Thank you for choosing this Valor gas fire. It has been designed to give years of trouble-free service. To maintain its optimum
performance, advantage should be taken of the regular servicing and inspection facilities available for gas appliances. Annual
servicing is recommended. These instructions are provided to help you in operating and looking after your new fire and should be
kept in a safe place together with the installation and servicing instructions for future reference.
PLEASE OBSERVE THE CAUTION STATEMENTS ON PAGE 1
1. GENERAL SPECIFICATION
The fire has a maximum gas input of 4.9kW.
The overall dimensions are shown in Figure 1.
2. OPERATION
2.1 The pilot may be left alight. It is advisable, however, that the pilot is turned
off if the premises are to be left unoccupied for a lengthy period.
2.2 For your safety the fire is fitted with a Flame Supervision Device which will
shut off the gas supply if for any reason the pilot goes out. This device incorporates a
fixed probe which senses the heat from the pilot flame. If the probe is cool the device
will prevent any gas flow unless the control knob is held down. (see the following
lighting instructions).
2.3 To light the pilot
Warning: If the pilot flame is extinguished either intentionally or unintentionally, do not
attempt to relight the gas until at least 3 minutes have elapsed.
2.3.1 Depress the control knob. While keeping it depressed, turn to IGN position.
Turning the control should normally cause two consecutive sparks to occur
which should ignite the pilot gas. A click should be heard while turning each
time a spark is generated. The pilot flame can be seen by looking through the
gap at the front of the right side front coal - see figure 3.
2.3.2 When the pilot is alight, keep the control knob depressed for a few
seconds to prevent the flame supervision device from shutting off the gas
supply while its probe warms up, as explained above, then release it. If the
pilot does not remain alight turn the knob back to OFF, wait a few seconds
and repeat the lighting sequence.
2.4 To select burner setting.
When the pilot is alight, partially depress the knob and turn to position 1.
Both main and decorative flame burners should light at their lowest setting.
The decorative flames should just be visible.
