WARNING: Extremely Hot!

Heat and ﬂammability

• Some parts of your ﬁreplace are extremely hot, par-

ticularly the glass window. Use the provided barrier

screen and a gate to reduce the risk of severe burns.

• The glass windows can exceed temperatures of

500°F at full capacity.

• Always keep the appliance clear and free from com-

bustible materials, gasoline, and other ﬂammable

vapors and liquids.

• Be aware of hot wall surfaces. The wall directly above

the ﬁreplace can get very hot when the ﬁreplace

heats. Although safe, it may reach temperatures in

excess of 200ºF depending on choice of trims or

optional accessories. Do not touch!

• Be aware of hot surfaces in front of the ﬁreplace

windows. A shelf directly in front of the ﬁreplace can

get very hot when the ﬁreplace heats. Although safe,

they may reach temperatures in excess of 200ºF

depending on elevation of the shelf. Do not place

anything on it.

• Some materials or items, although safe, may dis-

color, shrink, warp, crack, or peel due to the heat

produced by the ﬁreplace. Avoid placing candles,

paintings, photos and other combustible objects

sensitive to heat or furniture within 36 inches (0.9m)

around the ﬁreplace.

• Solid wood ﬂooring in front of the ﬁreplace (if al-

lowed) may shrink during the heating season due

to heat.

• Due to its high temperature, the appliance should be

located away from high-traﬃc areas, furniture, and

draperies.

• Clothing or ﬂammable material should not be placed

on or near the appliance.

Barrier screen and safety

• A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from

the hot viewing glass is provided with this appliance

and shall be installed for the protection of children

and other at-risk individuals.

• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards

of high surface temperature and should stay away to

avoid burns or clothing ignition.

• Young children should be carefully supervised when

they are in the same room as the appliance. Tod-

dlers, young children, and others may be suscep-

tible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier

lation air. Keep the front of the appliance clear of

all obstructions for optimal operation and ease of

servicing.

• This unit must be vented directly outside and must

never be attached to a chimney serving a separate

solid fuel burning appliance. Each gas appliance

must use a separate vent system. Common vent

systems are prohibited.

Intended use

• This appliance is designed and approved as a supple-

mental heater to be used while attended. The use of

an alternate primary heat source is advisable.

• This unit is not for use with solid fuel.

• Do not use this heater as a temporary source of heat

during construction.

WARNING

Do not operate this appliance with the

glass front removed, cracked, or broken.

Do not strike or slam the glass front.

Replacement of the glass front should

be performed by a licensed or qualiﬁed

service person.

Initial and annual inspection

• Installation and repair should be performed by

a qualiﬁed service person. The appliance should

be inspected before use and at least annually by a

professional service person. More frequent clean-

ing might be required due to excessive lint from

carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that

control compartments, burners, and circultaing air

passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under

water. Immediately call a qualiﬁed service technician

to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of

the control system and any gas control that has been

under water.

Maintenance

• Keep the unit’s control compartment, burner, and

circulating air passageways clean to enable adequate

combustion and ventilation air.

• Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to

ensure that no debris, plants, trees, or shrubs are

interfering with air ﬂow.

A heating gas appliance does require safe handling. For this reason, we very strongly recommend children not be

allowed to touch the ﬁreplace or its controls.

Read and carefully follow all safety warnings and operating instructions contained in this manual, and follow

these important child safety precautions and recommendations:

• Parts of your Valor Fireplace become extremely

hot while in operation. The glass window tempera-

ture can exceed 500º F at full capacity.

• Do not let children touch the glass or any parts

of your ﬁreplace even after it is turned oﬀ, as the

surfaces will remain hot for some time.

• Even momentary contact with a hot glass surface

can cause a severe burn, including when the ﬁre-

place is operating at reduced heating capacity.

• The glass window will remain hot for an extended

period of time after the ﬁreplace has been turned

oﬀ. Make sure that children do not touch the ﬁre-

place during the cool down period.

