Getting started

First time operation

When operating your new stove for the first time,
some vapors may be released due to the burning of
curing compounds used during manufacturing. They
may cause a slight odor and could cause the flames
to be the full height of the firebox, or even slightly
higher, for the first few hours of operation.
It is also possible that these vapors could set off any
smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new stoves. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room.
After a few hours of use, the vapors will have
disappeared and the flames will be at their normal
height.
Valor automatic gas shut-off
For your safety, Valor appliance is fitted with a
flame supervision device which will shut-off the
gas supply if, for any reason, the pilot flame goes
out. This device incorporates a fixed probe, which
senses the heat from the pilot flame. If the probe
is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless
manually lighting the pilot. See the full Stove and
Lighting Information card attached to the stove or as
reproduced in Appendix A of the Installation Manual.

Locating stove and lighting information

The Stove and Lighting Information card is located
at the back, underneath the firebox. It is rolled and
inserted in a support—see image at the right.
To access it, look underneath the stove, locate it and
pull it out.
The card contains important information on both
sides. It must be left with the stove when you are
done.
WARNING
Do not attempt to access the card while
the stove is hot! Let the stove cool fi rst
before touching it!
