1.0 SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: Do not operate the appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person. (The whole window unit may be temporarily removed by the owner for cleaning the interior of the firebox, etc.) Only the authorized Valor replacement window unit listed in the repair parts booklet must be fitted - never use substitutes. If the glass is damaged search inside and adjacent to the appliance for any glass fragments.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures 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 applian ce.
Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.
This appliance must be installed and repaired by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments; burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance are kept clean.
When operating your new fireplace for the first 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 flames to be the full height of the firebox, or even slightly highe r, for the first few hours of operation. It is also possible that these vapors coul d 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 flames will be at their normal height. During the first hour of use the ceramic firebox walls may go a smoky color. This is not soot. It is a temporary effect lasting only while the ceramic material becomes stabilized. The walls will revert to their initial color after your fire has been used for one or two hours.
Keep curtains, clothing, furnit u re and othe r flammable materials a safe distance from all parts of the appliance and its vent system.
Keep the appliance area well clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Never attempt to burn paper or any other mate rial in the appliance.
The venting terminal must not be recessed into a wall or siding.
The vent terminal on the outside wall m ust be kept free from obstructions. No objects should be placed within 2 feet (60cm) of the vent terminal. The terminal is hot during operation and requires a guard if it is accessible to any person. An approved Valor guard is available from your dealer.
During extreme weather conditions ensure that the vent outlet is free from ice and snow before attempting to light.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control, which has been under water.
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 fireplace.
