Safety and Your Fireplace

Please Read and Carefully Follow all Safety Warnings and

Operating Instructions Contained in Your Owners Manual

(Replacement Manuals are available by contacting our service department at 1-800-468-2567 or visit www.valorﬁ replaces.com).

Please Follow These Important Child Safety Precautions and Recommendations,

• Parts of your Valor 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 ﬁ replace

is operating at reduced heating capacity.

• 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.

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 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.

• 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 page 23 of Owner’s Information section.

• Toddlers and Y oung 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

• If the ﬁ 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 receiver. It is recommended that

batteries are replaced annually in any event—see page 22.

DO NOT USE this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately, CALL a qualiﬁ 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

qualiﬁ 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 ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids.

NEVER OBSTRUCT the ﬂ ow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance CLEAR

of all obstacles and materials for servicing and proper operation.

Due to the high temperature, the appliance should be

LOCATED out of trafﬁ c areas and away from furniture and draperies. Clothing or ﬂ ammable material SHOULD NOT BE PLACED on or near the appliance.

Children and adults should be ALERTED to the hazards of high surface temperature and should STAY AWAY to

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 ﬁ 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.

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 ﬁ 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

OWNER’S INFO

Safety and Warning Information

Operating your ﬁ replace for the ﬁ rst 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.

Speciﬁ cations

Approval & Codes

This appliance is certiﬁ ed to ANSI Z21.88-2009 / CSA

2.33-2009 American National Standard / CSA Standard for Vented Gas Fireplace Heaters for use in Canada and USA, and to CGA 2.17-91 High Altitude Standard in Canada. This appliance is for direct vent insert installations.

This appliance complies with CSA P4.1-09 Testing method for measuring annual ﬁ replace efﬁ ciencies.

The installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149. Only qualiﬁ ed

licensed or trained personnel should install this appliance.

This appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

Ratings

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.

*High Altitude Installations

Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are

certiﬁ ed without deration for elevations up to 4,500 feet (1,370 m) above sea level. For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m) in USA, installations must be in accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1 and/or local codes having jurisdiction. Heating value of gas in some areas is reduced to compensate for elevation—consult your local gas utility to conﬁ rm. For installations at elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m) in Canada, please consult provincial and/or

local authorities having jurisdiction.

Supply Gas

Heater engine 739IRN is used with natural gas. Heater engine 739IRP is used with propane gas. The supply pressure must be between the limits shown in the Ratings section above. The supply connection is 3/8” NPT female and located on the left hand side of the control valve. The gas line entry point is on the left hand side on the ﬁ replace.

INSTALLATION

Tools and supplies required

• Packing knife

• Screwdriver set

• Pliers

• Adjustable Wrench

• Sealant

• Dish soap/water solution

• Gloves

• Eye Protection

• Electric outlet if installing a blower

Existing Fireplace Preparation

A few points must be considered before inserting the 739IR into an existing ﬁ replace cavity. Generally, no modiﬁ cations are allowed to the existing ﬁ replace that will compromise the integrity of the existing ﬁ replace. Components that are bolted or screwed on such as dampers or bafﬂ es may be removed to accommodate

the installation of the 739IR engine. Cutting away

any sheet metal parts of the existing ﬁ replace to accommodate the installation of the 739IR 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 739IR 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 739IR 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 739IR engine will ﬁ t behind any raised curb (some curbs may be removed separately from the refractory base).
