• 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.

• 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

• 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 pages 11–12 of Owner’s Information section.

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.

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.

OWNER’S INFORMATION

Owner’s Information

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 20 of this manual.

Cleaning Your Fireplace

Important - Glass cleaning - Mineral deposits

WARNING

DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT!

Let the ﬁ replace cool ﬁ rst before cleaning it.

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

Creme by Elco, White Oﬀ by Rutland, Turtle Wax

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.

Only the front window pane needs to be removed to access the interior of the ﬁ replace. To remove the window for cleaning:

1. Remove the 3-sided barrier screen carefully pulling it straight out.

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 oﬀ er a deﬁ 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 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 ammoniabased cleaner on the ceramic glass. Any

abrasion of the surface has the immediate eﬀ ect

2. Hook the window handle to one of the spring-loaded window levers

Owner’s Information

3. Pull the lever up and unhook the window. Repeat with the other lever.

4. Pull the top of the window outward and lift it up behind the front panel to disengage it from its rail. Note: If it is diﬃ cult, pull up one side of the window ﬁ rst, then the whole window.

OWNER’S INFORMATION

5. Once removed from the bottom rail, rotate the window pane outward to take it out completely; set it aside in a safe place to avoid damage.

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 coating and damage it.

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. 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 ﬁ replace

area is clear of ﬁ reglass, vermiculite or other media particles as these could be ingested by small children. Vacuum thoroughly around the ﬁ replace area after cleaning.

OWNER’S INFORMATION

Owner’s Information

To reﬁ t the window:

1. Remove any fuel bed media particle from

the window bottom rail before installing the window.

2. Ensure the gasket is well ﬁ tted to the bottom of the window pane.

3. Insert the window behind the appliance’s front panel and lower it into its bottom rail.

DANGER

The window unit must be correctly installed, fastened and sealed after servicing or serious bodily injury and/or damage to the appliance may result.

To ensure a safe operation:

• Double-check that the bottom of the window

frame is correctly installed in the bottom support railing;

• Verify that the levers are hooked properly to

the window tabs then;

• Pull out the top of the window and release it

to insure the springs return it;

• Ensure the window is sealed before operation.

WARNING

Failure to install the window correctly can leak carbon monoxide, aﬀ ect the performance of the ﬁ replace, damage components, cause overheating resulting in dangerous conditions. Damage caused by incorrect window installation is not covered by the Valor warranty.

4. Push the top of the window pane against the ﬁ rebox.

Ensure it is centered on the ﬁ rebox so it seals properly.

6. Apply ﬁ rm hand pressure around the window pane

particularly on the top and sides to ensure the

window is sealed tight against the ﬁ rebox.

ENSURE THE FRONT WINDOW’S SILICONE GASKETS ARE WELL SEALED, FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, TO THE SIDE WINDOWS!

5. While you hold it, pull down and hook one of the spring-loaded levers onto the window top black frame using the door handle. Repeat with the other lever.
