To Turn The Fire Off; Lighting With A Taper - Homeflame Dream And Petrus Models - Valor Homeflame Dream Installation And Owner's Manual

3. If low heat is required, release the button. The button will automatically spring up to
the low heat position shown in figure 4 (See note i below). If for any reason the slider
control does not spring up, raise the slider to the off (O) position (Topmost position)
and contact your installer. Do not use the fire until the problem has been rectified.
4. For a higher heat level slide the button upwards. The burner flames and heat
output will gradually increase until the button reaches the high heat position shown in
figure 4. When the button reaches the high heat position you will feel a check to its
movement. Do not slide the button above the high heat position unless you want
to turn the fire off (See note i below).
Note i) If the flames go out while setting the control, repeat the full lighting
procedure. If the flames repeatedly go out have the fire serviced.
ii) Please note. When first turned on the flames will appear predominantly
blue. The ceramic fuel effect pieces will take time to warm up. Although
some glow will be seen after approximately ten minutes, the full visual
effect will only be apparent after a somewhat longer time.
iii) The appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the flue is primed
during the first 20 – 30 minutes of operation. To do this, simply slide the
control button to its highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon
deposits that may have formed during previous operations.
iv) If operating the appliance for long periods it is beneficial occasionally to
change the settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that
may form during operation.

To turn the fire off.

1. Slide the button up past the high heat position to the "O" position. Both the main
burner and the pilot should go out. While cooling, the ceramic fuel effect pieces may
make some crackling noises. This is quite normal.
Lighting with a taper - Dream, Masquerade, Excelsior, Classica and Petrus
models.
Important: When lighting with a match
or taper be very careful not to place
naked flames by the plastic / rubber
coated leads.
In the unlikely event of failure of the
ignition spark, the pilot can be lit by a
taper or long spill. To do this, remove the
lower front casting and firefront casting
then insert a taper or spill as shown in
figure 5. Operate the slide control as
described previously.
