combustible
material. This gap must be at least 3 x the outside
diameter of the flue pipe, or 1.5 x the flue diameter
to non combustible surfaces. see illustration p12.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION
There must always be a permanent means of
providing air for combustion into the room in
which the fire is installed. A permanent vent with a
total free area of at least 550mm
2
for every kW
rated output above 5kw should be connected
directly to the outside air or to an adjacent room
which itself has a permanent vent of the same size
direct to the outside air. The fitting of an extractor
fan to either of these rooms is not recommended.
