Check Operation And Burner Aeration; Trim And Barrier Screen - Valor H6 Installation Manual

Installation
Check Operation
Turn the fi replace fl ame up and down using the remote
control to confi rm that the full range of inputs is
achieved—see Appendix B - Remote Control Operation
pages 71–77 in this manual.
Adjust Aeration (if needed)
Light the fi re and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the fl ame picture. The burner is
equipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary
aeration. The shutter is factory-set to an aeration gap
which will give optimum performance for the vast
majority of installations.
Depending of the fuel bed used, altitude and other
considerations, the fl ame picture may be improved by
adjusting the aeration. The need for adjustment should
be determined only by operating the appliance with the
fuel bed, panels and window installed and evaluating
the fl ame picture after a 15-minute warm-up.
The installer is responsible for verifying aeration
setting for ALL installations.
Increasing aeration (air shutter open) will cause the
fl ames to appear more transparent and blue showing
more ceramic eff ects glow.
Decreasing aeration (air shutter close) will cause the
fl ames to appear more yellow or orange showing less
ceramic eff ects glow.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon
forming on logs or roof panel and dropping into the
fi rebox. May also result in carbon or soot stains on
the vent termination and exterior wall around the
termination! The Manufacturer is not responsible for
for any damage caused by an air shutter setting with
too little aeration.
