Operating Procedure; General Operating Notes; Cleaning - Valor 737XN Installation And Owner's Manual

For full lighting instructions see next page.
The operating instructions are also on a chain at bottom of the appliance.

8.1. General operating notes

8.1.1 For your safety this appliance is fitted with a flame supervision device which will shut off the gas supply if, for any reason, the
pilot flames go 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 the gas control knob is kept pushed in at the pilot position.
8.1.2 Burner selection
The appliance has a burner selector control which allows you a choice of either both burners alight or only the rear burner.
8.1.3 The Valor Temperature Control System
A built-in modulating thermostatic control automatically adjusts flame height up or down to maintain room comfort. This
provides steady heat output rather than on/off heating like many thermostat systems commonly used. This results in superior
room comfort and better heater efficiency*.
*If, however, even when the flames are fully lowered the temperature cannot be reduced down to your chosen heat setting, the
system will shut the main burner off leaving the pilot only on until the temperature has dropped to an acceptable level. The
burner will then relight. If the room is left empty while the heater has shut down to pilot only alight, be aware that the flames will
relight if the temperature in the room drops sufficiently – keep combustible objects away from the fire
8.1.4 When first turned on, the decorative flames will appear predominantly blue. After approximately 15 minutes the flames will
turn yellow.
8.1.5 After approximately three hours use at a high control setting the fuel pieces will show areas of charcoal gray color as would real
burning logs.

8.2. Cleaning

8.2.1 Only clean when the appliance is cold
8.2.2 Normally, the appliance should only need dusting. Any stains on the ceramic glass window can be removed with a non-
abrasive cleaner. Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass
may then be difficult.
8.2.3 On first using the fire, a white deposit may form around the upper outlet grille. This can be cleaned off with a damp cloth and
soapy water. After the fire has been run on 'high' setting for a number of hours, the deposit will not reappear.
8.2.4 Dust, etc. can be brushed from the ceramic logs, base bricks and side walls after detaching the inner front unit and window. If
you are removing the ceramic parts, we suggest that they are removed in the reverse order to that shown in the fuel bed
assembly section of this manual (Section 7.8).
Dust etc. can also be removed from the burners using a soft brush after removing the logs. When cleaning the burners also check
the aeration holes (see fig.32) and brush clean if necessary. Make sure that no particles are brushed into the burner tubes.
8.2.5 Coloring of the interior of the metal fire box with use is normal. Do not try to remove the color with abrasive materials.
