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 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.
• Toddlers and Young 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
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
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 10
of Owner’s Information section.
• 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 wall battery holder.
It is recommended that batteries are
replaced annually in any event—see
page 9.
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.valorfi replaces.com).

This appliance is designed and approved as a
supplemental heater and provides the potential
for most energy conservation when used while
attended. The use of an alternate primary heat
source is advisable.
This manual and particularly the preceeding and
following pages contain very important information
regarding the safe operation of your fi replace as
well as maintenance instructions.
Read carefully BEFORE operating your fi replace 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 fi replace and its
controls at all times. Do install a screen or barrier

Owner’s Information
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT!
Let the fi replace cool fi rst before cleaning it.
!
Spring Loaded Window Levers
Operating Your Fireplace for the First 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.
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.
Flame Supervision Device
For your safety, this appliance is fi tted with a fl ame
supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot fl ame goes out. This device
incorporates a fi xed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot fl ame. If the probe is cool, the device will
prevent any gas fl ow unless manually lighting the pilot.
See full lighting instructions on page 17 of this manual.
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 fi lm 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 off er a defi nitive 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 fi lm). If the fi lm 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 or ammonia-
based cleaner on the ceramic glass. Any
abrasion of the surface has the immediate eff ect 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.
◊ Brasso, Polish Plus by Kelkem, Cook Top Clean
Creme by Elco, White Off by Rutland, Turtle Wax
Do not clean the glass while it is hot!
Always securely replace the window and the barrier
screen before lighting.
If broken, the glass pane may only be replaced
as a complete window unit as supplied by the
manufacturer.
If the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier shall
be replaced with the manufacturer’s barrier for this
appliance.
To remove the window for cleaning, we suggest
you get help from another person as the window
is long and heavy:
1. Remove the barrier screen.
2. Remove the side doors and the plinth.
3. Remove plinth support bracket.
4. Find the levers on each
side of the window towards
the top. Using your fi nger,
pull the levers towards you
and unhook them from the
window frame brackets.

Ratings
*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 1800JN is used with natural gas.
Heater engine 1800JP is used with propane gas.
Specifi cations
The supply pressure must be
between the limits shown in
the Ratings section above.
The supply connection is
3/8” NPT male and located
on the left hand side of the
fi rebox. A shut-off valve (not supplied) is required on
the supply line to isolate the unit during service. See
Supply Gas Installation section for details.
Conversion Kits
The 1800J L3 is supplied as natural gas or propane gas
and is fi eld convertible between fuels. See instructions
packaged with the conversion kit for further information.
Electrical
The 1800J is designed to run on battery power and
does not require an electrical power source to operate
as a heater. However, it requires electrical power
to operate optional 1595CFK Circulating Fan Kit or
1270RBK Remote Blower Kit.
LDK HeatShift Duct Kit
The 1800J is designed to allow the installation of the
optional LDK HeatShift Duct Kit, a convection system
that redistributes the warm air fl ow away from the
fi replace opening to a more desirable location using
natural convection, without use of a fan.
The warm air fl ow may be relocated to a position higher
up the wall, out the sidewalls, or even to another room.
The result is much cooler wall temperatures above the
fi replace opening for locating televisions, artwork, etc.
Please note that the framing and mantel clearances
are aff ected by the installation of the LDK. Refer to
the installation manual packed with the kit for more
information.
This appliance is designed and approved as a
supplemental heater and provides the potential
for most energy conservation when used while
attended. The use of an alternate primary heat
source is advisable.
