OPERATING THE HEATER
For full lighting instructions see page 17.
The operating instructions are also inside the control panel door.
18.1
For your safety this appliance is fitted with a flame
supervision device which will shut off the gas supply if,
for any reason, the pilot flames go 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 gas control knob is kept pushed in
between the “Off” and “Ign” positions. See full lighting
instructions on next page.
18.2
Open the control panel door at right side of the heater for
access to the controls. Close the door when you have
finished operation the controls.
18.3
The Valor Temperature control system
Conventional thermostats regulate the temperature by
shutting the burners off when the temperature reaches its
upper limit. This gives stop-go heat, unnaturally varying
flames and impaired efficiency (like a car in city traffic).
The
Valor
system controls the temperature by gradually
lowering or raising the fire. This maintains room comfort
by providing steadier heat and a more natural looking
regulation of the flames. The room temperature will be
maintained at the desired level for any setting up to just
short of the “Full” position. The “Full” position is an
override which will keep the fire fully on all the time and
is not affected by room temperature.
18.4
When first turned on, the decorative flames will appear
predominantly blue. After approximately 15 minutes the
flames will turn yellow.
18.5
After approximately three hours use at the high control
setting the fuel pieces will show areas of charcoal gray
color, as would real burning logs.

CLEANING
20.1
Only clean when the appliance is cold.
20.2
Normally, the appliance should only need dusting. Any
stains on the ceramic glass window can be removed with a
non-abrasive cleaner. Never use abrasive cleaners on the
glass.
20.3
Dust, etc. can be brushed from the logs after detaching
the front fascia and window. If you are removing the logs,
we suggest that they are removed in the reverse order to
that shown in the fuel bed assembly instructions.
Dust
etc. can also be removed from the burners using a soft
brush after removing the logs. When cleaning the burners
also check the aeration holes (see fig.17) and brush clean if
necessary. Make sure that no particles are brushed into the
burner tubes.
20.4
Always replace the ceramic bars, window and fascia after
any cleaning as shown in the installation section of these
instructions.
20.5
Coloring of the metal firebox is normal when used. Do
not try to remove the color with abrasive materials.
