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 26 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 25.
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
785IL 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 785IL engine. Cutting away
any sheet metal parts of the existing fireplace
to accommodate the installation of the 785IL 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 785IL 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 785IL 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 785IL 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 and logs;
- 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 785IL insert.
Combustible Mantels
Combustible mantel clearances must conform to those
required for the original solid-fuel fireplace into which
the 785IL is being installed.
Attach Warning Conversion Plate to Existing
Fireplace (plate supplied loose with 785IL
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.

Pressure Test Points
The minimum supply pressure is given in the section
Specifications of this manual—page 6.
All piping and connections must be tested for leaks
after installation or servicing. All leaks must be
corrected immediately.
When testing for leaks:
• 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 33.

Burner Removal and Reinstall
The following guidelines apply for all panels. You do
not need to remove the burner to install the panels.
1. Inside the firebox, on the top of each side, release
the screw of the side panel anchors (one per side)
just enough to allow them to rotate.
2. Place the rear panel against the back of the firebox,
on the ledge at bottom, behind the burner.
3. Rotate the anchor up and out of the way and slide
the left hand side panel against the firebox side.
Rotate the anchor back down to hold the panel.
4. Rotate the anchor up and out of the way and slide
the right hand side panel against the firebox side.
Rotate the anchor back down to hold the panel.
The ceramic panels can be installed without removing
the burner. However, you can remove the burner for
additional space if desired.
1. Remove the 2 screws fixing the rear of the burner
to the manifold bracket as indicated. Do not remove
the air shutter screws.
5. Tighten the side panel anchors on each side of the
firebox.
6. Install the top panel supporting it with the back and
side panels.
7. Discard the front bricks as they are not required on
this fireplace.
2. Grab the burner as indicated and gently pull up the
rear first and then the front. Be careful not to hook
the pilot hood as you pull the burner up.
3. To reinstall the burner, fit the burner in the firebox
inserting the front first. Again, be careful not to
hook the pilot hood when fitting the burner over
the pilot. Fix the burner to the manifold bracket at
the rear with 2 screws.

INSTALLATION

Ceramic Logs Installation
Unpack the ceramic logs very carefully to avoid damaging them. Install the logs as shown below. Please
note that the position of the logs is critical to insure proper performance of the appliance.
When placing the base and middle logs, rotate them a little bit to anchor them into position.
1. Place the rear log on the back of the ember bed locating its right-hand end over the key in the ember
bed. Slide the log back until it rests against the vertical sheet metal edge.
2. Place the left-hand middle log in front of the rear log locating it over the key in the ember bed as
indicated. The flat part of the log sits on the platform. The key notch is at the back of the log.
3. Place the left-hand base log on the platform locating it on the key as indicated. Move the log slightly forward
so that it does not cover the pilot. However, do not cover the two burner holes at the front of the log.
