1.0 SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: Do not operate the appliance with the
glass front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement
of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified
service person.
(The whole window unit may be temporarily removed
by the owner for cleaning the interior of the firebox,
etc.)
Only the authorized Valor replacement window unit
listed in the repair parts booklet must be fitted - never
use substitutes.
If the glass is damaged search inside and adjacent to
the appliance for any glass fragments.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperatures and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room as the appliance.
Clothing or other flammable material should not be
placed on or near the appliance.
This appliance must be installed and repaired by a
qualified service person. The appliance should be
inspected before use and at least annually by a
professional service person. More frequent cleaning
may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control
compartments; burners and circulating air
passageways of the appliance are kept clean.
Keep curtains, clothing, furniture and other
flammable materials a safe distance from all parts of
the appliance and its vent system.
Keep the appliance area well clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Never attempt to burn paper or any other material in
the appliance.
The venting terminal must not be recessed into a wall
or siding.
The vent terminal on the outside wall must be kept
free from obstructions. No objects should be placed
within 2 feet (60cm) of the vent terminal. The terminal
is hot during operation and requires a guard if it is
accessible to any person. An approved Valor guard is
available from your dealer.
During extreme weather conditions ensure that the
vent outlet is free from ice and snow before attempting
to light.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control, which has been
under water.
Should you encounter an operational problem,
call your dealer immediately.
Do not try to repair the unit as you may cause an
injury or damage the fireplace.
NOTE
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.
During the first hour of use the ceramic firebox walls may go a smoky color. This is not soot. It is a temporary effect lasting
only while the ceramic material becomes stabilized. The walls will revert to their initial color after your fire has been used for
one or two hours.
