SYSTEM CHECK

Pressure test the supply line for leaks.
• The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of ½psig (3.5kPa).
• The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
½psig (3.5kPa).
• Failure to either disconnect or isolate the applianceduring pressure testing may result in regulator or valve
damage. Consult your dealer in this case.
The appliance is preset to give the correct input withnatural gas. For input adjustment, the gas supply pressure
to the appliance inlet must within the range shown insection 2 of this manual.
The burner manifold pressure is controlled by a built-in
non-adjustable regulator. The correct pressure range isshown in the table in section 2 of this manual. The
manifold pressure should be checked at the pressure test
point which is located on the thermostat unit (see figure10). The pressure check should be made with theappliance burning, the gas control set at “On” and thethermostat control set at “Full”. (Temporarily refit thecontrol knobs for checking.)
All piping and connections must be tested for leaks after
installation or servicing. All leaks must be corrected
immediately.
When testing for leaks:• Make sure that the appliance gas control knob is at the“Off” position.
• Open the manual shut-off valve.
• Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or soap
solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate a gas
leak. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
• Correct any leak detected immediately.

FINAL CHECK

Recheck gas control and thermostat operation.
Instruct the owner how to operate the appliance.
Advise that, if necessary, the window may be removed
when the appliance is shut off and cold to clean the insideor reset the logs if disturbed. Stress that the window must
be replaced securely before operating the appliance.
Recommend that the appliance is inspected and, if
necessary, serviced at least once a year.
Point out the location of the supply shut off valve and its
operation.
Close the control panel door.

18.

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 thepilot 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 foraccess to the controls. Close the door when you havefinished 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 bemaintained at the desired level for any setting up to justshort of the “Full” position. The “Full” position is anoverride which will keep the fire fully on all the time andis not affected by room temperature.
18.4 When first turned on, the decorative flames will appear
predominantly blue. After approximately 15 minutes theflames will turn yellow.
18.5 After approximately three hours use at the high control
setting the fuel pieces will show areas of charcoal graycolor, as would real burning logs.

CLEANING

Only clean when the appliance is cold.
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 theglass.
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 tothat shown in the fuel bed assembly instructions. Dust
etc. can also be removed from the burners using a softbrush 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 theburner tubes.
Always replace the ceramic bars, window and fascia after
any cleaning as shown in the installation section of these
instructions.
Coloring of the metal firebox is normal when used. Do
not try to remove the color with abrasive materials.

LIGHTING WITH A LONG MATCH
