1. SAFETY INFORMATION
Keep curtains, clothing, furniture, and other
flammable materials a safe distance from all parts of
the appliance and its vent system.
WARNING: Do not operate the appliance with the
glass front removed, cracked, or broken. Replacement
of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified
service person.
(The whole window unit may be temporarily removed
by the owner for cleaning the interior of the firebox,
etc.)
Only the authorized Valor replacement window unit
listed in the repair parts booklet must be fitted - never
use substitutes.
If the glass is damaged, search inside and adjacent to
the appliance for any glass fragments.
Keep the appliance area well clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Never attempt to burn paper or any other material in
the appliance.
The venting terminal must not be recessed into a wall
or siding.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
The vent terminal on the outside wall must be kept
free from obstructions. No objects should be placed
within 2 feet (60cm) of the vent terminal. The terminal
is hot during operation and requires a guard if it is
accessible to any person. An approved Valor guard is
available from your dealer.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperatures and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition.
During extreme weather conditions ensure that the
vent outlet is free from ice and snow before attempting
to light.
Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room as the appliance.
Clothing or other flammable material should not be
placed on or near the appliance.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control, which has been
under water.
This appliance must be installed and repaired by a
qualified service person. The appliance should be
inspected before use and at least annually by a
professional service person. More frequent cleaning
may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control
compartments;
burners
and
circulating
air
passageways of the appliance are kept clean.
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 fireplace.
NOTE
When operating your new fireplace for the first 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 flames to be the full height of the
firebox, or even slightly higher, for the first 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. You may wish to open
windows into the room to reduce the vapor/odor build up. After a few hours use the vapors will have disappeared and the
flames will be at their normal height.
During the first hour of use, the ceramic firebox walls may go a smoky color. This is not soot. It is a temporary effect lasting
only while the ceramic material becomes stabilized. The walls will revert to their initial color after your fire has been used for
one or two hours.
State of California. Proposition 65 Warning. Fuels used in gas, wood-burning or oil fired appliances, and the
products of combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
and other reproductive harm. California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6.

7.6. Attaching Air Restrictors
There are two types of restrictor supplied with each
#535 engine unit. One type is for installations with
horizontal vent termination and the other is for
installations with through-the-roof termination.
Figure 19 identifies them.
The restrictors cover part of the openings in the
firebox rear wall ports – See figure 20.
To fit the restrictors, remove the center screws
from the rear ports and fit the restrictors using
these screws. To set the restrictors at maximum
port opening, slacken the bottom screws in the
ports, slide the restrictors down as far as possible
and tighten the screws over the restrictors.
To set the restrictors at minimum port opening,
Figure 19. Restrictor identification
slide the restrictors up as far as possible and tighten
the screws.
7.6.1.
Installations with Horizontal Termination
Do not fit restrictors if the vertical rise is less than 3ft.
Do not fit restrictors if the horizontal run is more than 4ft.
For installations with a horizontal run of 4ft or less and having a
vertical rise of 3ft or more fit the restrictors at maximum port opening
position. See Graph 2.
On models 535 the horizontal type restrictors are never set at any
position except maximum port opening.

8. INSTALLATIONS WITH HORIZONTAL TERMINATION – INSTALLING
TO WALL
Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing & Vapor Barriers
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 water 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 penetrating 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.
See section 4 for full range of horizontal termination applications.
8.1. Wall Opening
• Fit all the required pipes and elbows up to the wall to check the wall
opening position. See the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with
the sections.
• Make Wall Opening.
If the wall is constructed of solid non-combustible materials and has no
combustible surface cladding (including wood) inside or outside then
the wall plates or thimbles will not be required.
If the wall has combustible material, mark the wall for a 10”x10”
square. If the wall is totally non-combustible (e.g. masonry block or
concrete) mark for a 7” circular hole. In both cases, the center of the
hole should line up with the centerline of the horizontal vent. (see
figure 24)
8.2. Valor Terminal #551DVK - Preparing Wall Plates
The wall plates are not used for 7” hole in non-combustible walls.
1. Bend the wall shields and screw to the inside of the wall plates with
Figure 24
6 thread cutting screws per plate. See figure 22.
2. Bend the inner wall plate tab as shown in figure 23 so that the seam
on the terminal tube will pass
clearly through the plate with
the wall shield at the top. Place
the inner wall plate over the
terminal unit.
3. Slide the terminal into the wall.
Make sure that the drain hole is
at the bottom – the seam will be
through the notch in the wall
plates – See figure 24.
4. Slide the inner wall plate up to
the wall. Mark the four holes
for the wall screws. Slide the
plate away.
5. Drill and plug the wall.
6. Screw the plate to the wall with
Figure 23
4 screws provided.
Figure 22
7. Bend the outer wall plate tab as
shown in figure 23.
8. Place the outer wall plate over the terminal unit. Slide the wall plate up to the wall. Mark the four holes for the wall
screws. Slide the plate away.
9. Drill and plug the wall.
10. Screw the plate to the wall with 4 screws provided.
See figure 24.

