Checking Pilot And Burner Flames - Valor PORTRAIT 530IN Homeowner's Manual

Checking pilot and burner flames

The pilot light and burner flames should be checked
periodically. Check after the fire has been on for at least
30 minutes. The pilot flame must cover the tip of the
thermocouple probe. The main burner flame pattern will
vary depending on the type of installation and climatic
conditions.
Performance of propane gas fireplaces may be affected by
the quality of commercial gas supplied
in your area.
The fireplace area must always be kept clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
Inspect the vent terminal outdoors regularly to ensure that
it is not obstructed by snow, trees, bushes, leaves, or other
objects.
Inpect the vent system regularly. We recommend at least
once a year.
Thermocouple
probe must be
in flame
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.
The photos of typical flame appearance are for
illustrative purposes only. Your fireplace may be
operating normally but may appear slightly different
than the photos.
Venting configuration, elevation, burner aeration
setting and local fuel heating value can all affect flame
appearance.
