Operation And Aeration Verification - Valor AutoFire G3 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" on page 37.
Adjust Aeration (if necessary)
Light the fi re and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the fl ame picture. Burners are
equipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary
aeration. See the fi gures below. The shutters are
factory-set to an aeration gap which will give optimum
performance for the vast majority of installations.
Depending of 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, liners and window installed and evaluating the
fl ame picture after a 15-minute warm-up.
Increasing aeration (opening air shutter) will cause the
fl ames to appear more transparent and blue showing
more ceramic eff ects glow.
Decreasing aeration (closing air shutter) 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 and dropping into the fi rebox.
