Frequently asked questions
Question Answer
What if my fi replace won't
turn on?
If you have followed all instructions for your remote control or wall
switch (see page 9, or the remote control booklet included with your
fi replace) and your fi replace still won't turn on, the batteries located inside
the wall switch kit may be low and need replacing. See page 11 for
instructions on how to replace the batteries.
If the fi replace still won't turn on after that, call your dealer for further
information. Your fi replace may require service by a qualifi ed service
technician. Visit valorfi replaces.com/contact for a list of dealers near you.
I've just started my fi replace
for the fi rst time, what is
that smell?
When operating your fi replace for the fi rst time, some vapors may
be released due to the burning of curing compounds used during
manufacturing. 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. This is perfectly normal. See First Time Operation on
page 7 for more information.
When I operate the fi replace,
why do I suddenly hear a
faster series of beeps than
usual?
This is an indication that the batteries in your fi replace are getting
critically low (not the batteries in your remote control handset, but the
batteries in the battery holder beside the wall switch). See page 11 for
instructions on how to replace the batteries.
Why do I hear popping or
snapping noises?
As your fi replace heats and cools with normal use, its metal parts will
expand and contract, which may cause some noise. This is pefectly
normal.
Why do I hear whirring
noises?
As you start or adjust your fi replace's fl ame, the control valve motor turns
to adjust the settings. This is perfectly normal.
How do I clean my fi replace? See page 13 to page 15 for cleaning instructions to keep your
fi replace looking great.
I dropped some pieces of
embers under the fi replace
while cleaning, is this
dangerous?
No. The embers from the fuel bed are not fl ammable and will not impact
the operation of your fi replace. If this happens, vacuum them up when
you clean your fi replace.
There is condensation on
the inside of the glass, is this
okay?
This is normal when the fi replace fi rst turns on, and will disappear
naturally when the fi replace heats up.
There is a white fi lm on the
inside of the glass, is this
okay?
This happens due to composition of the gas from your supplier. A by-
product of the combustion process in a gas fi replace is a mineral which
can appear as a white fi lm on the ceramic glass window of your appliance.
Clean as soon as possible (when the fi replace is cool) so it does not bake
onto the glass with time and become permanent. See page 13 to page
15 for cleaning instructions.
