Owner's Information - Valor 530XAN/XAP Installation Instructions Manual

Operating Your Fireplace
For your safety, this appliance is fi tted with a fl ame supervision device which will
shut-off the gas supply if, for any reason, the pilot fl ame goes out. This device
incorporates a fi xed probe, which senses the heat from the pilot fl ame. If the probe
is cool, the device will prevent any gas fl ow unless the burner control knob is kept
pushed in at the PILOT position. See the lighting instructions on page 30 of this
manual.
Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During startup, condensation,
which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes dust and lint to cling
to the glass surface. Initially, paint, while curing, may deposit a slight fi lm on the
glass. We therefore recommend that, during the fi rst few weeks of use, the glass be
cleaned two or three times with non-abrasive common household cleaners (such as
dish soap) and warm water. Ammonia based cleaners should NOT be used.
Subsequently, the glass should be cleaned two or three times a season depending
on the circumstances. Do not clean the glass while it is hot. Always securely replace
the window before lighting. If broken, the glass pane may only be replaced as a
complete window unit as supplied by the manufacturer.
To remove the window for cleaning, release its top by pulling forward and rotating
outwards the two bars at the top corners. Unscrew the two spring-loaded bolts at
the bottom of the window. Lift the window and set it aside with the bolts to avoid
damage. See page 17.
To refi t the window, place it centrally against the fi rebox while resting it on the
support at the bottom of the fi rebox. Pull the clamping bars forward and rotate
inwards to secure the top of the window. Fit the two spring-loaded bolts through
the bottom of the window and tighten to secure. Pull the top of the window forward
and release to check that the window opens slightly and returns in the event of a
delayed ignition. Similarly, check the bottom of the window by pulling it forward and
releasing. Then, apply light hand pressure against the window frame sides to bed-in
the window seal. See page 26.
Dust can be brushed from the ceramic logs and fi rebox walls after removing the front
unit and opening the window. Dust can also be removed from the burner using a soft
brush after removing the ceramic logs. When cleaning, make sure that no particles
are brushed into the slots of the burner.
Checks
A periodic check of the pilot and burner fl ames should be made. Check after the
fi re has been on for at least 30 minutes. The pilot fl ame must cover the tip of the
thermocouple probe. The main burner fl ame pattern will vary from appliance to
appliance depending on the type of installation and
climatic conditions.
The appliance area must always
be kept clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline
and other fl ammable vapors and
liquids.
Inspect the vent terminal outdoors
regularly to make sure that dirt,
snow, insects, leaves, shrubs,
trees do not obstruct it.
Examine the whole vent system
regularly. We recommend
annually.
