Stove Safety
This manual contains very important information about the safe installation and operation of the stove. Read and
understand all instructions carefully before installing and operating the stove. 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 stove are extremely hot, particular-
ly 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 hearth/floor surface! The hearth or
floor directly in front of the stove can get very hot
when the stove heats. Even if constructed of non-
combustible materials, and although safe, it may
reach temperatures in excess of 250º F depending on
choice of materials. 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 stove (if allowed)
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 stove. Avoid placing candles,
paintings, photos and other combustible objects
sensitive to heat or furniture within 36 inches (0.9m)
around the stove.
• Due to its high temperature, the appliance should be
located out of traffic areas and away from furniture
and draperies.
• Clothing or flammable material should not be placed
on or near the appliance.
Barrier Screen and Safety
• 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,

Venting
Top or Rear Facing Take-Off
This appliance is supplied with a top facing take-off
which may be converted to a rear facing one with no
extra parts required—see Vent Outlet page 19 for details.
Vent Material
This appliance is approved for installation using
4 x 6-5/8-inch co-axial direct vent pipe and accessories
as listed in Approved Venting Components pages 33–34.
This appliance may also be converted to co-linear
venting with two 3-inch flex pipes (rear facing take-off
only) for use in solid-fuel burning fireplaces and
chimneys using approved adapers and accessories.
Instructions for co-linear conversion are packaged with
the co-linear adapter. See Co-Linear page 16 and
Approved Venting Components pages 33–34.
Follow the installation instructions supplied with the
individual venting accessories.
Do not mix components from different manufacturers.
Do not cut pipe lengths; use adjustable lengths instead.
Vent Sealing
Seal all outer co-axial pipe and elbow joints, including
sectioned elbow joints, using high quality, high temper-
ature 2-inch wide self-adhesive aluminum foil tape
(Nashua-322-2 brand or similar). Wrap the tape com-
pletely around all outer joints and press firmly to seal.
A high-temperature black silicone sealant may be used
in the outer joints as a substitute to foil tape.
Ensure all the pipe joints have a minimum of 1-1/4 inch
overlap.
Wall Thickness
The appliance vent is suitable for penetrating a
combustible wall assembly up to 14 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 inches x 10 inches
opening and ensure that the insulation is kept clear of
the vent pipe using either a wall thinble or an attic
insulation shield. Also, seal all joints between the wall
plates, the wall and the vent pipe. Follow the installation
instructions supplied with the individual venting
components.

OUTER joints
(including all

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.
Important Installer Notice—
Weather Sealing & Vapor Barrier
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 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 penetrat-
ing 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.

Venting Chart
How to Read the Venting Charts
The chart below applies to co-axial roof or wall
termination in installations with vertical rise.
All rear venting without a vertical rise must
be terminated by a snorkel—see page 11.
1. The total length of the vent pipe cannot
exceed 40 feet.
2. The minimum vertical height with roof ter-
mination is 8 feet.
3. Any combination of rise and run can be
used as long as they are within the allow-
able limits shown on the chart.
4. A maximum of 5 x 90 degrees elbows—or
equivalent (2 x 45 degrees = 90 degrees)—
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. Maximum co-linear venting in existing
chimney systems is limited to 40 feet
vertical rise.
8. Restrictors are not required for co-linear
installations.

Restrictors
SOME INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE RESTRICTORS. For
improved flame picture and performance, this unit is
supplied with two different sets of vent restrictors. 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 set may vary, especially when the
vent pipe length is near the limits of the acceptable
configurations for each type of restrictors.
The chart on page 12 shows the vent restrictor required
relative to the length of the vent pipe.
Restrictors are not required for co-linear applications.
To install restrictors:
1. Remove every second screw from the exhaust ports
in the top of the firebox.
2. Install the restrictors with the removed screws.

Preparation Before Installing
Attention
ONLY qualified licensed or trained personnel
should install this appliance.
Caution
LEAVE THE APPLIANCE ON ITS PACKAGING BASE
to avoid damage to the control valve, wires and
pipes until ready to install into stove casing.
1. BEFORE YOUR START, YOU NEED TO KNOW FROM
THE HOMEOWNER:
• Required accessories to install with stove: fuel
bed, fan, venting accessories;
• Hearth, if used;
• Venting configuration.
2. Unpack the appliance however keep it on its packag-
ing base to avoid damaging the components under-
neath. Removing all items packed inside and around
it. Recycle packaging.
3. Check that you have everything required for the in-
stallation, using the Pack Content sheet. Also, check
that you have:
• Fuel bed (packed separately);
• Stove casing with barrier screen (in multiple
cartons);
• Venting accessories;
• Gas conversion kit, if necessary;
• Fan, if necessary;
• Electrical accessories, if fan is used.
4. Carefully read the Installer’s Checklist included
with the appliance for the installation sequence.
Read also this manual and the stove casing
manual to have all information necessary for the
installation.
Installation Considerations
Fan (Blower)
Allow for and install electrical wiring if there will be a
fan (blower) to install. Ask the homeowner if you are
not sure.
Venting Configuration
This unit is supplied with a top vent take-offand is field
convertible to a rear vent take-off. Plan routing of vent
taking into consideration stove and vent clearances,
allowable vent terminal locations BEFORE cutting a hole
in the roof or wall. Avoid penetrating the wall/roof at
structural members.
Gas Line Routing
Consider visibility of shuf-offor step-down regulators,
etc. when planning gas line routing.
Upack Appliance
The Madrona appliance is supplied separately from the
stove casings. The Traditional stove—MFCS01 (black) or
MFCS02 (majolica brown)—and the Modern stove
MFCS05 are each supplied in multiple cartons. You
must have in hand the stove casing before starting the
assembly of the appliance.
Unpack the cartons carefully. We strongly recommend
that you leave the appliance sitting on the packaging
base in which it came to avoid damaging the control
valve, wires and pipes already attached until it is
ready to install in the stove casing.
Some parts are packed in the cardboard sleeve around
the appliance; make sure you take them all out of the
packaging. Make sure you have all the components
including the stove casing components before you start
the installation

