Full Operating Checks; Recheck The Control Settings; Lighting The Burner; Operating The Burner - Valor Fires 953 Installer And Owner Manual

Open the isolating valve on the inlet 'T' connector.

14.1 Recheck the control settings.

The control position markings on the fascia are shown
in figure 28.
Please note:
When first turned on from cold, the flames will appear
predominantly blue.
When operating the fire for the first time, some
vapours may be given off which could set off smoke
alarms in the vicinity. These vapours are quite normal
with new appliances. They are totally harmless and will
disappear after a few hours use.

14.2 Lighting the burner.

1. Make sure the slider button is at the 'OFF' position
(At topmost position marked "O" on the fascia).
2. Slide the button to the bottom (ignition) position marked
position to ignite the pilot. The burner should ignite at its lowest setting within 4
seconds of the pilot igniting. Keep at this position for a further 10 seconds to allow the
pilot flame to stabilise.
3. Release the button. The button should automatically spring up to the low heat
position. If for any reason the slider control does not spring up, raise the slider to the
topmost (Off) position and investigate why the slider is not operating correctly. If the
flames go out at this stage or when checking the rest of the setting positions, try the
full lighting sequence again. If the flames fail after two attempts, investigate the pilot
unit.

14.3 Operating the burner.

1. Gradually slide the button up to increase the burner setting. The burner should be
at its maximum setting at the high heat position shown in figure 28. You should feel a
check to the button movement at this position.
2. Slide the control button up past the high heat position to the off ("O") position at the
top of the slide slot. Both pilot and main burner should go out.
While cooling the ceramic fuel effect pieces may make some crackling noises. This is
quite normal.
3. Check that the control linkage bar does not interfere with the appliance cable
retention nuts or wires.
