Owner’s Information
Please read the
safety information
on page 4 of this
manual.
Operating Your
Fire
The operating instructions are also on a chained plate
inside the control access door.
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.
The Valor Remote Control System
Your Valor Remote Control helps you get the comfort,
convenience and aesthetics you want from your Valor
Gas Fireplace.
Setting the Flame
1. Press either of the large “up” or “down” buttons.
2. To raise the flame, press and hold the “up” button
until you come to the flame level you want. Let go.
3. To lower the flame, press and hold the down button
until you come to the flame you want. Let go.
4. The flame level will remain just as you set it.
When first turned on, the decorative flames will appear
predominantly blue. After approximately 15 minutes,
the flames will turn yellow.
Cleaning
Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before attempting
any cleaning. Note that the fire will retain heat for some
time after it has been turned off.
Metal parts
Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and
then dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, they could
scratch the surface.
Coals and ceramic firebox walls
Dust etc. can be brushed from the coals using a soft
bristle paintbrush after removing the safety guard. We
suggest that you remove the coals in the reverse order
to that shown in fitting instructions. Make sure that no
particles are brushed into the ceramic burner slots.
Thermocouple
probe must be
in flame
Checks
A periodic check of the pilot and burner flames should
be made. Check after the fire has been on for at least
30 minutes. The pilot flame must cover the tip of the
thermocouple probe. The main burner flame pattern
will vary from appliance to appliance depending on the
type of installation and climatic conditions—see figures
below.
The appliance area must always be kept clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Inspect the vent terminal outdoors regularly to make
sure there are no obstructions from birds nests, insects
or rodents, trees, bushes, etc.
Examine the whole vent system regularly. We
recommend annually.
Servicing
All appliances use four 1.5V AA alkaline batteries for
thermostat control.
The batteries used in the remote control receiver are
accessible by opening the bottom access panel and
removing the lid of the remote control receiver. The
handset has a 9V alkaline battery.
General servicing
If you require any attention to your appliance, contact
your supplier quoting the model number. It will be
helpful if the appliance serial number can also be
quoted. This is on the rating plate, which is on a
chained, plate accessible by opening the bottom
access panel.
Performance of LPG appliances may be
affected by the quality of commercial gas
supplied in your area.
