Checking Pilot And Burner Flames - Valor 1000KP Homeowner's Manual

Checking pilot and burner flames

A periodic check of the pilot and burner fl ames
should be made. Check after the fi re has been on for
at least 30 minutes. The pilot fl ame must cover the tip
of the thermocouple probe. The main burner fl ame
pattern will vary from fi replace to fi replace depending
on the type of installation and climatic conditions.
Performance of propane gas fi replaces may be
aff ected by the quality of commercial gas supplied
in your area.
The fi replace area must always be kept clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
fl ammable vapors and liquids.
Inspect the vent terminal outdoors regularly to make
sure that snow, trees, bushes, leaves, or other objects
do not obstruct it. We recommend at least an annual
inspection.
Thermocouple
probe must be in
fl ame
Note
The height and color of your flames can vary
depending on fuel type, fuel quality and mixture,
altitude, and aeration adjustment at or after
installation.
