Checking Pilot And Burner Flames - Valor 1700KP Homeowner's Manual

Checking pilot and burner flames

The pilot light and burner fl ames should be checked
periodically. Check after the fi re has been on for at
least 30 minutes. The pilot fl ame must cover the tip
of the thermocouple probe. The main burner fl ame
pattern will vary depending on the type of installation
and climatic conditions.
Performance of propane gas fi replaces may be
aff ected by the quality of commercial gas supplied
in your area.
The fi replace area must always be kept clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
fl ammable vapors and liquids.
Inspect the vent terminal outdoors regularly to
ensure that it is not obstructed by snow, trees,
bushes, leaves, or other objects. We recommend at
least an annual inspection.
