First time operation
When operating your new stove for the fi rst time,
some vapors may be released due to the burning of
curing compounds used during manufacturing. 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 stoves. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room.
After a few hours of 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, Valor appliance 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 the full Stove and
Lighting Information card attached to the stove or as
reproduced in Appendix A of the Installation Manual.
Locating stove and lighting information
The Stove and Lighting Information card is located
at the back, underneath the fi rebox. It is rolled and
inserted in a support—see image at the right.
To access it, look underneath the stove, locate it and
pull it out.
The card contains important information on both
sides. It must be left with the stove when you are
done.
