Check Operation; Adjust Aeration (If Necessary) - Valor 785JLN Owner's Manual

Check Operation

Turn the fi replace fl ame up and down using the
remote control to confi rm that the full range of inputs
is achieved—see the remote control operation
instructions on pages 9–14.

Adjust Aeration (if necessary)

Light the fi re and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the fl ame picture. The burner
is equipped with an adjustable shutter to control
primary aeration. See the fi gures below. The shutter is
factory-set to an aeration gap which will give optimum
performance for the vast majority of installations.
Note: The image below shows
how the air shutter works.
Its position is for illustration

In a few unusual installations, the fl ame picture may
be improved by adjusting the aeration. The need for
adjustment should be determined only by operating the
appliance with the ceramic logs and window installed.
Increasing aeration (open) will cause the fl ames
to appear more transparent and blue showing more
ceramic effects glow.
Decreasing aeration (close) will cause the fl ames to
appear more yellow or orange showing less ceramic
effects glow.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon
forming and dropping into the fi rebox.
