CAUTION—HOT! HOT! HOT!
This appliance is a HEATING appliance and it
becomes very hot when in operation.
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DO NOT
PLACE any object, furniture, draperies or
other item LESS THAN 36 inches (0.9 m) IN
FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE.
CHILDREN and PETS
Radiant heat can heat surfaces such as the
hearth in front of the fireplace to temperatures
that, although approved safe, can be
quite uncomfortable to touch or step on—
particularly for children and pets. Children
and pets should always be supervised when
in the room where the appliance is located.
Remote control handset should be kept out of
reach of children. In the presence of children,
we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you install
in front of the fireplace: a fire screen or, to protect young toddlers, a “hearth gate”—see
Options on page 43.
HOT SURFACES
Be aware that, although safe, some combustible materials and finishes, even though
installed at listed clearances may, over time, discolor, warp or show cracks. The 1200
requires the installation of the cement board provided with the engine.
Convective heat will exit the unit and travel up the wall surface if not impeded. Protruding
mantels and projections can help direct the heat away from the wall. AVOID PLACING heat
sensitive items such as televisions, paintings, decorations, etc. above fireplaces or near the
edge of protrusions unless appropriate.

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 38 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 37.
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).

HOT SURFACES. Be aware that, although safe,
some combustible materials and finishes, even
though installed at listed clearances may, over time,
discolor, warp or show cracks. The 1200 requires the
installation of the cement board provided with the
engine.
Convective heat will exit the unit and travel up the
wall surface if not impeded. Protruding mantels and
projections can help direct the heat away from the
wall. AVOID PLACING heat sensitive items such
as televisions, paintings, decorations, etc. above
fireplaces or near the edge of protrusions unless
appropriate.
Radiant heat can heat surfaces such as the hearth
in front of the fireplace to temperatures that, although
approved safe, can be quite uncomfortable to touch or
step on—particularly for children and pets. Accessory
screens and guards will reduce the radiant heat on
these surfaces.
Safety and Warning Information
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.
State of California. Proposition 65 Warning.
Fuels used in gas, wood-burning or oil fired appliances,
and the products of combustion of such fuels, contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.

General Hearth Considerations
Top of Finished Hearth
Must Be Flush With
Bottom of Heater to
accommodate some
optional mantels and
trims. See Option section
towards the end of this
manual for optional
accessories.
NOTE:
• Unit will need to be raised
in almost every case to
accommodate hearth or
combustible flooring.
• Non-combustible hearth
required if bottom of
fireplace is less than 4” from
combustible floor in front.
When the appliance
is installed directly on
carpeting, tile or other
combustible material
other than wood flooring,
the appliance shall be
installed on a metal or
wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the
appliance
WARNING
SAFETY WARNING! The Ventana is a very effective radiant heater. The hearth/floor in front of
the heater can get very hot (in excess of 200ºF). Locating the unit raised above the hearth/floor or
adding one of the optional screen fronts or a generic freestanding screen in front of the unit can
greatly reduce hearth temperatures. Any hearth within 4 inches of the base of the heater must be
constructed of non-combustible materials (see diagrams in the following pages). Note that some
materials, although safe can degrade due to heat—take this into consideration when choosing
materials.

Rules
1. Any hearth/floor in front of fireplace within 4 inches of the bottom of the unit must be non-combustible and
project a minimum distance as shown on page 14. The hearth/floor must have a non-combustible finish applied
over the 1/2 inch insulation board provided with the engine. This insulation board acts as a thermal break.
2. Minimum hearth projection is determined by a combination of the height of the hearth above the surface of
combustible floor or carpet and the distance between the hearth and the bottom of the fireplace.
3. Combustible baseboards (1 inch thick or less) located on the wall are acceptable provided they are located
below the base of the raised fireplace.
When the appliance is installed directly on

Wall Thickness
The appliance vent is suitable for penetrating a
combustible wall assembly up to 8 inches in thickness.
A non-combustible wall can be of any thickness up to
the maximum horizontal run of vent pipe allowed for
the particular installation.
Framing Vent in Combustible Walls &
Ceilings
When penetrating through combustible walls and
ceilings, frame a minimum of 10 x 10 inches opening
and ensure that the insulation is kept clear of the vent
pipe using either a wall thimble or an attic insulation
shield. Follow the installation instructions supplied
with the individual venting components.

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.

How to Read the Venting Chart
The chart below applies to roof or wall termination.
1. The total length of the vent pipe cannot exceed
40 feet (12.2 m).
2. The minimum vertical height with roof termination
is 6 feet (1.83 m).
3. Any combination of rise and run can be used as
long as they are within the allowable limits shown
on the chart below.
4. A maximum of 4 x 90 degrees elbows—or
equivalent (2 x 45 degr. = 90 degr.)—can be used.
5. Each 90 degrees elbow installed on the horizontal
plane is equivalent to a 3 feet horizontal pipe;
therefore, 3 feet must be subtracted from allowable
horizontal run (45 degrees elbow is equivalent to
18 inches horizontal pipe.)
6. All horizontal pipe runs must be graded 1/4 inch per
foot upwards in the direction of the exhaust flow.
The final pipe length, when terminating through the
wall may be graded downwards slightly to prevent
water migration.
7. A restrictor is required for many installations—see
next section.

Restrictor
MANY INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE A RESTRICTOR
for improved flame picture and performance, This unit
is supplied with one restrictor having four different
positions or settings. The level of restriction required
depends on the vertical rise in the venting system and,
to a lesser degree, the horizontal run and number of
elbows.
The amount of restriction is based on laboratory tests.
The ideal restrictor position may vary slightly, especially
when the vent pipe length is near the limits of the
acceptable configurations for each type of restrictor.
The chart on the previous page shows the vent
restrictor required relative to the length of the vent pipe.
To install the restrictor:
1. On an engine previously installed, open the panels
on each side of the window. Remove the window
skirt, the window, the logs, the right and rear top
brick panels.
2. According to the installation, look up the venting
chart on the previous page to know what position
the restrictor should be fitted in.
3. Remove the screws (2) on each side of the venting
port.
4. Place the restrictor in the required position over the
two holes.
5. Fit the screws and tighten.
6. Continue the installation or, for an engine previously
installed, replace the right and rear top brick panels,
the logs, the window and the window skirt. Close the
side panels.
