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 12 of this manual.

OWNER’S INFORMATION

Owner’s Information

Cleaning Your Fireplace

WARNING

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 and the barrier screen before lighting.

If broken, the glass pane may only be replaced as a complete window unit as supplied by the manufacturer. If the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier shall be replaced with the manufacturer’s barrier for this appliance.

It is necessary to unhook the cast iron fret and brackets or the bottom cover, as well as the barrier screen before removing the window for cleaning.

1. Remove the barrier screen.

WARNING

DO NOT TOUCH THE BARRIER SCREEN OR FIREPLACE WHILE THEY ARE HOT! Let the

ﬁ replace cool ﬁ rst before cleaning it.

a. Open the top brackets outwards to unhook the

screen top.

b. Unhook the bottom of the screen from the

window frame.

2. Clean the barrier screen with a soft brush.

3. Remove the window for cleaning. a. Rotate the two fastening studs at the bottom

corners 90 degrees to release them.

b. Swing the bottom of the window outwards to

unhook the top edge.

4. Clean the window glass following the guidelines

indicated in this section.

5. Dust the ceramic fuel effects and ﬁ rebox walls using

a soft brush.

6. Dust the burner using a soft brush after removing the

ceramic fuel effects. When cleaning, make sure

Replacing Batteries

WARNING

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES WHILE THE FIREPLACE IS STILL HOT! Let

the ﬁ replace cool ﬁ rst before touching it.

CAUTION

DO NOT USE a screwdriver or other metallic object to

remove the batteries from the receiver or the handset! This could cause a short circuit to the receiver.

Low batteries signal: see page 10.

The remote control receiver of the appliance uses four alkaline 1.5 V AA batteries and the handset uses one 9 V alkaline battery. Batteries should last one to two seasons, depending on usage. Removing the batteries in the off-season will extend the battery life. Should the batteries loose power, the control may be operated by manually turning the control knob at the valve.

To replace the batteries in the remote control receiver:

1. The receiver is located to the left of the valve and it

is retained to the ﬁ rebox by a Velcro tab. Grab the

receiver and pull it out from its location.

2. Slide and remove the receiver cover.

3. Replace the 4 AA alkaline batteries.

4. Replace the cover.

5. Put the receiver back in its position pushing it in so

it attaches to the Velcro tab.

The replacement parts are shown at the end of this manual. Please always quote the part number and description when requesting spare parts.

How to Turn Your Fireplace OFF (including pilot)

First, ensure your ﬁ replace is cooled BEFORE going ahead.

Vent Conﬁ gurations

QUALIFIED INSTALLER

NOTE: The glass front and hearth are very hot. Existing wire mesh screens or free standing hearth mounted mesh screens may be used in front of the RF24 insert to help minimize the chance of injury.

Vent Materials

Use a 3” diameter aluminium ﬂ ex liner approved for gas venting when installing as an insert (existing chimneys). Use a 4” diameter type “B” vent when installing with a RA24ZC Zero Clearance Kit. See separate instructions packaged with the Zero Clearance Kit. The minimum vent lengths are shown below. For other allowable conﬁ gurations, refer to the venting tables in

the National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code B149.1.

WARNING

Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts speciﬁ cally approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.

QUALIFIED INSTALLER

Existing Fireplace Preparation

A few points must be considered before inserting the RF24 into an existing ﬁ replace cavity. Generally, modiﬁ cations to the existing ﬁ replace that will compro- mise its integrity are NOT allowed. Components that are bolted or screwed on such as dampers or bafﬂ es may be removed to accommodate the installation of the RF24 engine. Cutting away any sheet metal

parts of the existing ﬁ replace to accommodate the installation of the RF24 is prohibited. Check with

local authorities if in doubt.

Clean Fireplace and Chimney

Have the chimney swept and the ﬁ replace cavity including ash dumps and clean-outs cleaned before installing the RF24 heater and vent liners. Any creosote or soot residue remaining in the ﬁ replace cavity, chimney, or clean-out may cause odors or stains once the RF24 insert is installed. Consult with chimney sweep for information on how best to clean.

Existing Dampers

Factory-built, zero-clearance ﬁ replaces will require the damper to be removed in order to install the vent liners. These dampers are usually bolted into place. Dampers in masonry ﬁ replaces must be ﬁ xed open and may remain in place.

