Check Operation And Aeration - Valor G3.5 Installation Manual

Installation
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 Use starting on page
30.
Adjust Aeration (if necessary)
Light the fi re and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the fl ame picture. Burners are
equipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary
aeration. See the fi gures below. The shutters are
factory-set to an aeration gap which will give optimum
performance for the vast majority of installations.
Depending of fuel bed used, altitude and other
considerations, 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, liners and window installed and evaluating the
fl ame picture after a 15-minute warm-up.
Increasing aeration (open) will cause the fl ames to
appear more transparent and blue showing more
ceramic eff ects glow.
Decreasing aeration (close) will cause the fl ames to
appear more yellow or orange showing less ceramic
eff ects glow.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon forming
and dropping into the fi rebox.
Air Shutter
To access the air shutter, very carefully remove the
ceramic burner. The air shutter is located under the
burner at the back as shown.
1. Remove the screw fi xing the rear of the burner to the
manifold bracket as indicated.
2. Grab the burner and gently pull up the rear fi rst while
pushing back and unhooking the front tabs from their
retaining lances. Be careful not to hook the pilot
hood as you pull the burner up.
