Owner's Information - Valor VENTANA 1200EAN Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

WARNING: Your fireplace becomes very hot
when operating. Avoid placing decorating objects
sensitive to heat within 36 inches (0.9 m) around it.
Performance of LPG appliances may be affected by
the quality of commercial gas supplied in your area.
Operating Your Fireplace
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flame
supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot flame goes out. This device
incorporates a fixed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot flame. If the probe is cool, the device will
prevent any gas flow unless manually lighting the pilot.
See full lighting instructions on page 39 of this manual.
Cleaning
Important - Glass cleaning - Mineral deposits
One of the by-products of the combustion process in a
gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a white
film on the ceramic glass of the viewing door.
The composition of the deposit varies widely from various
locations and also from time to time in the same location.
It seems this is associated with the varying sulfur content
of the gas. You may have the problem for a time and then
not see it for many months when it will reappear in your
area.
We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass
manufacturers and they cannot give us a definitive
answer to this problem. Dealers have tried various
cleaning products with varying results. The following
recommendations will not guarantee results in your
particular case.
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Miles Industries'
control and is not covered under warranty.
1. Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice the
buildup (white film). If the film is left for a longer period
of time, it will bake on. It is then much harder, if not
impossible, to remove.
2. NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic glass.
Any abrasion of the surface has the immediate effect
of compromising the strength of the glass. An emulsion
type cleaner is recommended.
3. Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the
glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most
paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to
ceramic glass and should be avoided.
4. Our dealers have had good results from the products
listed below. We cannot, however, guarantee the
results of these products.

Do not clean the glass while it is hot. Always securely
replace the window before lighting. If broken, the
glass pane may only be replaced as a complete
window unit as supplied by the manufacturer.
To remove the window for cleaning, locate the levers
on each side of the window towards the top of the
unit. Using your finger, pull the lever towards you and
unhook it from the window frame bracket. Gently pull
the top of the window outward. Lift the window out of
its bottom railing and set aside in a safe place to avoid
damage—see page 24.
Spring Loaded
Window Levers
To refit the window, place it in its bottom railing, push
its top against the firebox and, while holding it in place,
pull the side levers back into the window brackets.
Then, pull out the top of the window and release it to
insure the springs return it. Finally, apply light hand
pressure against the window frame sides to bed-in the
window seal—see page 29.
Soot or dust can be brushed from the ceramic logs
and firebox walls using a soft brush. Dust can also
be removed from the burner using a soft brush after
removing the ceramic logs. When cleaning, make
sure that no particles are brushed into the slots of the
burner.
