The control is shown in Figure 1.
•
Depress the control knob and turn partially to the 1/IGN
position until you feel some resistance.
•
Keep the knob depressed at this position for a few seconds to
allow gas to flow to the burner.
•
While keeping the knob depressed, turn to the 1/IGN position.
While turning, a spark should light the pilot.
•
Keep the knob depressed at the 1/IGN position for a further
10 seconds then release it. The centre section of the coal will
be alight at this position.
•
Depress the control knob slightly and turn it to your desired
burner setting.
•
The control knob should be depressed slightly before turning
whenever you are changing the burner setting.
•
The burner settings are;
1/IGN...........Centre section on low. Outer sections off.
2....................Centre section fully on. Outer sections off.
3....................Centre section fully on. Outer sections on low.
4....................Centre section fully on. Outer sections fully on.
•
If the spark ignition fails, the fire can be lit manually by
inserting a lighted taper below the glass window and into the
centre of the coal (as shown in figure 2), and depressing the
control knob at the 1/IGN position.
•
We recommend that the fire is set at position 4 for the first 10
minutes after lighting to warm up the chimney and so obtain
full efficiency quickly.
Note:
If the fire goes out while setting the control, repeat the full
lighting procedure. If the fire repeatedly goes out, have the fire
serviced.

Wait at least 3 minutes after turning the fire off before relighting.
T
HE FLAME SENSING & SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
•
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a device which will automatically shut
off the gas supply to the fire if the pilot flame goes out. It will also shut off the gas
supply if the flue is blocked causing spillage of fumes, or if there is insufficient
ventilation to the fire.
•
This device incorporates a probe which senses that the heat from the pilot flame
is correct. If this probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless the
control knob is kept depressed at the 1/IGN position.
•
If the flames go out, or if for any reason the fire is turned off, always wait at least 3
minutes before attempting to relight.
•
If this device starts to shut off the gas frequently please get expert advice from the
Valor AdviceLine on 0345 626341 (local call rates apply in the United Kingdom).
