Full Operating Checks - Valor Fires 963 Installer And Owner Manual

18.1 Recheck the control settings.
The control position markings on the fascia are shown in
figure 34.
Please note:
When first turned on from cold, the flames will appear
predominantly blue.
When operating the fire for the first time, some vapours
may be given off which could set off smoke alarms in the
vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new appliances.
They are totally harmless and will disappear after a few
hours use.
18.2 Lighting the burner.
1. Make sure the slider knob is at the 'OFF' position.
2. Slide the knob to the bottom (ignition) position marked
. Retain in this position to ignite the pilot. The burner
should ignite at its lowest setting within 4 seconds of the pilot igniting. Keep at this
position for a further 10 seconds to allow the pilot flame to stabilise.
3. Release the knob. The knob should automatically spring up to the low heat
position. If for any reason the slider control does not spring up, raise the slider to the
'OFF' position and investigate why the slider is not operating correctly. If the flames
go out at this stage or when checking the rest of the setting positions, try the full
lighting sequence again. If the flames fail after two attempts, investigate the pilot unit.
18.3 Operating the burner.
1. Gradually slide the knob up to increase the burner setting. The burner should be at
its maximum setting at the high heat position shown in figure 34. You should feel a
check to the knob movement at this position.
2. Slide the control knob up past the high heat position to the 'OFF' position at the top
of the slide slot. Both pilot and main burner should go out.
While cooling the ceramic fuel effect pieces may make some crackling noises. This is
quite normal.
