SAFETY AND YOUR FIREPLACE

Safety and Your Fireplace

Read and understand all instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow these instal-

lation instructions may result in possible re hazard and

will void the warranty. Prior to the rst ring of the replace, read the

Owner’s information section of this manual.

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately, call a qualied service technician

to inspect the unit and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been under water.

This unit is not for use with solid fuel. Installation and repair should be performed by a

qualied service person. The appliance and venting system should be inspected before initial use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding, etc. It is imperative that the unit’s control compartment, burner, and circulating air passageways be kept clean to provide for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

Always keep the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other ammable

vapors and liquids.

Never obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance clear of all

obstacles and materials for servicing and proper operation.

This unit must be used with a vent system as described in this installation manual. No other vent system or components may be used.

This gas replace and vent assembly must be vented

directly to the outside and must never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each gas appliance must use a separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure that no debris, plants, trees, shrubs are inter-

fering with the air ow.

Turn o󰀨 the gas before servicing this appliance. It is

recommended that a qualied service technician perform an appliance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.

WARNING:

This product can potentially expose you to chemicals including Benzene which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to

www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Do not use this heater as a temporary source of heat during construction.

Due to the high temperature, the appliance should be

located out of tra󰀩c areas and away from furniture and

draperies.

Clothing or ammable material should not be placed

on or near the appliance. This appliance is a domestic room-heating appliance.

It must not be used for any other purposes such as drying clothes, etc.

Do not place furniture or any other combustible house-

hold objects within 36” of the replace front.

Be careful not to put any decorating objects sensi-

tive to heat to close above or around the replace as it

gets very hot when operating.

The glass door assembly must be in place and sealed before the unit can be placed into safe operation.

Do not operate this appliance with the glass door removed, cracked, or broken. Replacement of the

glass door should be performed by a licensed or qualied

service person. Do not strike or slam the glass door.

The glass door assembly shall only be replaced as a complete unit, as supplied by the replace manufac-

turer. No substitute material may be used. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass door assem-

bly. Do not attempt to clean the glass door when it is hot.

A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from the hot viewing glass is provided with this appliance and shall be installed for the protection of children and other at-risk individuals.

If the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier shall be replaced with the manufacturer’s barrier for this appliance.

Any safety screen, guard or barrier removed for servicing the appliance, must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

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 recommended if there are at-risk individuals in the

house. To restrict access to a replace or stove, install

an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at-risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.

WARNING!

Safety and Your Fireplace

Read and carefully follow all safety warnings and operating instructions contained in your owner’s manual

Replacement manuals are available by contacting the Valor Service Department at 1-800-468-2567 or visit www.valorreplaces.com.

FOLLOW THESE IMPORTANT CHILD SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Parts of your V alor 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 replace is operating at reduced

heating capacity.

The glass window will remain hot for an extended period of time after

the replace has been turned o󰀨.

Ensure that children are prevented from

touching the replace during the cool

down period.

T oddlers and Young Children must be closely supervised at all times

when they are in the same room as

the operating replace. They lack full

awareness of danger and rely on your protection. Toddlers, in particular , do not have the motor skills and response

re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 after-market safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and

other at-risk individuals a safe distance

from the 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 replace, including

the pilot light, is completely turned

o󰀨 when children are present and close supervision and safety barriers are not available—see page 7 of this manual.

If the 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 remote battery box. It is recommended that batteries are replaced annually in any event—see page 18.

SAFETY AND YOUR FIREPLACE

This manual and particularly the preceeding and following pages contain very important information regarding

the safe operation of your replace as well as maintenance instructions. Read carefully before operating your

replace and pay special attention to the safety warnings.

A heating gas appliance does require safe handling. For this reason, we very strongly recommend children are not

allowed to touch the replace or controls. Install a screen or barrier in front of the replace to protect your children

against severe burns.

This appliance is designed and approved as a supplemental heater and provides the potential for most energy conservation when used while attended. The use of an alternate primary heat source is advisable.

