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 29 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 28.
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).

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.

Existing Fireplace Preparation
A few points must be considered before inserting the
780I into an existing fireplace cavity. Generally, no
modifications are allowed to the existing fireplace that
will compromise the integrity of the existing fireplace.
Components that are bolted or screwed on such as
dampers or baffles may be removed to accommodate
the installation of the 780I engine. Cutting away
any sheet metal parts of the existing fireplace
to accommodate the installation of the 780I is
prohibited. Check with local authorities if in doubt.
Clean Fireplace and Chimney
Have the chimney swept and the fireplace cavity
including ash dumps and clean-outs cleaned before
installing the 780I heater and vent liners. Any creosote
or soot residue remaining in the fireplace cavity
chimney or clean-out may cause odors or stains once
the 780I insert is installed. Consult with chimney sweep
for information on how best to clean.
Existing Dampers
Factory-built, zero-clearance fireplaces will require the
damper to be removed in order to install the vent liners.
These dampers are usually bolted into place. Dampers
in masonry fireplaces must be fixed open and may
remain in place.
Ash Retaining Curbs
Some fireplaces (particularly factory-built) have a
raised curb at the front edge to retain ashes. Check the
dimensions carefully to ensure the 780I engine will fit
behind any raised curb (some curbs may be removed
separately from the refractory base).
11
INSTALLATION

Unpacking the appliance
Beware of sharp edges! Wear gloves!
1. Unpack the appliance.
2. Unpack any loose items from around the appliance
and check against the Pack Content list provided in
the documentation package.
3. Remove the window and set aside in a safe place to
avoid damage—see next page.
4. Verify that you have all the components required
for the installation, including:
-ceramic panels & fuel bed;
- trim;
- venting components and accessories;
- fan and electrical components for its
installation if used.
Appliance Preparation
Existing Fireplace Preparation
Gas Line Routing
Plan the routing of the gas line before proceeding.
Utilize the existing hole for the gas line of the factory-
built fireplace.
If the fireplace has no access hole, carefully drill an
access hole of 1.5 inch (38 mm) or less through the
lower sides or bottom of the firebox. The access hole
must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after
the gas supply line has been installed.
See Dimensions section for detailed location of gas
inlet. Also, take into consideration whether or not a fan
or shut-off valve will interfere when planning routing of
the gas line.
Existing Glass Doors and Wire Screens
Existing glass doors must be permanently removed
prior to installing the 780I insert.
Combustible Mantels
Combustible mantel clearances must conform to those
required for the original solid-fuel fireplace into which
the 780I is being installed.
Attach Warning Conversion Plate to Existing
Fireplace (label supplied loose with 780I
heater)
Attach the “This fireplace has been converted...”
label to the existing fireplace using screws or other
mechanical means and store any removed parts in
back of the existing fireplace for future use.
12
INSTALLATION

Appliance Preparation
Fan installation
If the 795CFK Circulating Fan Kit (blower) is to be
installed, we suggest that you do it now.
The fan cavity is accessible from the back of the firebox
to facilitate its installation. If the fan is retrofitted after
the installation of the appliance, the appliance will need
to be removed. Therefore, we recommend that, where
possible, the fan be installed before the appliance is
fitted into the cavity.
Refer to instructions provided with the 795CFK to
install the fan.
Window Removal
The window is held in place by a spring-loaded lever on
each side.
1. To remove the window, locate the levers on each
side of the window towards the top. Using your
finger, pull the lever towards you and unhook it from
the window frame bracket.
2. Gently pull the top of the window outward.
3. Lift the window out of its bottom railing and set it
aside in a safe place to avoid damage.

Venting Installation
IMPORTANT: This appliance’s venting system is room sealed and
therefore, does not require room air to be used in the combustion process.
1. Rough-in two 3” diameter vent liners into the existing chimney
system from the roof. Be careful not to tear or damage the liners in
the process. It may be easier to install both liners at the same time
rather than one at a time. Leave plenty of liners at the bottom to
facilitate the connection of the liners to the vent slider. It is best to
leave the top termination until later.
Designate and mark the top and bottom of one liner as
“EXHAUST” to avoid confusion later.
2. a) Large cavity opening
Slide the appliance into the cavity.
b) Smaller cavity opening
Release the two screws retaining the vent slider to the front
of the firebox.
Remove the slider from the firebox by sliding it towards the
back of the firebox.
3. Apply RTV sealant to the collars on the vent slider and fit the
two liners ensuring that the exhaust liner is connected to
the identified “EXHAUST” vent collar. Secure with 4 tapping
screws per liner.
If the vent slider was removed from the firebox, slide the firebox
onto the vent slider in the cavity taking care not to damage the
liners. Make sure that the rear edge of the slider is hooked
over the cleat on the firebox. Secure the vent slider to the
front of the firebox with two screws removed earlier.
4. From the roof, pull
the liners and fit the
flashing.
5. Fit the terminal
cap ensuring that
the exhaust liner
is connected to
the exhaust vent
collar. Secure with
screws.
6. Seal the terminal
and flashing from
water penetration
as required.

• Make sure that the appliance is turned off.
• Open the manual shut-off valve.
• Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or
soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate
a gas leak.
Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
Correct any leak detected immediately.
The pressure test
tapping locations is
shown in the figure
below. An internal
regulator within the
valve controls the
burner manifold
pressure.
The correct pressure
range is shown in
the table in section
Specifications of this
manual on page 6.
The pressure check
should be made with
the burner alight and at
its highest setting. See
Lighting Instructions
section for full operating
details on page 36.

of the rear log as shown. The lower end rests on the
glass and should be rotated forward against the cast
grate allowing flames to come up behind the left log.
4. Place the right front log with its left end flat on the
glass. The notch in the log should place squarely on
the second-to-right peg on the grate. The right end
of the log sits against the grate’s peg.