Installation Window & Optional Fan
Remove Window
It is easier to remove the window and all the items
packed inside of the firebox to make the engine lighter
for installation.
1. Release the spring bolts at top and bottom of the
window by pushing and turning 1/4 turn.
2. Lift the window and set it aside in a safe place to
avoid damage.
Unpack Stove Casing
1. Rough-in the gas line and electrical wiring for a fan
if any.
2. Decide where the stove should be positioned to
avoid moving it once all the casing is put together.
3. Unpack the casing and follow the instructions
supplied with each model (MFCS01, MFCS02 or
MFCS05).
Reposition Lighting Instructions Plate
Roll the lighting instructions cards and tucked in at the
rear above the angled flange or fan (if installed).

Unclip Remote Control Receiver
Under the
appliance, the
receiver box is
clipped to the
burner pipes to
facilitate
transportation.
Unclip the box
and let it hang
while you fit the
gas pipe.
Install Optional Fan (if required)
If this installation requires the optional fan, it is easier
to install it at this point.
1. Remove the mounting plate from the fan and dis-
card it.
2. Install the fan motor at the back of the heater. Using
the lower set of fixing holes on the fan will ensure
more space to handle the receiver in front of the
fireplace.
See 555CFK—Circulating
Fan Kit manual for complete
fan installation details.

Install Gas Pipe & Connector
The gas pipe, connector, clamp and fixing screw are
supplied with the engine.
The support bracket for the gas pipe is supplied with
the stove casing.
Install Receiver into Position
Once the gas pipe is fitted, clip the receiver on top of
the casting corssbar on the base, to the left hand side
of the valve. Make sure the receiver box is oriented with
its wires towards the back and its RESET button at the
front.
Installation Vent Outlet
Convert Vent Outlet (if necessary)
Rear Vent
If the appliance is to be vented from the top, it is ready
for vent installation once the engine is on the casting
base.
If the appliance is to be vented from the rear, it must be
converted. Follow these simple steps:
1. Remove the following parts in this order:
a. Dura-Vent collar, gasket and intake plate from
the top of the appliance (22 screws of the intake
plate and 2 rear screws of the collar);
b. Exhaust collar (8 screws). Note that the gaskets
are glued to the appliance or the intake plate; it
is not necessary to separate them from the parts
they are attached to. However, if they need to be
manipulated, BE CAREFUL not to damage them
because their material is fragile.
2. Reinstall through the vent opening at the rear of the
firebox in the reverse order in which you took the
parts out.
Co-Linear (Rear Outlet ONLY)
For conversion of rear outlet collar to co-linear (two
3-inch pipes) rear venting, refer to instructions
packaged with the 556CLA—Co-Linear Adapter.
NOTE
The support bracket used on Madrona Traditional
stoves and the one used on Madrona Modern
stoves are different. Refer to stove casing
installation manual for complete details.

Connect Gas Supply
The gas supply inlet connection
is a 3/8 inch NPT female
connector. If a circulating fan
or isolating valve is to be
installed, adjust the routing of
the gas line to suit.
Use only new black iron or steel pipes, CSST, or copper
tubing if acceptable—check local codes. Note that in
USA, copper tubing must be internally tinned for
protection against sulfur compounds.
Union in gas lines should be of ground joint type.
The gas supply line must be sized and installed to
provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the maximum
demand of the appliance without undue loss of
pressure.
Sealant used must be resistant to the action of all gas
constituents including propane gas. Sealant should be
applied lightly to male threads to ensure excess sealant
does not enter gas lines.
The supply line should include a manual shut-offvalve
and union to allow the appliance to be disconnected for
servicing.
Pressure test the supply line for leaks.
The appliance and its individual shut-offvalve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
Failure to either disconnect or isolate the appliance
during pressure testing may result in regulator or valve
damage. Consult your dealer in this case.
The minimum supply pressure is given on page 6 of this
manual.
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-offvalve.
• Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or soap
solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate a gas
leak.
The pressure test tapping locations are shown below. A
built-in non-adjustable regulator controls the burner
manifold pressure. The correct pressure range is shown
page 6 of this manual. The pressure check should be
made with the burner alight and at its highest setting.
See Appendix A – Lighting Instructions Plate page 36 for
full operating details.
