Please Read and Carefully Follow all Safety Warnings and

Operating Instructions Contained in Your Owners Manual

(Replacement Manuals are available by contacting our service department at 1-800-468-2567 or visit www.valorﬁ replaces.com).

Please Follow These Important Child Safety Precautions and Recommendations,

• Parts of your Valor Fireplace become

extremely hot while in operation.

• The glass viewing window

temperature can exceed 500 F

at full capacity. Momentary contact with a hot glass surface can cause a severe burn, even if the ﬁ replace is operating at reduced heating capacity.

• The glass window will remain hot

for an extended period of time after the ﬁ replace has been turned off. Ensure that children are prevented from touching the ﬁ replace during the cool down period.

withdraw in the event of accidental contact with a hot surface.

• A physical barrier is strongly

recommended if there are young children, or at-risk individuals in the house. Install an approved aftermarket safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at-risk individuals a safe distance from the ﬁ replace.

• Keep the remote control handset

out of reach of children at all times. A wall mount storage holster

is provided with your remote control handset.

• Ensure that the ﬁ replace, including

the pilot light, is completely turned off when children are present and

close supervision and safety barriers are not available—see page 23 of

Owner’s Information section.

• Toddlers and Young Children

must be closely supervised at all times when they are in the same

room as the operating ﬁ replace. They lack full awareness of danger and rely on your protection. Toddlers, in particular, do not have the motor skills and response reﬂ exes to

• If the ﬁ replace is not going to be used

for the summer or any extended period of time, remove the batteries

from the remote control handset and receiver. It is recommended that

batteries are replaced annually in any event—see page 23.

OWNER’S INFO

Safety and Warning Information

Operating your ﬁ replace for the ﬁ rst time

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 appliance. 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.

Speciﬁ cations

Approval & Codes

This appliance is certiﬁ ed to ANSI Z21.88-2009 / CSA

2.33-2009 American National Standard / CSA Standard

for Vented Gas Fireplace Heaters for use in Canada and USA, and to CGA 2.17-91 High Altitude Standard in Canada. This appliance is for gravity vent insert

installations.

This appliance complies with CSA P4.1-09 Testing method for measuring annual ﬁ replace efﬁ ciencies.

The installation must conform to local codes or, in the

absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149. Only qualiﬁ ed

licensed or trained personnel should install this appliance.

This appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or, in the absence of local

codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

Ratings

It is also possible that these vapors could set off any smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. 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.

*High Altitude Installations

Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are

certiﬁ ed without deration for elevations up to 4,500 feet (1,370 m) above sea level. For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m) in USA, installations must be in accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1 and/or local codes having jurisdiction. Heating value of gas in some areas is reduced to compensate for elevation—consult your local gas utility to conﬁ rm. For installations at elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m) in Canada, please consult provincial and/or local

authorities having jurisdiction.

Supply Gas

Heater engine 738BXN is used with natural gas. Heater engine 738BXP is used with propane gas. The supply pressure must be between the limits shown in the Ratings section above. The supply connection is 3/8” NPT female and located on the left hand side of the control valve. The gas line entry point is on the left hand side on the ﬁ replace.

Overview

HOT HEARTH / FLOOR!

The hearth or ﬂ oor in front of the ﬁ re- place may become very hot when the ﬁ replace heats. Do not use the hearth as a seat or shelf. Solid wood ﬂ ooring in front of the ﬁ replace (if allowed) may shrink during the heating season due to heat.

Some materials or items, although safe, may discolor, shrink, warp, crack, peel, and so on because of the heat produced by the ﬁ replace. Avoid placing candles, paintings, photos, and other items sensitive to heat around the ﬁ replace.

INSTALLATION

This appliance, as supplied, may ONLY be installed in an existing unaltered, functioning solid-fuel burning ﬁ replace with a working ﬂ ue and constructed of non-combustible material. This appliance is APPROVED for installation into combustible type construction only when using the 770ZCK Zero Clearance Kit (see separate instructions packaged with the kit for details).

INSTALLATION

Venting

Vent Location

The vent terminal must be located through the roof. This gravity vent appliance is designed to opreate when an undistrubed airﬂ ow hits the outside vent terminal from any direction. Check local codes for allowable vertical vent termination.

Vent Materials

Use a 3” diameter aluminum ﬂ ex liner approved for gas venting when installed as an insert (existing chimney). Use a 4” diameter type “B” vent when installed with a 770ZCK Zero Clearance Kit (see separate instructions packaged with the kit for details).

Venting Notes

Where possible, avoid joining ﬂ ex pipe. If joints are required,

use a approved connector and seal joints with RTV high temp sealant.

Horizontal offsets are permissible to allow for routing around masonry projections. Avoid bending ﬂ ex pipe over a 45 degrees radius where possible.
