Owner's Information

Thank You ...
For purchasing a Valor by Miles Industries. Your new
radiant gas heater is a technical appliance that must
be installed by a qualifi ed dealer. Each Valor fi replace
is fully tested during the production process for your
safety and comfort.
Your unit has been professionally installed by:
Dealer Name: ________________________________
Phone Number :_______________________________
Should you encounter an operational problem, call
your dealer immediately.
Do not try to repair the unit as you may cause an
injury or damage the fi replace.
This manual and particularly the preceding
and following pages contain very important
information regarding the safe operation of your
fi replace as well as maintenance instructions.
Read carefully BEFORE operating your fi replace
and pay special attention to the SAFETY
WARNINGS.
A heating gas appliance does require safe handling
and for this reason, we very strongly recommend that
no children be allowed to touch the fi replace and its
controls at all times. Do install a screen or barrier
in front of the fi replace to protect your children
against severe burns.

Operating Your Fireplace for the First Time

When operating your new fi replace for the fi rst 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 fl ames to be the full height of the fi rebox, or
even slightly higher, for the fi rst 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 fl ames will be at their normal height.
Flame Supervision Device
For your safety, this appliance is fi tted with a fl ame
supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot fl ame goes out. This device
incorporates a fi xed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot fl ame. If the probe is cool, the device will
prevent any gas fl ow unless manually lighting the pilot.
See full lighting instructions on page 16 of this manual.
