Valor Madrona MF28EN, Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

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 flame goes 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 MAN knob is in position MAN and the metallic core on the 

valve is pushed in. See full lighting instructions on page 31 of this manual.

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During startup, condensation, which 

is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes dust and lint to cling to the glass 

surface. Initially, paint, while curing, may deposit a slight film on the glass. We therefore 

recommend that, during the first few weeks of use, the glass be cleaned two or three times 

with non-abrasive common household cleaners (such as dish soap) and warm water. 

Ammonia based cleaners should NOT be used

.

Subsequently, the glass should be cleaned two or three times a season depending on the 

circumstances. Do not clean the glass while it is hot. Always securely replace the window 

before lighting. 

If broken, the glass pane may only be replaced as a complete window 

unit as supplied by the manufacturer. 

To remove the window for cleaning, rotate its four fastening studs 90 degrees to release 

and gently pull the window unit outwards—see page 16. Set aside in a safe place to avoid 

damage.  

To refit the window, place it on its frame and hold it in place while pushing and turning its 

fastening studs 90 degrees. Then, apply light hand pressure against the window frame 

sides to bed-in the window seal—see page 23.
Dust can be brushed from the ceramic logs and firebox walls after removing the front unit 

and opening the window. Dust can also be removed from the burner using a soft brush after 

removing the ceramic logs. When cleaning, make sure that no particles are brushed into 

the slots of the burner.

A periodic check of the pilot and burner flames 

should be made. Check after the fire has been 

on for at least 30 minutes. The pilot flame 

must cover the tip of the thermocouple probe. 

The main burner flame pattern will vary from 

appliance to appliance depending on the type 

of installation and climatic conditions. 

The appliance area must always be kept clear 

and free from combustible materials, gasoline 

and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Inspect the vent terminal outdoors regularly to make sure that snow, trees, bushes, leaves, 

or other objects do not obstruct it. 

Examine the vent system and terminal regularly. We recommend annually.
