Lighting The Pilot - Valor Fires 953 Installer And Owner Manual

Lighting the pilot.

The control markings are shown in figure 3.
Slide the control button to the bottom (ignition)
position marked
ignition system should cause a series of sparks that
should light the pilot. Within four seconds of the pilot
igniting, the main burner should light at its minimum
setting.
If no sparks are produced to light the pilot, the battery
may need replacing. Details of battery replacement are
given further on in this manual. Until you can obtain a
replacement battery the fire can be lit with a taper as
described later in this section.
Keep the button at the ignition position for a further ten seconds. This will prevent
the flame sensing device from shutting off the gas while its probe warms up as
explained above.
If low heat is required, release the button. The button will automatically spring up to
the low heat position shown in figure 3 (See note i). If for any reason the slider control
does not spring up, raise the slider to the off (O) position (Topmost position) and
contact your installer. Do not use the fire until the problem has been rectified.
For a higher heat level slide the button upwards. The burner flames and heat
output will gradually increase until the button reaches the high heat position shown in
figure 3. When the button reaches the high heat position you will feel a check to its
movement. Do not slide the button above the high heat position unless you want to
turn the fire off (See note i).
Note
i. If the flames go out while setting the control, repeat the full lighting procedure. If
the flames repeatedly go out have the fire serviced.
ii. When first turned on the flames will appear predominantly blue. The ceramic fuel
effect pieces will take time to warm up. Although some glow will be seen after
approximately ten minutes, the full visual effect will only be apparent after a
somewhat longer time.
iii. The appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the flue is primed during
the first 20 - 30 minutes of operation. To do this, simply slide the control to its
highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed
during previous operations.
iv. If operating the appliance for long periods it is beneficial to change between
settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form during
operation.
