Answer
If you have followed all instructions for your remote control or wall
switch—see pages 9–10, or pages 22-26—and your fi replace
still won't turn on, the batteries located inside the fi replace may be low
and need replacing. See page 11 for instructions on how to replace the
batteries.
If the fi replace still won't turn on after that, call your dealer for further
information. Your fi replace may require service by a qualifi ed service
technician. Visit valorfi replaces.com/contact
When fi rst lit, your fi replace will burn some paint and oil residues left over
from the manufacturing process. This is perfectly normal. See First time
operation on page 7 more information.
This is an indication that the batteries in your fi replace are getting critically
low (not the batteries in your remote control handset, but the batteries in
the battery holder under your fi replace). See Replacing batteries on page
11 for instructions on how to replace the batteries.
As your fi replace heats and cools with normal use, its metal parts will
expand and contract causing some noise. This is pefectly normal.
As you start or adjust your fi replace's fl ame, the control valve motor turns
to adjust the settings. This is perfectly normal.
Please see pages 13–16 for cleaning instructions to keep your
fi replace looking great.
No. The embers from the fuel bed are not fl ammable and will not impact
the operation of your fi replace. Vacuum them up when you clean your
fi replace.
This is normal, and will disappear naturally as the fi replace is turned on
and heats up.
