Safety and Your Fireplace
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 23 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 23.
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.valorfireplaces.com).

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.

INSTALLATION

Installation Planning
Installer—READ THIS FIRST
1. YOU NEED TO KNOW FROM THE
HOMEOWNER what accessories (surround,
door, etc.) will be installed with this fireplace;
2. Unpack the appliance.
3. Check that you have everything.
4. Clean cavity, chimney, ash dumps, clean-outs.
5. Install venting pipe.
6. Attach conversion plate to existing fireplace.
7. Fit appliance into cavity.
8. Connect and test gas supply.
9. Install the remote control system.
10. Install bricks and logs.
11. Refit window.
12. Verify operation and adjust aeration settings.
Existing Fireplace Preparation
A few points must be considered before inserting the
738BX into an existing fireplace cavity. Generally, no
modifications are allowed to the existing fireplace that
will compromise the integrity of the existing fireplace.
Components that are bolted or screwed on such as
dampers or baffles may be removed to accommodate
the installation of the 738BX engine. Cutting away
any sheet metal parts of the existing fireplace
to accommodate the installation of the 738BX is
prohibited. Check with local authorities if in doubt.
Clean Fireplace and Chimney
Have the chimney swept and the fireplace cavity
including ash dumps and clean-outs cleaned before
installing the 738BX heater and vent liners. Any
creosote or soot residue remaining in the fireplace
cavity chimney or clean-out may cause odors or
stains once the 738BX insert is installed. Consult with
chimney sweep for information on how best to clean.
Existing Dampers
Factory-built, zero-clearance fireplaces will require the
damper to be removed in order to install the vent liners.
These dampers are usually bolted into place. Dampers
in masonry fireplaces must be fixed open and may
remain in place.
13. Install the remote control handset wall holder.
14. Instruct the homeowner on the operation and
maintenance of the fireplace.
15. Install the surround trim and front.
16. Install the fret if required.
Tools and supplies required
• Packing knife
• Screwdriver set
• Pliers
• Adjustable Wrench
• Sealant
• Dish soap/water solution
• Gloves
• Eye Protection
Ash Retaining Curbs
Some fireplaces (particularly factory-built) have a
raised curb at the front edge to retain ashes. Check the
dimensions carefully to ensure the 738BX engine will fit
behind any raised curb (some curbs may be removed
separately from the refractory base).
Gas Line Routing
Plan the routing of the gas line before proceeding.
Use the existing hole for the gas line in factory-built
fireplaces. If the fireplace has no access hole, carefully
drill an access hole of 1.5 inch (38 mm) or less through
the lower sides or bottom of the firebox. The access
hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation
after the gas supply line has been installed. See
Dimensions section for detailed location of gas inlet.
Also, take into consideration whether or not a shut-off
valve will interfere when planning routing of the gas
line.
11

INSTALLATION

Venting Installation
IMPORTANT: This appliance’s venting system requires room air to be used
in the combustion process.
1. Rough-in one 3” diameter vent liner into the existing chimney
system from the roof. Be careful not to tear or damage the liner
in the process. Leave plenty of liner at the bottom to facilitate the
connection of the liner to the vent slider. It is best to leave the top
termination until later.
2. a) Large cavity opening
Slide the appliance into the cavity.
b) Smaller cavity opening
Release the two screws retaining the vent slider to the front of the
firebox.
Remove the slider from the firebox by sliding it towards the back of
the firebox.
3. Secure the liner to the collar on the vent slider using 4 tapping
screws.
If the vent slider was removed from the firebox, slide the firebox
onto the vent slider in the cavity taking care not to damage the liner.
Make sure that the vent slider is pulled all the way forward.
Secure the vent slider to the front of the firebox with two screws
removed earlier.
4. From the roof, pull the liner and fit the flashing.
5. Fit the terminal cap. Secure with screws.