WARNING

• Read the safety information on pages 3 and

4 of this manual before operating your gas heater.

• Some parts of your replace are extremely

hot, particularly the glass window.

• Do not let children touch the glass or any

parts of your replace even after it is turned

o󰀨 as it is still hot.

• Use the barrier screen provided with the trim or a gate to reduce the risk of severe burns.

• Keep the remote control handset out of reach

of children.

• Hot wall surfaces! The wall directly above

the replace is very hot when the replace

heats. It is constructed of non-combustible materials and although safe, it may reach temperatures on choice of trims or optional accessories. DO

NOT TOUCH! We recommend installing the optional LDK HeatShift Duct Kit when hot walls are a concern.

• Some materials or items, although safe, may

discolor, shrink, warp, crack, peel, and so on

because of the heat produced by the replace.

Avoid placing candles, paintings, photos, and other items sensitive to heat within 36 inches

(0.9 m) around the replace.

OWNER’S INFORMATION

Introduction

Thank You ...

For purchasing a Valor by Miles Industries. Your new radiant gas heater is a technical appliance that must

be installed by a qualied dealer. Each Valor 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 replace.

Locating Fireplace & Lighting Information Card

WARNING

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TOUCH THE DATA CARD WHILE THE FIREPLACE IS STILL HOT! Let the

replace cool rst before touching it.

The Fireplace and Lighting Information card is located at

the right hand side of the replace opening. The card is

attached under the plinth.

Operating Your Fireplace for the First Time

When operating your new replace for the 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 ames to be the full height of the rebox, or even slightly higher, for the rst few hours of operation.

It is also possible that these vapors could set o󰀨 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 ames will be at their normal height.

Flame Supervision Device

For your safety, this appliance is tted with a ame

supervision device which will shut-o󰀨 the gas supply

if, for any reason, the pilot ame goes out. This device incorporates a xed probe, which senses the heat from the pilot ame. If the probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas ow unless manually lighting the pilot.

See full lighting instructions on page 13 of this manual.

Window

The info card is located behind the front panel below the window.

Info card

To access the card, remove the barrier screen, side doors and the plinth. Grab the card and pull it out. There is important information on both sides of the card.

number. It will be helpful if the appliance’s serial number can also be quoted. These numbers are on the information card. The replacement parts are shown at the end of this manual. Please always quote the part number and description when requesting spare parts.

Annual Inspection

In order to maintain the safe operation of your replace, contact your dealer to have a qualied technician go over the list below and make the necessary verications at least once every year.

Safe Operation List

To be performed by a qualied technician only

1. Inspect and operate the pressure relief mechanism to verify relief mechanisms are free from obstruction to operate. See Cleaning Your Fireplace: To ret the window section of this manual.

2. Clean glass window with a suitable replace glass cleaner. Abrasive cleaners must not be used. Be careful not to scratch the glass when cleaning. See Cleaning Your Fireplace section of this manual.

3. Inspect the operation of the ame safety system Pilot or Flame rectication device.

WARNING

DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT!

Let the replace cool 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 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 o󰀨er a denitive solution to this problem. 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 lm). If the 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 e󰀨ect 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.

Clean the window panes following the guidelines in this

section. Clean the steel trim with mild soap and warm water.

Any alcohol/solvent base cleaner will weaken the coat-

ing and damage it.

Clean the barrier screen dusting it with a soft brush.

Clean the rebox ceramic logs/rocks and walls dusting them with a soft brush. Dust can also be removed from the burner using a soft brush after removing the fuel bed. When cleaning, make sure that no particles are

brushed into the slots of the burner.

WARNING

CHOKING HAZARD! Ensure that the replace

area is clear of rebed particles as these could

be ingested by small children. Vacuum thoroughly

around the replace area after cleaning.

To remove the window for cleaning:

1. Remove the barrier screen.

2. Remove the side doors and the plinth.
