Getting started
First time operation
When operating your new fireplace for the first time,
some vapors may be released due to the burning of
curing compounds used during manufacturing. They
may cause a slight odor and could cause the flames
to be the full height of the firebox, or even slightly
higher, for the first few hours of operation.
It is also possible that these vapors could set off any
smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new fireplaces.
We recommend opening a window to vent the
room. After a few hours of use, the vapors will have
disappeared and the flames will be at their normal
height.
Valor automatic gas shut-off
For your safety, Valor fireplaces are fitted with a
flame supervision device which will shut-off the gas
supply if, for any reason, the pilot flame goes out.
This device incorporates a fixed probe, which senses
the heat from the pilot flame. If the probe is cool,
the device will prevent any gas flow unless manually
lighting the pilot. See the full Fireplace and Lighting
Information card attached to the fireplace or as
reproduced in Appendix A of the Installation Manual.
Locating fi replace and lighting information
The Fireplace and Lighting Information is located on a
card, behind the removable panel, at the right below
the window.
To access the card, remove the barrier screen,
both side doors and bottom removable panel. See
diagrams at right.
The card contains important information on both
sides of the card. It must be left with the fireplace
when you are done.
WARNING
Do not attempt to access the card while
the fi replace is hot! Let the fi replace cool
fi rst before touching it!