Ash Retaining Curbs

Some ﬁ replaces (particularly factory-built) have a raised curb at the front edge to retain ashes. Check the dimensions carefully to ensure the RF24 engine will ﬁ t behind any raised curb (some curbs may be removed separately from the refractory base). The fret retainers allow for some vertical adjustment of the cast iron fret should the fret need to sit on top of the curb, otherwise the fret will need to be eliminated or adequate room provided behind the curb.

Gas Line Routing

Plan the routing of the gas line before proceeding. Utilize the existing hole for the gas line. If the factorybuilt ﬁ replace has no access hole, carefully drill an access hole of 1.5 inch (38 mm) or less through the lower sides or bottom of the ﬁ rebox. The access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed. See General Dimension drawing for detailed location of gas inlet. Also, take into consideration whether or not a fan or shut-off valve will interfere when planning routing of the gas line.

Existing Glass Doors and Wire Screens

Existing glass doors must be permanently removed

prior to installing the RF24 insert. Existing wire ﬁ re screens may remain in place or new ones may be added. The RF24 has been tested and approved to operate with wire ﬁ re screens in the closed or open positions.

Combustible Mantels

Combustible mantel clearances must conform to those required for the original solid-fuel ﬁ replace into which the RF24 is being installed.

Paint Existing Refractory Liners

It may be desirable, for visual reasons, to paint the existing refractory liners in black to blend in with the RF24 insert once installed.

Attach Warning Label to Existing Fireplace

(label supplied loose with RF24 heater)

Attach the “This ﬁ replace has been converted...” label to the existing ﬁ replace using screws or other mechanical means and store any removed parts in back of the existing ﬁ replace for future use.

Connect Gas Supply

• It’s preferable to rough-in the gas line at this point before proceeding with the ﬁ rebox installation.

• The gas supply inlet connection is a 3/8” NPT female connector. For detailed location of this

connector, see drawing in section Dimensions. If

a circulating fan or isolating valve is to be installed, adjust the routing of the gas line to suit.

• Use only new black iron or steel pipes or copper tubing if acceptable—check local codes. Note that in USA, copper tubing must be internally tinned for protection against sulfur compounds.

• Unions in gas lines should be of ground joint type.

• The gas supply line must be sized and installed to provide a supply of gas sufﬁ cient to meet the maximum demand of the appliance without undue loss of pressure.

• Sealant used must be resistant to the action of all gas constituents including LP gas. Sealant should be applied lightly to male threads to ensure excess sealant does not enter gas lines.

• The supply line should include a manual shutoff valve and union to allow the appliance to be disconnected for servicing.

• Pressure test the supply line for leaks.

• The appliance and its individual shut-off valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa).

• The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa).

• Failure to either disconnect or isolate the appliance during pressure testing may result in regulator or valve damage. Consult your dealer in this case.

• The minimum supply pressure is given in the section

Speciﬁ cations of this manual.

• All piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or servicing. All leaks must be corrected immediately.

• When testing for leaks:

• Make sure that the appliance is turned off.

• Open the manual shut-off valve.

• Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate a gas leak. Never use an open ﬂ ame

to check for leaks.

• Correct any leak detected immediately.

• The pressure test tapping locations are shown in ﬁ gure below. A built-in non-adjustable regulator controls the burner manifold pressure. The correct pressure range is shown in the table in section

Speciﬁ cations of this manual. The pressure check

should be made with the burner alight and at its

highest setting. See Lighting Instructions section

for full operating details.

Adjust Aeration (if necessary)

Light the ﬁ re and allow to warm up for 10–15 minutes to evaluate the ﬂ ame picture. The burner is equipped with an adjustable air

shutter to control primary aeration. See ﬁ gures below. The shutter is factory-set at an aeration gap, which will give optimum performance for the vast majority of installations. In a few unusual installations, ﬂ ame picture may be improved by adjusting the aeration. The need for adjustment should be determined only by operating the appliance with the ceramic fuel effects and window installed. Increasing aeration will cause the ﬂ ame to appear more transparent and blue making the ceramic fuel effects glow more.

Decreasing aeration will cause the ﬂ ames to appear more yellow or orange making the fuel effects glow less.

Too little aeration may result in black carbon forming and dropping into the ﬁ rebox.
