Safety and Your Fireplace
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.
• 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
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 8 of
Owner’s Information section.
• 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 7.

Thank You ...
For purchasing a Valor by Miles Industries. Your new
radiant gas heater is a technical appliance that must
be installed by a qualifi ed dealer. Each Valor fi replace
is fully tested during the production process for your
safety and comfort.
Your unit has been professionally installed by:
Dealer Name: ________________________________
Phone Number :_______________________________
Should you encounter an operational problem, call
your dealer immediately.
Do not try to repair the unit as you may cause an
injury or damage the fi replace.
This manual and particularly the preceeding
and following pages contain very important
information regarding the safe operation of your
fi replace as well as maintenance instructions.
Read carefully BEFORE operating your fi replace
and pay special attention to the SAFETY
WARNINGS.
A heating gas appliance does require safe handling
and for this reason, we very strongly recommend that
no children be allowed to touch the fi replace and its
controls at all times. Do install a screen or barrier
in front of the fi replace to protect your children
against severe burns.
Operating Your Fireplace for the First 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.
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.
Flame Supervision Device
For your safety, this appliance is fi tted with a fl ame
supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot fl ame goes out. This device
incorporates a fi xed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot fl ame. If the probe is cool, the device will
prevent any gas fl ow unless manually lighting the pilot.
See full lighting instructions on page 14 of this manual.

Cleaning
DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT!
Let the fi replace cool fi rst before cleaning it.
Important - Glass cleaning - Mineral deposits
One of the by-products of the combustion process in
a gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a
white fi lm on the ceramic glass of the viewing door.
The composition of the deposit varies widely from
various locations and also from time to time in the same
location. It seems this is associated with the varying
sulfur content of the gas. You may have the problem for
a time and then not see it for many months when it will
reappear in your area.
We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass
manufacturers and they cannot give us a defi nitive
answer to this problem. Dealers have tried various
cleaning products with varying results. The following
recommendations will not guarantee results in your
particular case.
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Miles Industries’
control and is not covered under warranty.
• Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice
the buildup (white fi lm). If the fi lm is left for a longer
period of time, it will bake on. It is then much harder,
if not impossible, to remove.
• NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic
glass. Any abrasion of the surface has the
immediate effect of compromising the strength of the
glass. An emulsion type cleaner is recommended.
• Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the
glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most
paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive
to ceramic glass and should be avoided.
• Our dealers have had good results from the
products listed below. We cannot, however,
guarantee the results of these products.
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.
It is necessary to remove the cast iron fret and
brackets or the bottom cover before removing the
window—see previous installation sections.
WARNING
!
» BRASSO, POLISH PLUS by KELKEM, COOK TOP CLEAN CREME
by ELCO, WHITE OFF by RUTLAND, TURTLE WAX
The window can be removed for cleaning by rotating
the two fastening studs at the bottom corners 90
degrees to release, and swinging the bottom of the
window unit outwards to unhook the top edge.
IMPORTANT: To ensure a safe operation, verify that
the bolts are hooked properly to the window tabs;
then, pull out the top of the window and release it to
insure the springs return it.
After refi tting the window, apply light hand pressure
against the window frame sides to bed-in the window
seal.
If the Hot Glass Warning plate has been removed
from the front lower corner of the window, reinstall
it by sliding it between the glass and the frame as
indicated.
Hot Glass Plate
Dust, etc. can be brushed from the ceramic fuel effects
and fi rebox walls after removing the front unit and
opening the window. Dust etc. can also be removed
from the burner using a soft brush after removing the
ceramic fuel effects. When cleaning, make sure that
no particles are brushed into the slots in the burner.
