Fireplace Safety
This manual contains very important information about the safe installation and operation of the fireplace. Read and
understand all instructions carefully before installing and operating the fireplace. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in possible fire hazard and will void the warranty.
Replacement manuals are available by contacting the Valor Customer Service at 1-800-468-2567, or by visiting
valorfireplaces.com.
WARNING: Extremely Hot!
Heat and flammability
• Some parts of the fireplace are extremely hot, par-
ticularly the glass window. Use the barrier screen
provided with the trim or a gate to reduce the risk of
severe burns.
• The glass windows can exceed 500°F at full capacity.
• Always keep the appliance clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
• Be aware of hot wall surfaces! The wall directly above
the fireplace can get very hot when the fireplace
heats. Although safe, it may reach temperatures in
excess of 200ºF depending on choice of trims or op-
tional accessories. Do not touch!
• Be aware of hot hearth/floor surfaces! The hearth or
floor directly in front of the fireplace can get very hot
when the fireplace heats. Although safe, they may
reach temperatures in excess of 200º F depending on
elevation of hearth. Do not step on it! Temperature
of hearth/floor surface will be reduced when barrier
screen is installed.
• Solid wood flooring in front of the fireplace (if al-
lowed) may shrink during the heating season
due to heat.
• Some materials or items, although safe, may discolor,
shrink, warp, crack, peel, and so on because of the
heat produced by the fireplace. Avoid placing candles,
paintings, photos and other combustible objects
sensitive to heat or furniture within 36 inches (0.9m)
around the fireplace.
• Due to its high temperature, the appliance should be
located out of traffic areas and away from furniture
and draperies.
• Any safety screen, guard, or barrier removed for ser-
vicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operat-
ing the appliance
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperature 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. Toddlers,
young children, and others may be susceptible to
accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recom-
mended if there are at-risk individuals in the house.
To restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install an
adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young chil-
dren, and other at-risk individuals out of the room
and away from hot surfaces.
• A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from
the hot viewing glass is provided with this appliance
and shall be installed for the protection of children
and other at-risk individuals.
• Clothing or flammable material should not be placed
on or near the appliance.

WARNING
Do not operate this appliance with the
glass front removed, cracked, or broken.
Replacement of the glass front should
be performed by a licensed or qualified
service person. Do not strike or slam the
glass front.
Glass window
• The glass front assembly must be in place and sealed
before the unit can be placed into safe operation.
• The glass front assembly must only be replaced as a
complete unit, as supplied by the fireplace manufac-
turer. No substitute material may be used.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass front as-
sembly. Do not attempt to clean the glass front when
it is hot.
Venting
• This unit must be used with a vent system as de-
scribed in this manual. No other vent system or com-
ponents may be used.
• Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventila-
tion air. Keep the front of the appliance clear of all
obstacles and materials for servicing and proper
operation.
• This gas fireplace and vent assembly must be vented
directly to the outside and must never be attached to
a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning ap-
pliance. Each gas appliance must use a separate vent
system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
Intended use
• This appliance is designed and approved as a supple-
mental heater and provides the potential for most
energy conservation when used while attended. The
use of an alternate primary heat source is advisable.
• This unit is not for use with solid fuel.
• Do not use this heater as a temporary source of heat
during construction.
Installation and Servicing
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional
service person. More frequent cleaning might be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding
material, et cetera. It is imperative that control com-
partments, burners, and circulating air passageways
of the appliance be kept clean.

USA, and to CGA 2.17-91 High Altitude Standard in
Canada. This appliance is for direct vent installations.
This appliance complies with CSA P.4.1-15 Testing
method for measuring annual fireplace efficiencies.
The installation must conform to local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.1. Only
qualified licensed or trained personnel should install

Ratings
*High Altitude Installations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
certified 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 confirm.
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 engines 1000KN is used with natural gas.
Heater engines 1000KP is used with propane gas.
The supply pressure must be between the limits
shown in the Ratings section.
The supply connection is 3/8”
NPT male and located on the
right hand side of the firebox.
A shut-offvalve (not supplied)
is required on the supply line to
isolate the unit during service.
See Connect Gas Supply section
for details.
Conversion Kits
The 1000K is supplied as natural gas or propane gas
and is field convertible between fuels. See instructions
packaged with the conversion kits for further
information.
Electrical
The 1000K 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 1095CFK Circulating Fan Kit or
GV60PAK Power Adapter.
HeatShift™System
The 1000K are designed to allow the installation of
the optional HeatShift System, a convection system
that redistributes the warm air flow away from the
fireplace opening to a more desirable location using
natural convection, without use of a fan.
The warm air flow may be relocated to a position
higher up the wall, or even to another room. The
result is much cooler wall temperatures above the
fireplace opening for locating televisions, artwork, etc.
Please note that the framing and mantel clearances
are affected by the installation of the HeatShift
System. Refer to “Appendix D—HeatShift™System™”
on page 70 for more information.
Outdoor Conversion Kit
The 1000K models are supplied standard for indoor
applications and may be adapted for installation
in specific “outdoor” applications protected from
weather as defined in the GV60CKO outdoor
conversion kit manual.
