Valor H3 Series, Homeowner'S Manual

 First time operation

When operating your new 

fi

 replace for the 

fi

 rst time, 

some  vapors may be released due to the burning of 

curing compounds used in the manufacture of the 

fi

 replace. They may cause a slight  odor and could 

cause the 

fl

 ames to be the full height of the 

fi

 rebox, 

or even slightly higher, for the 

fi

 rst few hours of 

operation.
It is also possible that these vapors could set o

ff

  any 

smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity. 

These vapors are quite normal on new 

fi

 replaces. 

We recommend opening a window to vent the 

room. After a few hours use, the vapors will have 

disappeared and the 

fl

 ames will be at their normal 

height.

Valor automatic gas shut-o

ff

For your safety, this 

fi

 replace is 

fi

 tted with a 

fl

 ame 

supervision device which will shut-o

ff

  the  gas supply 

if, for any reason, the pilot 

fl

 ame goes out. This device 

incorporates a 

fi

 xed probe, which senses the heat 

from the pilot 

fl

 ame. If the probe is cool, the device 

will prevent any gas 

fl

 ow unless manually lighting 

the pilot. See full lighting instructions card attached 

to the 

fi

 replace or reproduced in Appendix A of the 

fi

 replace's Installation manual.