The following guidelines apply for all brick liners.
1. Inside the firebox, on the top of each side, release
the screw of the side brick anchors (one per side)
just enough to allow them to rotate.
2. Place the rear panel against the back of the firebox,
on the ledge at bottom.
3. Rotate the anchor up and out of the way and slide
the left hand side panel against the firebox side.
Rotate the anchor back down to hold the panel.
Ceramic Logs
Unpack he ceramic logs very carefully to avoid damaging the fragile material. Install the logs as shown below.
Please note that the position of the Logs is critical to insure proper performance of the appliance.
1. Spread the decorative charcoals on each side of
the log tray, covering the sheet metal as shown.
DO NOT PUT ANY DECORATIVE CHARCOAL
PIECES WITHIN THE PILOT
SHIELD AREA.
4. Rotate the anchor up and out of the way and slide
the right hand side panel against the firebox side.
Rotate the anchor back down to hold the panel.
5. Tighten the side brick anchors on each side of the
firebox.
6. Install the port cover fixing it using the two screws
already in the firebox top.

INSTALLATION

Both front logs to rest slightly on the
edge of the firebox window frame.
5. Identify the right cross log; it has
a hole under on of its end and it is
the shortest cross log. Place it on
the right pin located on the rear
log. Rest its other end in the crook
of the front right log.
6. Identify the middle cross log. It does not have a
hole underneath. Place its narrow end on the flat
depression in the rear log next to the right cross log
on the rear log. Place its wider end on the front log.
7. Identify the left cross log; it has a hole under its
narrow end. Place its narrow end on the pin located
on the rear log. Rest its wider
end on the the crook in the
front left log at an angle of
approximately 30 degrees
from the center line of the
fireplace to allow for the
flame to come up in front of
the rear log.
2. Place the rear log centering it side to side in the
firebox. Position forward until it sits against the
sheet metal return behind the burner.
3. Place the front left log on top of the burner with its
front edge resting slightly on the window frame.
4. Place the front right log on the top of the burner
with its left end abutted to the front left log and its
front edge resting slightly on the window frame.
Center the front logs side to side in relation to
the firebox.

Window Refitting
1. To refit the window, hook its top part to the firebox’s
opening frame. Make sure that the wider part of
the window frame is at the bottom.
2. While you hold it, push in and turn the two top
spring-loaded bolts a quarter turn to engage their
pin.
3. Push in the bottom of the window against the firebox
and fasten the two bottom spring-loaded bolts a
quarter turn.
Operation Check
Turn the fireplace flame up and down using the
remote control to confirm that the full range of inputs
is achieved—see the remote control operation
instructions on pages 24–25.
Aeration Settings
Light the fire and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the flame picture. Burners are
equipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary
aeration. See the figures below. The shutters are
factory-set to an aeration gap which will give optimum
performance for the vast majority of installations.
In a few unusual installations, the flame picture may
be improved by adjusting the aeration. The need for
adjustment should be determined only by operating the
appliance with the ceramic logs and window installed.
Increasing aeration (open) will cause the flames
to appear more transparent and blue showing more
ceramic log glow.
Decreasing aeration (close) will cause the flames to
appear more yellow or orange showing less ceramic
log glow.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon
forming and dropping into the firebox.

Remote Control Handset Wall Holder Installation
The remote control kit for this fireplace
comes complete with a wall-mounted holder.
This holder is not required in all installations
but is provided as an optional feature for
those customers who wish to mount the
remote handset to the wall.
To install the holder to the wall, find a
convenient location and use the hardware
provided with the kit. See the diagram below
for required hardware and configurations.
Note that the holder can be installed at the
base of a light switch plate.
IMPORTANT. The location of the remote
control handset is important to assure proper
temperature regulation. To obtain a constant
temperature, we recommend that the handset should be between 3 and 15 feet away from the appliance but not
directly above it. We also advise that the handset should be located away from any other heat source and not in
direct sunlight as this may affect the temperature sensor located in the remote handset.
