OWNERS INFORMATION
Please read the safety information and notes on page 3.
18.1.
Operating Your Fire
The operating instructions are also on a chained plate inside the control access door.
1.
For your safety this appliance is fitted with a flame supervision device which will shut off the gas supply if, for any
reason, the pilot flames go out. This device incorporates a fixed probe, which senses the heat from the pilot flame. If the
probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless the burner control knob is kept pushed in at the PILOT position.
See full lighting instructions on next page.
2. The Valorstat Programmable Remote Control
Your Valor Remote Control helps you get the comfort, convenience and aesthetics you want from your Valor Gas Fireplace.
The first thing to do is to set the time:
a.
With your left thumb, hold down
both
the “AUTO” and the “TIMER” button until the temperature symbol flashes.
Let go.
b.
Note the digital clock on the bottom right hand corner. The large “up” button (
σ
) sets the hour; the “down” (
τ
)
button sets the minutes. Set the time. Note: you must start setting the time while the temperature symbol is flashing.
If it stops flashing, go back to 1.
c.
Let go and wait until the flashing stops. The remote tells you the time you set. It also tells you the current
temperature.
The “remote” controls your fireplace in three different ways.
Setting the Temperature
Use this setting when you come in and want to enjoy a certain temperature.
Here’s what you do:
a.
Push the “AUTO” button until the temperature reading flashes. Let go.
b.
While it is still flashing, push the up and down button to the temperature you want. Let it go.
c.
Your Valor will reach that temperature and the remote will check the temperature every five minutes, adjusting the
amount of fuel needed to give you a steady, even heat.
Note: be patient with settings as it can take a few seconds.
Setting the Flame
Use this setting when you want a particular flame level. For instance, you want to watch flames burn at their highest level,
and you don’t mind if the room is too hot.
Here’s what you do:
a.
Press either of the large “up” or “down” buttons.
b.
The word “man” displays as well as an arrow in the left upper corner. Let go.
c.
To raise the flame, press and hold the “up” button until you come to the flame level you want. Let go.
d.
To lower the flame, press and hold the down button until you come to the flame you want. Let go.
e.
The
flame level
will remain just as you set it.
Programming Time and Temperature
You can set your Valor to come on before you waken and turn after you leave home and turn on again just before you come
home and turn off after going to bed. You can leave it like this for the heating season.
Here’s what you do:
a.
Decide what temperature you want your Valor to be at; also decide what time you want your Valor to turn on and
off; then decide what time you want it to come back on and off in the afternoon or evening. For the first few times
you set the timer, it’s handy to write these times down.
b.
Set the temperature (just as you did in the section on “setting the temperature.”
c.
Press the “timer” button and hold until “P1*” appears and flashes. Let go. While flashing, push the “up” button to
the hour you want your Valor to turn on in the morning and the “down” to the minute.
d.
Press “timer” to P1 (moon) and proceed as in step 3, to turn off time.
e.
Press “timer” again, and you get “P2*” to set the time to come back on in the afternoon. Set the time.
f.
Press “timer” again to get P2 (moon) to set the time for your Valor to go off in the evening.
g.
Do nothing else, and your Valor will give you steady, even heat at the temperatures and times you set.
h.
Note: If you want to set your Valor for only 1 time on and off, set P2 for the same times as P1.
i.
To temporarily override the timer setting, just press “auto” or “manual”. Press “timer” when you want to go back to
your settings.
3.
When first turned on, the decorative flames will appear predominantly blue. After approximately 15 minutes the flames
will turn yellow.
