First time operation
When operating your new fi replace for the fi rst time,
some vapors may be released due to the burning of
curing compounds used in the manufacture of the
fi replace. They may cause a slight odor and could
cause the fl ames to be the full height of the fi rebox,
or even slightly higher, for the fi rst few hours of
operation.
It is also possible that these vapors could set o
ff any
smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new fi replaces.
We recommend opening a window to vent the
room. After a few hours use, the vapors will have
disappeared and the fl ames will be at their normal
height.
Valor automatic gas shut-o ff
For your safety, this fi replace is fi tted with a fl ame
supervision device which will shut-o ff the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot fl ame goes out. This device
incorporates a fi xed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot fl ame. If the probe is cool, the device
will prevent any gas fl ow unless manually lighting
the pilot. See full lighting instructions card attached
to the fi replace or reproduced in Appendix A of the
Installation manual.
Locating fi replace and lighting information
The Fireplace and Lighting Information card is located
on a card at the right hand side of the fi replace case.
To access the card, remove the barrier screen and
side door. Grab the card and pull it out. There is
important information on both sides of the card.
