To Light The Fire - Valor C1 Owner's Manual

To light the fire

The slide control is shown in figure 2.
1. Slide the control button to the bottom (ignition) position marked
In this position, the electronic ignition system should cause a series of sparks which
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 the instructions.
2. 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.
3. If low heat is required, release the button. The button will automatically spring up to
the low heat position shown in figure 2 (See note i below).
4. 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 2.
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 below).
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) Please note. When first turned on the
flames will appear predominantly blue.
The coals 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 button to its highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits
that may have formed during previous operations.
