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 9 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 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.valorfi replaces.com).
Safety and Your Fireplace

OWNER’S
INFORMATION
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 16 of this manual.
Owner’s Information
Performance of propane gas appliances may be
aff ected by the quality of commercial gas supplied
in your area.
Do not put
furniture or other objects

WARNING
EXTREMELY HOT!!!
• READ the SAFETY information on pages
3 and 4 of this manual BEFORE operating
your gas heater.
• Some parts of your fi replace are EXTREMELY
HOT, particularly the GLASS window.
• DO NOT LET CHILDREN touch the glass or
any parts of your fi replace even after it is
turned off as it is still hot.
• USE THE BARRIER SCREEN provided with
the appliance, front or trim or a GATE to
reduce the risk of burns.
• Keep the remote control handset OUT OF
REACH of children.
• HOT HEARTH/FLOOR SURFACE! The
hearth or fl oor directly in front of the fi replace
is VERY HOT when the fi replace heats. Even
if constructed of non-combustible materials,
and although safe, it may reach temperatures
in excess of 200º F depending on choice of
materials. DO NOT STEP ON IT!

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 in
front of the fi replace to protect your children against
severe burns.

Owner’s Information
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 widely from
various locations and also from time to time in the
same location. It seems this is associated with the
varying sulfur content of the gas. You may have the
problem for a time and then not see it for many months
when it will reappear in your area.
We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass
manufacturers and they cannot give us a defi nitive
answer to this problem. Dealers have tried various
cleaning products with varying results. The following
recommendations will not guarantee results in your
particular case.
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 bake on. It is then much harder,
if not impossible, to remove.
• NEVER use an abrasive cleaner or an 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.

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.
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT!
Let the fi replace cool fi rst before cleaning it.
To remove the window:
1. Unhook the trim
with the barrier
screen.
2. Remove the side
access doors as
indicated.
3. 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.
4. Gently pull the top of the
window outward.
5. Lift the window out of its bottom railing and set it
aside in a safe place to avoid damage.
Clean the window following the guidelines in this sec-
tion.
Clean the trim and front with mild soap and water.
Any alcohol/solvent base cleaner will weaken the coat-
ing and damage it.
Dust the barrier screen with a soft brush.
Dust the fi rebox ceramic logs/rocks and walls with
a soft brush.
Dust can also be removed from the burner using a soft
brush after removing the ceramic logs. When cleaning,
make sure that no particles are brushed into the
slots of the burner.
To refi t the window:
1. Place the window in its
bottom railing and push its top
against the fi rebox. Ensure to
remove any particles in the
railing before installing the
window.
