Fireplace Safety

This manual contains very important information about the safe installation and operation of the ﬁreplace. Read and

understand all instructions carefully before installing and operating the ﬁreplace. Failure to follow these instructions

may result in possible ﬁre hazard and will void the warranty.

Replacement manuals are available by contacting the Valor Customer Service at 1-800-468-2567, or by visiting

valorﬁreplaces.com.

WARNING: Extremely Hot!

Heat and ﬂammability

• Some parts of the ﬁreplace are extremely hot, particu-

larly the glass window. Use the barrier screen provid-

ed or a gate to reduce the risk of severe burns.

• The glass windows can exceed 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 ex-

cess of 200ºF (93°C) depending on choice of optional

accessories. Do not touch!

• Be aware of hot hearth/ﬂoor surfaces! Any projections

directly around the ﬁreplace can get very hot when

the ﬁreplace heats. Although safe, they may reach

temperatures in excess of 200ºF (93°C) depending on

elevation of hearth. Be careful of touching these! Do

not put objects on the hearth or shelf. Temperature

of projection surfaces will be reduced when barrier

screens are installed.

• Some materials or items, although safe, may discolor,

shrink, warp, crack, peel, and so on because of 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 allowed)

may shrink during the heating season due to heat.

• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be

located out of traﬃc areas and away from furniture

and draperies.

• Clothing or other ﬂammable material should not be

placed on or near the appliance.

Barrier Screen and Safety

• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards

of high surface temperature and should stay away to

avoid burns or clothing ignition.

• 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.

• Young children should be carefully supervised when

they are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers,

young children, and others may be susceptible to

accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recom-

mended if there are at-risk individuals in the house. To

restrict access to a ﬁreplace or stove, install an adjust-

able safety gate to keep toddlers, young children, and

other at-risk individuals out of the room and away

from hot surfaces.

• Any safety screen, guard, or barrier removed for ser-

vicing an appliance, must be replaced prior to operat-

ing the appliance.

Fireplace Safety

Glass window

• The glass front assembly must be in place and sealed

before the unit can be placed into safe operation.

• The glass front assembly must only be replaced as a

complete unit, as supplied by the ﬁreplace manufac-

turer. No substitute material may be used.

• Do not strike or slam the glass front.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass front as-

sembly. Do not attempt to clean the glass when it is

hot.

Venting

• This unit must be used with a vent system as de-

scribed in this manual. No other vent system or com-

ponents may be used.

• Never obstruct the ﬂow of combustion and ventilation

air. Keep the front of the appliance clear of all obsta-

cles and materials for servicing and proper operation.

• This gas ﬁreplace and vent assembly must be vented

directly to the outside and must never be attached to

a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning ap-

pliance. Each gas appliance must use a separate vent

system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

WARNING

Do not operate appliance with the glass

front removed, cracked, or broken.

Replacement of the glass should be done

by a licensed or qualified service person.

Intended use

• This appliance is designed and approved as a supple-

mental heater and provides the potential for most

energy conservation when 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.

Installation and Servicing

• The appliance and its venting system should be

inspected before use and at least once a year by

a qualiﬁed service person.

• Installation and repair should be done by a qualiﬁed

service person. The appliance should be inspected

before use and at least annually by a professional

service person. More frequent cleaning might be

required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding

material, et cetera. It is imperative that control com-

partments, burners, and circulating 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.