• Children and adults should be alerted to the haz-

ards of high surface temperature and should stay

away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

• Young children should be carefully supervised

when they are in the same room as the appliance.

Toddlers, young children, and others may be sus-

ceptible to accidental contact burns.

A physical barrier is recommended if there are

at-risk individuals in the house. To restrict access

to a ﬁreplace or stove, install an adjustable safety

gate to keep toddlers, young children, and other

at-risk individuals out of the room and away from

hot surfaces.

• Keep the remote control handset out of reach of

children at all times. A child safety lockout feature

is included with your remote control, see Operating

your ﬁreplace on pages 9-10 for details.

• Make sure that the ﬁreplace, including the pilot

light, is completely turned oﬀwhen children are

present and close supervision is not available—see

pages 9 for details.

• If the ﬁreplace is not going to be used for an ex-

tended period of time, remove the batteries from

the remote control handset and battery holder un-

der the ﬁrebox. It is recommended that batteries

are replaced annually —see page 11 for details.

Child safety and your fireplace

Hot glass

will cause burns.

Do not touch glass

until cooled.

Never allow children

to touch glass.

A barrier designed to reduce

the risk of burns from the hot

viewing glass is provided with this

appliance and must be installed for

the protection of children and

other at-risk individuals.

DANGER

First time operation

When operating your new ﬁreplace for the ﬁrst 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 ﬂames

to be the full height of the ﬁrebox, or even slightly

higher, for the ﬁrst few hours of operation.

It is also possible that these vapors could set oﬀany

smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.

These vapors are quite normal on new ﬁreplaces.

We recommend opening a window to vent the

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

disappeared and the ﬂames will be at their normal

height.

Valor automatic gas shut-oﬀ

For your safety, Valor ﬁreplaces are ﬁtted with a

ﬂame supervision device which will shut-oﬀthe 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 manually

lighting the pilot. See the full Fireplace and Lighting

Information card attached to the ﬁreplace or as

reproduced in Appendix A of the Installation Manual.

Locating ﬁreplace and lighting information

The Fireplace and Lighting Information is located on a

card, behind the removable panel, at the right below

the window.

To access the card, remove the barrier screen,

both side doors and bottom removable panel. See

diagrams at right.

The card contains important information on both

sides of the card. It must be left with the ﬁreplace

when you are done.

Getting started

WARNING

Do not attempt to access the card while

the ﬁreplace is hot! Let the ﬁreplace cool

ﬁrst before touching it!

Fireplace control devices

There are two ways to control your ﬁreplace.

1. Thermostatic Remote Control turns ﬁre and

lights ON and OFF, controls ﬂame height and can

be programmed to function automatically.

2. Wall Switch turns ﬁre ON and OFF, and controls

ﬂame height.

Turn your ﬁreplace ON

Press and hold:

- button on remote, or

- ON-OFF button on wall switch

until 8 short beeps conﬁrm the start sequence has

begun; release button.

The pilot lights up, followed by the ﬁreplace.

If you are using the handset, it displays a pilot ﬂame

symbol ( ) during the ignition sequence.

If you need to light up the pilot manually, see the

Fireplace and Lighting Information card attached to

the ﬁreplace - see page 7 to learn how to access it.

Also, a copy of this card is reproduced in Appendix A

of the Installation Manual.

Turn your ﬁreplace OFF (including pilot)

Press and hold:

- button on remote, or

- ON-OFF button on wall switch

If the ﬂames or pilot are on, they will go out and you

will hear the valve motor wind down. You will hear

a clunk and a beep indicating that the valve has

received the signal from the remote control.

In the unlikely event that you cannot turn oﬀyour

ﬁreplace with the remote control handset, use the

wall switch. If the wall switch malfunctions and

will not turn oﬀthe ﬁreplace, wait 3 hours and the

ﬁreplace will automatically go to pilot. You can then

access the controls inside your ﬁreplace, once it has

cooled.

Alternatively, you may turn oﬀthe house gas supply.

In all cases, call your dealer for service assistance.
