Casting Tolerances
Due to the nature of cast iron, dimensional consistency may vary from one unit to the next and some variation
in surface nish and atness is to be expected. We have done our best to control and make allowance for this;
however some variation is inevitable.

INSTALLATION WITH 530 ENGINE
The Valor model 530 heater with the 563SCB Senator Front comes ready for installation as a zero clearance unit
into combustible type framing, without need for a separate zero clearance kit. The 530 without the standard zero
clearance stand-off spacers may also be installed into existing solid-fuel burning replaces provided space and local
codes permit.
Hearth Requirements
A 7/8” high plinth is supplied to raise the heater and ensure a base at the proper height for the cast front to sit on
regardless of oor nish height. If not using the plinth supplied, you MUST make allowance for oor nish and raise
(shim) the heater up so the bottom of the heater sits at the nished oor/hearth height, otherwise, the cast front will
not sit at the proper height.
Anon-combustible hearth is not required in front of this appliance.
Floor & Mantel Requirements
The 530 heater is approved for installation directly on any combustible material other than soft ooring material
such as carpet or vinyl.
The 563SCB Senator Front may be installed with combustible mantels provided clearances are maintained as
indicated in the Dimensions and Clearances, and Framing diagrams below and on the following page. Be aware that
although safe, some combustible materials and nishes at the listed clearances may, over time, discolor, warp, or
show cracks. Care should be taken when choosing materials—consult your replace dealer.

FRAMING
The 563SCB Senator Front comes
supplied with a framing plate for zero
clearance applications. The framing
plate is painted black and may be left
exposed beyond the perimeter of the
cast iron front or may be covered with
non-combustible material if desirable.
A non-combustible hearth is not
necessary in front of this appliance.
The appliance is approved to install
directly on wood sub-ooring.
Any framing construction must be
clear of stand-offs.
Be aware that the area of 7½” x
26¼” (19 cm x 67 cm) immediately
above the framing plate must be
constructed with non-combustible
materials as shown in gures.

INSTALLATION
Fit the top bafe under the top panel of the
appliance case. Secure with 2 thread forming
screws.
Fit the stand-off spacers. The stand-off spacers
for these installations are supplied at. These
spacers are left and right handed.
! Warning: Failure to install the stand-off
spacers may result in a re hazard.
Remove the 2 screws near each of the rear
top corners of the appliance and the 2 screws
near the rear top of each side.
Bend the spacers as shown.
Screw the spacers to the rear of the appliance
using the screws just removed.
Bend the side wings of the spacers to align
the 2 holes in each spacer with those in the
appliance sides. Secure the spacers using the
screws just removed.

Note: There are
alternate methods
of nishing around
the framing
plate—either
leaving it exposed
or recessing it and
covering it up with
the wall nish. See
page 4.
Install plinth and rear base support below
rebox (optional).
The purpose of the plinth is to allow the
appliance to be placed on a rough suboor,
such as plywood, without regard for the
additional thickness of oor nishes as the
appliance bottom must otherwise be placed at
the nished hearth height or the front trims will
not t on the appliance properly.

CLEANING
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically.
During startup, condensation, which is normal, forms
on the inside of the glass and causes dust, lint or other
particles to cling to the glass surface.
Initially, paint, while curing, may deposit a slight lm on
the glass. We therefore recommend that, during the rst
few weeks of use, the glass be cleaned 2 or 3 times with
non-abrasive common household cleaners and warm
water.
Ammonia based cleaners should not be used.
Subsequently the glass should be cleaned 2 or 3 times a
season depending on the circumstances.
Do not clean the glass while it is hot.
Dust can be brushed from the ceramic fuel effects and
rebox walls after removing the front unit and opening
the window.
Removing the front unit
Remove cast top place aside, unhook the cast front.
Lift it up by holding the decorative grille. DO NOT lift by
holding the top.
Opening the window
Always securely replace the window before
lighting.
The inside of the window can be cleaned by pulling
forward and rotating the 2 clamping bars at the top
corners of the window and swinging the window part way
down as shown.
! Be careful not to distort or damage the spring-
loaded bolts—don’t swing the window down more
than is necessary!
To completely remove the window, also unscrew the
2 spring-loaded bolts at the bottom of the window as
shown.
After retting the window, apply light hand pressure
against the window frame sides to bed-in the window
seal.
Dust can also be removed from the burner using a soft
brush after removing the ceramic fuel effects.
When cleaning, make sure that no particles are
brushed into the slots of the burner.
Always completely remove the window before
removing the ceramic fuel effects.
