10. CHECK APPLIANCE OPERATION
The Flame Supervision & Blocked Flue Monitoring System
The burner lighting unit incorporates a system which will automatically shut off the gas supply if the flame goes out.
The appliance also incorporates a system which will shut off the gas supply if the flue is faulty. If the flue is faulty, the hot
products of combustion will pass over and actuate a heat sensitive switch located at the right side of the downdraught
diverter. When actuated the switch will shut off the gas supply.
If the gas supply is shut off due to activation of any part of the above system, the appliance must not be used until the cause is
identified and corrected.
This monitoring system must not be adjusted, bypassed or put out of operation.
This monitoring system, or any of its parts, must only be exchanged using Valor Authorised parts.
10.1 Turn on the gas supply and check all joints up to the appliance gas tap for gas soundness using a soap solution or
leak detection fluid.
10.2 Check ignition
10.2.1 Depress the control knob and turn to position 1.
10.2.2 Keep the knob depressed for a few seconds then, while keeping the knob depressed, turn it to position 2/IGN. If
the control knob is inadvertently released before turning to 2/IGN, turn back to OFF and start again. The main burner
should light at low setting. If it does not light during a few attempts, check the electrode spark gap - see section 7. If the gap
is satisfactory but there is no ignition, ensure that the air has been purged.
10.2.3 When ignition has been achieved, keep the control knob depressed for approximately ten seconds then release it.
If the burner does not remain alight ensure that the air has been purged.
10.3 Check Control Settings
10.3.1 Check that the burners are correctly alight at all settings as in the following table:-
Control Knob Setting Burner Appearance
1Main Burner on Low
Decorative Flame Off
2/IGN Main Burner on Low
Decorative Flame On
3Main Burner on Medium Height
Decorative Flame On
4Main Burner on High
Decorative Flame On
5Main Burner on High
Decorative Flame Off
10.3.2 Turn back to off after checking.
To turn off: - Depress the control knob partially, turn clockwise to OFF and release the knob. If any resistance is felt at
position 1, release the downwards pressure on the knob before turning to OFF.
Note: If the fire is turned off while hot, wait three minutes before relighting.
11. CHECK THE REFERENCE PRESSURE
The burner aeration is non-adjustable. The appliance is preset to give the correct heat input on Natural Gas at 20mbar (8in
w.g) inlet pressure and no further adjustment is necessary. The burner pressure should be checked at the pressure test point
located on the pipe connecting the gas tap to the front main burner. The pressure check should be carried out using a
calibrated pressure gauge after removing the test point screw and washer. The fire should be alight and the control knob
should be at setting 4. The pressure setting should be within the limits shown in the appliance specifications -see section 1.
After checking the pressure, turn off the fire, remove the pressure gauge and replace the pressure test sealing screw and
washer. Relight the fire and test all gas joints for soundness using a suitable leak detection fluid.

12. TEST FOR SPILLAGE A spillage test must be made before the installed ire is left
with the customer, carry out the test in the following
manner before refitting the outer case.
12.1 Close all doors and windows in the room
containing the fire.
12.2 Light the fire and set the control to No.4
position.
12.3 After five minutes test by holding alighted
smoke match inside the edge of the draught diverter at
the left side of the appliance (see fig.9).
12.4 The installation is satisfactory if smoke is
drawn into the draught diverter.
12.5 If the smoke is not drawn in, leave for a
further ten minutes and then repeat the test.
12.6 If the smoke is still not drawn in, remove the
fire and inspect the sealing of the closure plate. If
this is satisfactory but spillage persists, the chimney
may require attention. Disconnect the fire and
seek expert advice.
12.7 Open all doors and windows and recheck
as above.
12.8 If an extractor fan is installed in the same
room as the fire or a connecting room, check that
spillage does not occur with the fan operating and
all doors between the fan and fire open.
13 REPLACE OUTER CASE
13.1 Lower the outer case into position with the
case bottom angled forward slightly. Make sure that
the front edge of the convection air deflector is
underneath the top edge of the hood opening - see
figure 10. Then, ease the case bottom inwards to
engage on the fixing studs.
13.2 Secure the case with the two knurled nuts
and washers.
14. MAKE FINAL CHECKS AND INSTRUCT USER
14.1 Recheck the ignition and operate the fire on all settings.
14.2 Instruct the user on the correct operation of the fire and especially advise that to light the fire, the control knob
must be depressed and turned to the 2/IGN position.
14.3 Advise that the fire can be lit with a long match or taper if necessary.
14.4 Advise the user that the window will require cleaning periodically both outside and inside as described in the users
instructions. Explain how to remove and replace the window unit and coal bed for cleaning etc. Stress that cleaning should
only be carried out when the fire is cold.
14.5 Advise that the fire may give off a slight odour while new. This is normal and it will disappear after a short period
of use.
14.6 Advise the user that the bright metal firebox interior will colour with use and that this is quite normal.
14.7 Emphasise that if the glass panel is broken or damaged, the fire should be turned off and not used until the window
unit is refitted with an authorised replacement.
14.8 Recommend that the appliance should be serviced and the chimney inspected by a competent person (In the UK a
CORGI registered person) at least annually.
If the appliance is in premises in the United Kingdom occupied by a tenant, point out that by law a landlord must have any
gas appliance, flue and pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every 12 months.
