To Turn The Fire Off; Lighting With A Taper - Valor 961 Installation And Owner's Manual

the 'Maintenance' section of this guide.
Until you can obtain a replacement battery the fire can be lit with a taper as described
later in this guide.
2. Keep the button at the ignition position for a further ten seconds. This will prevent
the flame-sensing device from shutting off the gas while its probe warms up as
explained above.
3. If low heat is required, release the button. The button will automatically spring up to
the low heat position shown in figure 2 (See note i below).
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 2. 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.

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 ash pan casting then insert a taper
or spill as shown in figure 3. Operate the
slide control as described previously.
