Checking Pilot And Burner Flames - Valor 1100MN Owner'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. We recommend at least an annual
inspection.
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.
