11. SYSTEM CHECK
11.1 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 shut-
off 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 appliance
during pressure testing may result in regulator or valve
damage. Consult your dealer in this case.
11.2 The appliance is preset to give the correct input with
natural gas. For input adjustment, the gas supply pressure
to the appliance inlet must within the range shown in
section 2 of this manual.
11.3 The burner manifold pressure is controlled by a built-in
non-adjustable regulator. The correct pressure range is
shown 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 figure
10). The pressure check should be made with the
appliance burning, the gas control set at “On” and the
thermostat control set at “Full”. (Temporarily refit the
control knobs for checking.)
11.4 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.

14. AERATION ADJUSTMENT
These appliances are equipped with adjustable shutters on both
front and rear burner tubes to control primary aeration.
The air holes are at the right side of the tubes -See fig 17. The
shutters can slide to the right to reduce the air supply or to the left
to increase it.
Your appliance is supplied with the shutters set to suit the vast
majority of installations. No adjustment should usually be
necessary. However, in certain installations (e.g. Low Btu value
gas, high altitude) it may be necessary to adjust the shutter
position of one or both of the burners to obtain the optimal visual
effect.

16. VENTING CHECK
A check for correct venting of combustion products must be made
before the installed appliance is left with the customer.
16. 1 Ignite the pilot. Set the main control valve at “MAX” and
the thermostat wheel at “HI”.
16.2 Leave for 15 minutes.
16.3 Find the draft hood opening at the rear of the appliance
near the top.
16.4 Light a long match. Insert the match into the draft hood
opening near the left side (viewed from the front) to a
depth of 2” -See figure 20. The installation is satisfactory
if the smoke does not escape from the opening.
16.5 If smoke spills out of the opening inspect the sealing at the
vent connection.
16.6 If the sealing is satisfactory but the smoke still spills out,
turn the appliance off and check the vent system
thoroughly for cause of lack of pull. If necessary get expert
advice. Do not let the appliance be operated without
correct venting.
17. FINAL CHECK
17.1 Recheck gas control and thermostat operation.
17.2 Instruct the owner how to operate the appliance.
17.3 Advise that, if necessary, the window may be removed
when the appliance is shut off and cold to clean the inside
or reset the logs if disturbed. Stress that the window must
be replaced securely before operating the appliance.
17.4 Recommend that the appliance is inspected and, if
necessary, serviced at least once a year.
17.5 Point out the location of the supply shut off valve and its

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 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.
19. LIGHTING WITH A LONG MATCH
In the unlikely event of failure to create an ignition spark using
the control knob, the stove can be lit as follows:
19.1 Lift off the front fascia
19.2 Remove the window unit
19.3 Open the control panel door.
19.4 Insert a long burning match at the pilot.
19.5 Operate the controls as described in the lighting
instructions.
19.6 Make sure that the pilot flame is stable.
19.7 Replace the window unit securely.
19.8 Replace the fascia.
19.9 Select the burner setting.
19.10 Close the control panel door.
20. 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.

16
21. CHECKS
21.1 A periodic visual check of the pilot and burner flames
should be made (see figures 22 & 23).
21.2 The appliance area must always be kept clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
21.3 Keep the base of the appliance clear to prevent obstruction
of air flow to the appliance. If fitted with a pedestal base,
make sure that the grill at back is not obstructed. If fitted
with legs, make sure there is no obstruction between the
legs.
21.4 The venting system should be examined regularly by a
qualified agency. We suggest an annual check.
22. SERVICING
