1. HANDLING AND UNPACKING

Before continuing any further with the installation of this heater please read the

following:

Important instructions.

A carry handle is fitted to the top of the heater. We recommend that this is used

when moving the heater.

The approximate lifting weights (kg) of the heater parts are listed below: -

Model Heat engine Fascia Spacer

Nano 8.0 2.68 1.0*

* Although the heater is supplied with a spacer frame, an optional spacer frame kit is

obtainable either from your heater supplier or direct from Valor Fires Sales. The kit is a

71mm spacer kit (Kit number 0584081). This spacer when added to the one supplied

with the heater enables the heater to be flat wall fixed.

One person should be sufficient to lift the heater. 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 heater.

Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.

Always keep the heater as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the

cantilever action.

Use gloves to provide additional grip.

Always use assistance if required.

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.

cleaning, maintenance or replacing the lamp.

Important Electrical Safety

must always be accessible in order to disconnect the heater from the electrical supply

for maintenance and cleaning.

Important! This heater must be earthed.

The heater 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 heater 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

4. FITTING THE HEATER

Before continuing any further with the installion of the heater please fill in the

details on the last page of this guide.

Important: Before continuing with the installation of this heater please ensure

that you have completed the information on the last page of this guide.

Please read this section thoroughly before positioning the heater.

Do I need any tools?

Depending upon the chosen method of installation you may need the following tools: -

For Spacer frame or screw fixed installations you will need A Pozidrive / Phillips /

cross head screwdriver. This should have a number 2 size tip.

If wire fixing and drilling into brickwork you will need a power drill (preferably with

hammer action) and appropriate size drill bit for the wall plugs supplied.

Where and how can you fit the heater?

Q Can the heater be installed into a ‘hole in the wall’ (elevated opening)?

A The heater is suitable for ‘hole in the wall’ installations; these being installations

where the heater is recessed into a builders opening. This is not referring to the

heater being hung on the wall. It is important that the electrical socket is

accessible and located adjacent to, but not above or behind the heater.

The Nano fascia has been designed for traditional installations where the base of

the fascia sits on a hearth or similar surface. For this reason we recommend that a

plinth be fitted under the heater.

Q Do you want to fit the heater into a surround or fireplace opening without

the spacer frame?

A The minimum rebate / depth required is 145mm.

Q What opening size do you need in the surround or fireplace opening?

A This heater can be fitted into fireplaces or surrounds where the following

dimensions are available.

Width 395mm - 450 mm

Height 555mm - 590 mm

Depth At least 145mm

Q Do you want to fit the heater into a surround using the spacer frame

supplied with the heater?

A The minimum rebate required is 71mm.

INSTALLER AND OWNER GUIDE

Q Do you want to fit the heater against a flat wall with the base of the heater on

a hearth or similar surface?

A You will need to purchase the optional spacer frame kit (kit number 0584081). This

spacer when added to the one supplied with the heater enables the heater to be

flat wall fixed. The depth of the combined spacer frames is 145mm.

Q Do you want to wall mount the heater against a flat wall?

A You will need to purchase the Optional spacer frame kit (kit number 0584081)

and an Elevated installation kit (kit number 0584091). The optional spacer when

added to the one supplied with the heater covers the full depth of the heater rear

(145mm).

General notes to read before fitting

your heater.

There should be at least 50mm clearance between

the top of the fascia and anything such as a shelf,

fireplace surround or mantel etc. This will allow the

fascia to be lifted off or removed during servicing.

To check the shelf clearance gently place the

fascia against the surface to which it is to be fixed

and measure the distance from the top of the

fascia.

If fitting the heater onto a reflective or shiny

surface such as a hearth we recommend that

this surface does not extend further than 300mm

from the fixing plane (wall). Reflective or shiny

surfaces that project further than 300mm may

reflect an image of the internal lamp.

Fitting the cable clamp.

If the mains cable is to be routed to the left hand

side of the heater there is a cable clamp supplied

with the heater to hold the cable in place. This

prevents the cable being trapped under the

heater during installation. Fit the cable clamp as

in figure 1.

Checking the lamp.

When handling the lamp avoid touching the glass

with bare fingers as this will reduce the life of the

lamp.

Before continuing with the installation of the

Figure 2. Checking the lamp

Figure 1. Fitting the cable clamp

heater it is important to check that the lamp

has not become loose in transit. The lamp is

located into a cradle on the rear of the access

panel. Open the access panel by unscrewing

the locking screw in an anticlockwise

direction. Ensure that the lamp is located

firmly in the lamp holder (See figure 2).

It is important that the lamp is horizontal and

not angled in any way (See figure 3). When

closing the access panel be careful not to trap

wiring between the access panel and heater

body. Screw the locking screw in a clockwise

direction to secure the access panel.
