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 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 ames will be at their normal height.

Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing
& Vapor Barriers
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that vent installations
through exterior walls are caulked and weatherproofed in such a
manner as to:
• Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather side
by adequately caulking the outer vent plate to the exterior wall
surface.
• Prevent moisture inside the home from penetrating into the wall
structure by ensuring the inside wall plate is adequately sealed to
the inside vapor barrier.
• Prevent rain water and moisture from entering the walls by
sealing the joints between the outer vent tube and the inner and
outer wall plates.
We recommend the use of a high quality polyurethane sealant.
2626
Installations with Horizontal Termination—Installing to Wall
Wall Opening
• Where applicable, t all the required pipes and elbows up to the wall.
See the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the venting sections.
• Check the wall opening position.
• Make wall opening.
If the wall is constructed of solid non-combustible materials and has no
combustible surface cladding (including wood) inside or outside, the wall
plates or thimbles will not be required.
If the wall has combustible material, mark the wall for a 10” x 10” square.
If the wall is totally non-combustible (e.g. masonry block or concrete),
mark for a 7” circular hole. In both cases, the center of the hole should
line up with the center line of the horizontal vent.
Valor Terminal #551DVK—Preparing Wall Plates
The wall plates are not used for 7” hole in non-combustible walls.
1. Bend the wall shields and screw to the inside of the wall plates with 6
thread-cutting screws per plate. See gure 32.
2. Bend the inner wall plate tab as shown in gure 33 so that the seam on
the terminal tube will pass clearly through the plate with the wall shield
at the top. Place the inner wall plate over the terminal unit.
3. Slide the appliance/terminal into the wall. Make sure that the drain hole
is at the bottom—the seam will be through the notch in the wall plates.
See gure 34.
4. Slide the inner wall plate up to the wall. Mark the four holes for the wall
screws. Slide the plate away.
5. Drill and plug the wall.
6. Screw the plate to the wall with four screws provided.
7. Bend the outer wall plate tab as shown in gure 34.

Installations with Vertical Termination—Through the Roof
All Co-Axial Vent Installations
• Check the roof pitch to determine which roof ashing will be needed.
See venting accessories list on pages 39–40 for allowable components.
• The distance from the roof to the lowest terminal discharge opening
(“H” in gure 35) depends on the roof pitch and must be in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the termination unit.
Note: The venting system for these appliances is considered to be a
Special Venting System. The rule in the Installation Code requiring
a minimum vent height of 2’ above any portion of a building within 10’
does not therefore apply.
• The minimum clearances to combustible materials all round the vent
pipes must be in accordance with the dimensions shown in the Location
section of this manual.
• Drop a plumb from the ceiling to the center of the appliance vent
opening. Mark the position on the ceiling. Drill a small hole at the
marked position.
• Determine the position where the vent will pass through the roof. If
directly above the position where it penetrates the ceiling, drop a plumb
from the roof to the small hole in the ceiling and mark the roof at this
spot.
If rafters or other obstructions will prevent a vertical exit or if clear attic
space is desired, the roof outlet can be offset using 45° elbows. See
gure 35.
Drill a small hole at the marked position.
• A ceiling restop must be installed at the second oor and higher oors.
A ceiling support should be used below the at ceiling.
To install the restop and support, cut and frame a 10” (254 mm)
square hole centered on the small hole previously drilled. See gure 36.
• Fit vent accessory elbows and pipe lengths as required
up through ceiling support boxes and restops.
If installation includes offset, support the offsetting pipes
every 3’ (1 m) with wall straps. See gure 35.
• Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small hole.
The hole must allow for the minimum clearances to
combustible materials. See Location section in this
manual.
• Fit pipe lengths through the roof. Fit roof ashing
securing it with roong nails.
• Fit storm collar and termination cap.
Co-Linear Vent Installations
• The chimney and replace opening sizes are shown in Dimensions and Location
sections of this manual.
• Place the appliance (tted with the co-linear adapter) near the replace opening but
allow space for manipulating the chimney liners on to the appliance.
• Drop the 3” dia. exible liners into the chimney from outside.
• Fit the liners to the co-linear adapter paying attention to inlet and exhaust and move
the appliance to its proper position. Be aware of the minimum liver bend radius and
maximum liner horizontal run shown on page 17 of this manual.
• Fit the termination kit and ashing to the exterior of the chimney.
• Secure the appliance to the oor or wall if necessary.

