Valor VENTANA 1200EAN Installation & Operating Instructions Manual page 2

CAUTION—HOT! HOT! HOT!
This appliance is a HEATING appliance and it becomes very hot when in operation.
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DO NOT PLACE any object, furniture, draperies or other
item LESS THAN 36 inches (0.9 m) IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE.
CHILDREN and PETS
Radiant heat can heat surfaces such as the hearth in front of the fireplace to temperatures
that, although approved safe, can be quite uncomfortable to touch or step on—particularly
for children and pets. Children and pets should always be supervised when in the room
where the appliance is located. Remote control handset should be kept out of reach of
children. In the presence of children, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you install in front
of the fireplace: a fire screen, doors or, to protect young toddlers, a "hearth gate"—see
Options on page 41.
HOT SURFACES
Be aware that, although safe, some combustible materials and finishes, even though
installed at listed clearances may, over time, discolor, warp or show cracks. The 1200DV
requires the installation of the cement board provided with the engine.
Convective heat will exit the unit and travel up the wall surface if not impeded. Protruding
mantels and projections can help direct the heat away from the wall. AVOID PLACING heat
sensitive items such as televisions, paintings, decorations, etc. above fireplaces or near the
edge of protrusions unless appropriate.
