To Turn The Fire Off; Lighting With A Taper - Valor 940 Installer And Owner Manual

Until you can obtain a replacement battery the fire can be lit with a taper as described
later in this guide.
2. Keep the control knob 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 control knob. The control knob will automatically
spring up to the low heat position shown in figure 4 (See note i below). 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.
4. For a higher heat level slide the control knob upwards. The burner flames and heat
output will gradually increase until the control knob reaches the high heat position
shown in figure 4. When the control knob reaches the high heat position you will feel
a check to its movement. Do not slide the control knob 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 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 knob 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 occasionally to
change the settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that
may form during operation.

To turn the fire off.

1. Slide the control knob up past the high heat
position to the "O" position. Both the main burner
and the pilot should go out. While cooling, the
ceramic fuel effect pieces may make some
crackling noises. This is quite normal.

Lighting with a taper.

(See figure 5).
In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition spark,
the pilot can be lit by a taper or long spill. Insert
the taper or spill between the second and third left
hand ceramic fuel effect pieces on the first row.
Operate the slide control as described above.
