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 17 of this manual.

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 with location and time. It is believed to be associated with the varying sulfur content of the gas. You may have the problem intermittently.

We have consulted with ceramic glass manufacturers and they cannot offer a deﬁ nitive solution to this prob- lem. Dealers have tried various cleaning products with varying results. The following are recommendations only and are not meant to guarantee results.

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 etch into the glass. It is then much harder, if not impossible, to remove.

• NEVER use an abrasive cleaner or ammonia based 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. ◊ Brasso, Polish Plus by Kelkem, Cook Top Clean

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.

To remove the window for cleaning:

1. Remove the barrier screen.

a) 1555 1” trim: slide the screen up, unhook the

bottom tabs and disengage the top tabs.

b) 1550 3.5” and 1570 trims: slide the top lock-in

ing agents nor polishes should be used. Dry stains can be removed using a white or light colored cloth with mild soap and warm water when the material is cool, then dried immediately. If the stain is hard to remove, use a white or light colored synthetic scrub pad (not steel wool) and dry immediately. In case of an accidental spill, soak up the liquid IMMEDIATELY with a dry cloth and follow up with a wipe down with a wet cloth.

Clean the barrier screen dusting it with a soft brush. Clean the ﬁ rebox ceramic logs/rocks and walls dust-

ing them with a soft brush. Glass liners can be cleaned with household glass cleaner. Dust can also be removed from the burner using a soft brush after removing the ceramic logs. When cleaning, make sure that

no particles are brushed into the slots of the burner.
