Safety and Your Fireplace
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 fireplace
is operating at reduced heating
capacity.
• The glass window will remain hot
for an extended period of time after
the fireplace has been turned off.
Ensure that children are prevented
from touching the fireplace 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 fireplace. They
lack full awareness of danger and
rely on your protection. Toddlers,
in particular, do not have the motor
skills and response reflexes 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
fireplace.
• 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 fireplace, including
the pilot light, is completely turned
off when children are present and
close supervision and safety barriers
are not available—see page 9 of
Owner’s Information section.
• If the fireplace 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 8.
Please Read and Carefully Follow all Safety Warnings and
Operating Instructions Contained in Your Owner’s Manual
(Replacement Manuals are available by contacting our service department at
1-800-468-2567 or visit www.valorfireplaces.com).
Safety and Your Fireplace
!

Operating Your Fireplace for the First Time
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 higher, for the first 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 flames will be at their normal height.
Flame Supervision Device
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flame
supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot flame goes out. This device
incorporates a fixed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot flame. If the probe is cool, the device will
prevent any gas flow unless manually lighting the pilot.
See full lighting instructions on page 16 of this manual.
Owner’s Information
This manual and particularly the preceeding
and following pages contain very important
information regarding the safe operation of your
fireplace as well as maintenance instructions.
Read carefully BEFORE operating your fireplace
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 fireplace and its
controls at all times. Do install a screen or barrier
in front of the fireplace to protect your children
against severe burns.
Thank You ...

!WARNING
EXTREMELY HOT!!!
• READ the SAFETY information on pages
3 and 4 of this manual BEFORE operating
your gas heater.
• Some parts of your fireplace are EXTREMELY
HOT, particularly the GLASS window.
• DO NOT LET CHILDREN touch the glass or
any parts of your fireplace even after it is

Cleaning Your Fireplace
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 film 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 offer a definitive solution to this prob-
lem. 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 film). If the film 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 on the
ceramic glass. Any abrasion of the surface
has the immediate effect 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.
