Check Operation; Adjust Aeration If Needed - Valor 1400IN Installation & Owner's Manual

Check Operation

Turn the fi replace fl ame up and down using the
remote control to confi rm that the full range of inputs
is achieved—see the remote control operation
instructions on pages 11–15.

Adjust Aeration if needed

Light the fi re and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the fl ame picture. The burner is
equipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary
aeration. The shutter is factory-set to an aeration gap
which will give optimum performance for the vast
majority of installations.
In a few unusual installations, the fl ame picture may
be improved by adjusting the aeration. The need for
adjustment should be determined only by operating the
appliance with the fuel bed and window installed.
Increasing aeration will cause the fl ames to appear
more transparent and blue showing more ceramic
effects glow.
Decreasing aeration will cause the fl ames to appear
more yellow or orange showing less ceramic effects glow.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon forming
on logs or roof panel and dropping into the fi rebox.
Air Shutter
The air shutter is located under the ceramic fuel bed
at the back. To access the air shutter, very carefully
remove the ceramic fuel bed.
1. Remove the screw fi xing the rear of the burner to
