Answer
This is normal, your fl ame will take on a more yellow/orange appearance
as the fi replace heats up.
No. This is possibly caused by a blocked opening in the burner which
can be cleaned by vacuuming it. See pages 13-16 for cleaning
instructions, and call your dealer if the problem persists after cleaning.
Minor amount of soot developing on logs is common, but soot that builds
up, falls off , and accumulates indicates the burner needs adjustment,
or the logs may have been installed incorrectly. Contact your dealer for
remedies to excessive sooting.
Any of our Valor dealers are able to order parts or provide fi eld service.

We recommend having your fi replace serviced before initial use, and at
least once every year by a qualifi ed service technician. Contact our dealer,
quoting the model and serial numbers, if possible. These numbers can
be found on the fi replace information card attached to the fi replace - see
page 7.
Your fi replace has a built-in safety shutoff . If the fl ame height does not
adjust for 7 days, the fi replace will automatically turn the pilot off , and
would need to be turned on again using either the handset or wall switch.
Rather than constantly turning your fi replace up and down, the
temperature feature of your remote control is designed to effi ciently
give you a smooth maintenance of a comfortable temperature. With this
you may fi nd temperature fl uctuations beyond the set point to varying
degrees, depending on installation and room size.