Gas Supply Installation
• The gas supply pipe should enter the appliance case through the opening at the rear left side. The supply pipe should
be connected to the appliance gas inlet pipe situated at the left side of the control valve. Supply line connection to the
inlet pipe is 3/8” NPT ( female).
If the circulating fan is to be installed, be aware that the supply pipe run inside the case should be at the same
height as the appliance inlet pipe in order to clear the fan. If intending to t an internal isolating valve, check
that it will be clear of the fan.
• Use only new black iron or steel pipes or copper tubing if acceptable—check local codes. Note that in USA, copper
tubing must be internally tinned for protection against sulfur compounds.
• Unions in gas lines should be of ground joint type.
• The gas supply line must be sized and installed to provide a supply of gas sufcient to meet the maximum demand of
the appliance without undue loss of pressure.
• Sealant used must be resistant to the action of all gas constituents including LP gas. Sealant should be applied lightly
to male threads to ensure excess sealant does not enter gas lines.
• The supply line should include a manual shut-off valve to allow the appliance to be disconnected for servicing.
• A plugged 1/8” NPT tapping must be installed in the line. The tapping must be accessible for test gauge connection
and be immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the appliance.
• Pressure test the supply line for leaks.
» The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
» The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5kPa).
» Failure to either disconnect or isolate the appliance during pressure testing may result in regulator or valve
damage. Consult your dealer in this case.
• The minimum supply pressure is given in the Specications section
of this manual.
• All piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation
or servicing. All leaks must be corrected immediately.
• When testing for leaks:
» Make sure that the appliance is turned off.
» Open the manual shut-off valve.
» Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or soap solution to
all joints. Bubbles forming indicate a gas leak. Never use an
open ame to check for leaks.
» Correct any leak detected immediately.
• The pressure test tapping locations are shown in gure 39. A built-in
non-adjustable regulator controls the burner manifold pressure. The
correct pressure range is shown in the table in Specications section
of this manual. The pressure check should be made with the burner
alight and at its highest setting. See Lighting Instructions section for
full operating details.

The air shutter is factory set at an aeration gap that will give optimum performance
for the vast majority of installations. However, in a few unusual installations,
performance may be improved by adjusting the aeration. The need for adjustment
should be determined by operating the appliance with the ceramic fuel effects
and window installed. See the Final Checks section in this manual for adjustment
details.
Adjust the aeration by slackening the aeration plate screw and sliding the plate. In
an extreme circumstance, the plate can be totally removed. See gure 40.

Operation Checks
Check ignition, pilot stability, burner ames, and the full range of the thermostat using the rotary switch inside the
appliance and the remote control hand unit. See Lighting Instructions further on in this manual for full details.
Aeration adjustment
As described on page 30, burner aeration is adjustable. For the vast majority of installations, no adjustment will be
necessary. However, in a very few instances, performance may be improved by adjusting the aeration by sliding the
shutter. See gure 40 on page 30. Evaluate the aeration only after the unit has warmed up—approximately 15 minutes.
Increasing aeration will cause the ame to appear more transparent and blue making the ceramic fuel effects glow more.
Decreasing aeration will cause the ames to appear more yellow or orange making the fuel effects glow less.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon forming and dropping into the rebox.

Owner’s Information
Operating Your Fireplace
For your safety, this appliance is tted with a ame supervision device which will shut-off 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 the burner control knob is kept pushed in at the PILOT position. See
lighting instructions on page 41 of this manual.
Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During startup, condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of
the glass and causes dust and lint to cling to the glass surface. Initially, paint, while curing, may deposit a slight lm on the
glass. We therefore recommend that, during the rst few weeks of use, the glass be cleaned two or three times with nonabrasive common household cleaners (such as dish soap) and warm water. Ammonia based cleaners should NOT be
used. Subsequently, the glass should be cleaned two or three times a season depending on the circumstances. Do not
clean the glass while it is hot. Always securely replace the window before lighting.
If broken, the glass pane may only be replaced as a complete window unit as supplied by the manufacturer.
To Clean the Inside of the Glass
Louver Front:
• Lift and unhook the top louver. See gure 59.
• Lift and unhook the two side channels. See gure 60.
• Open the bottom louver—it does not need to be removed.
Cast Iron Front:
• Lift up and unhook the upper casting. The bottom casting
does not need to be removed. See gure 61.
Push in the two spring-loaded bolts at the top of the window
and make a quarter turn so that the slots in the bolt heads
are horizontal. This will release the top of the window. Swing
the top of the window open as far as the chain will allow. The
window should be open enough to let you clean the inside of
the glass. See gure 62.
To reinstall the window, proceed in the reverse order. Then,
pull the top of the window forward and release to check that it
opens slightly and returns conrming the good function of the
spring-loaded mechanism. Similarly check the bottom of the
window.

Owner’s Information
Push in the two spring-loaded bolts at the top of the window and make
a quarter turn so that the slots in the bolt heads are horizontal. This will
release the top of the window. Remove the bottom two spring-loaded
window bolts. Detach the chain from the top right corner of the window.
See gure 62. Carefully lift the window away. Keep the window and bolts
in a safe place.
Always completely remove the window before removing the ceramic
fuel effects.
When cleaning, make sure that no particles are brushed into the
slots in the burner.
To reinstall the window, proceed in the reverse order. Then, pull the top of
the window forward and release to check that it opens slightly and returns
conrming the good function of the spring-loaded mechanism. Similarly
check the bottom of the window.
Always securely replace and fasten the window before lighting.
Checks
• A periodic check of the pilot and burner ames should
be made. Check after the re has been on for at least
30 minutes. The pilot ame must cover the tip of the
thermocouple probe. The main burner ame pattern will
vary from appliance to appliance depending on the type
of installation and climatic conditions. See gures 63
and 64.
• The appliance area must always be kept clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
ammable vapors and liquids.
• Inspect the vent terminal outdoors regularly to make
sure that dirt, snow, insects, leaves, trees, etc. do not
obstruct it.
• Examine the whole vent system regularly. We
recommend annually.
Performance of LPG
