Operating Your Fire; The Oxysafe Flame Sensing And Flue Blockage Safety System; Lighting The Pilot - Valor 956 Installer And Owner Manual

When operating your fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which may
cause a slight odour and could possibly set off any smoke alarms in the immediate
vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new appliances. They are totally harmless
and will disappear after a few hours use.

The Oxysafe flame sensing and flue blockage safety system.

For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device which will
shut down the appliance in the event of abnormal flue conditions. This device is
NOT a substitute for an independently mounted Carbon Monoxide detector.
The device will also automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if the pilot flame
goes out due to lack of oxygen or for any other reason.
If this device starts to repeatedly shut off the gas, get expert advice.
This device incorporates a probe which senses that the heat from the pilot flame is
correct. If this probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless the control
knob is kept depressed at the 'PILOT / IGN' position.
If, for any reason, the flames go out when the fire is hot or if the fire is turned off
when hot, always wait at least three minutes before attempting to relight.

Lighting the pilot.

This fire is controlled by a 4-position gas tap mounted
on the front leg of the appliance (See figure 3). In
addition to the 'OFF' position there is a pilot light and 2
heat control settings.
Depress the control knob and turn SLOWLY
-
anticlockwise towards the 'PILOT / IGN' position. A
spark should be generated at the pilot while turning.
The spark should ignite the pilot. The pilot flame can be
seen through the lower left hand opening in the front of
the fuel effect bed.
Keep the button depressed at the 'PILOT / IGN'
-
position for a further ten seconds. This will prevent the
flame-sensing device from shutting off the gas while its
probe warms up.
If the pilot does not ignite instantly, repeat procedure. If after 10 seconds pilot
-
ignition has not occurred, turn the control knob back to the 'OFF' position, wait
for 3 minutes and then repeat the ignition procedure.