9. INSTALLATIONS WITH THROUGH THE ROOF VERTICAL
TERMINATION
• Check the roof pitch to determine which roof flashing will be needed see vent accessories section 2.4.
• The distance from the roof to the lowest terminal discharge opening
(“H” in figure 25) depends on the roof pitch and must be in accordance
with the Dura-vent instructions supplied with the termination unit.
Note: The venting system for these appliances is considered to be a
Special Venting System. The rule in the Installation Code requiring a
minimum vent height of 2ft above any portion of a building within 10ft
does not therefore apply.
• The minimum clearances to combustible materials all round the vent
pipes must be in accordance with the dimensions shown in section 4 of
this manual.
• Drop a plumb from the ceiling to the center of the appliance vent
opening. Mark the position on the ceiling. Drill a small hole at the
marked position.
• Determine the position where the vent will pass through the roof. If
directly above the position where it penetrates the ceiling, drop a plumb
from the roof to the small hole in the ceiling and mark the roof at this
spot.
If rafters or other obstructions will prevent a vertical exit or if clear attic
space is desired, the roof outlet can be offset using 45º elbows - see fig.
25.
Drill a small hole at the marked position.
• A ceiling fire stop must be installed at the second floor and higher
floors.
A ceiling support should be used below the flat ceiling.
To install the fire stop & support cut and frame a 10” (254mm) square
hole centered on the small hole previously drilled - see fig. 26.
• Fit vent accessory elbows and pipe lengths as required up through
ceiling support boxes and fire stops.
If installation includes offset, support the offsetting pipes every 3 feet
(1m) with wall straps (fig. 25).
• Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small hole. The hole
must allow for the minimum clearances to combustible
materials - see section 4.
• Fit pipe lengths through the roof. Fit roof flashing
securing it with roofing nails.
• Fit storm collar and termination cap.

11. GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION & AERATION SETTING
11.1. Gas Supply Installation
• The gas supply pipe should enter the appliance case through the opening at the rear left side. The supply pipe should be
connected to the appliance gas inlet pipe situated at the left side of the control unit. Supply line connection to the inlet
pipe is 3/8”NPT.
If the circulating fan is to be installed, be aware that the supply pipe run inside the case should be at the same height
as the appliance inlet pipe in order to clear the fan. If intending to fit an internal isolating valve, check that it will be
clear of the fan.
• Use only new black iron or steel pipes or copper tubing if acceptable - check local codes. Note that in USA copper tubing
must be internally tinned for protection against sulfur compounds.
• Unions 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 LP 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-off valve to allow the appliance to be disconnected for servicing.
• A plugged 1/8”NPT tapping must be installed in the line. The tapping must be accessible for test gauge connection and be
immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the appliance.
• Pressure test the supply line for leaks.
f The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½psig (3.5kPa).
f 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 ½psig (3.5kPa).
f 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 in section 3 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:
f Make sure that the appliance is turned off.
f Open the manual shut-off valve.
f Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or soap
solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate a gas
leak. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
f Correct any leak detected immediately.
• The pressure test tapping locations are shown in figure 34. A
built-in non-adjustable regulator controls the burner
manifold pressure. The correct pressure range is shown in
the table in section 3 of this manual. The pressure check
should be made with the burner alight and the thermostat at
its highest setting. See lighting instruction section for full
Figure 34 Pressure test tappings
operating details.
11.2. AERATION SETTING CHECK
Aeration is factory set.
The setting is non-adjustable for LP appliances.
For natural gas appliances, the shutter is factory set at an aeration gap that
will give optimum performance for the vast majority of installations.
However, in a few unusual installations performance may be improved by
adjusting the aeration. The need for adjustment should be determined by
operating the appliance with the ceramic fuel effects and window installed.
See the “Final checks” section in this manual for adjustment details.
Adjust the aeration by slackening the aeration plate screw and sliding the
plate. In an extreme circumstance, the plate can be totally removed. See
figure 35.

13. WINDOW REFITTING & CHECKING
•
•
•
•
Refit the window with the bottom three bolts. The bolts should be screwed in securely.
Refit the chain to the top right corner of the window.
Refit the top three bolts securing by turning them through 90º.
Pull the top of the window forward and release to check that it opens slightly and
returns in the event of a delayed ignition explosion. See figure 44.
• Similarly check the bottom of the window by pulling it forward and releasing. See
figure 45.
Figure 45
14. OPERATION CHECKS
• Check ignition, pilot stability, burner flames, and the full range of the thermostat settings using the rotary switch inside
the appliance and all other controls (wall switch, remote hand unit). See owner’s lighting instructions further on in this
manual for full details.
• Aeration adjustment
As described in section 11, for natural gas appliances, the burner aeration is adjustable. For the vast majority of installations,
no adjustment will be necessary. However, in a very few instances, performance may be improved by sliding the shutter to
adjust the aeration by (See figure 35). Evaluate the aeration only after the unit has warmed up – approximately 15 minutes.
Increasing aeration will cause the flame to appear more transparent and blue making the ceramic fuel effects glow more.
Decreasing aeration will cause the flames to appear more yellow or orange making the fuel effects glow less. Too little
aeration may result in black carbon forming and dropping into the firebox.

16. OWNERS INFORMATION
Please read the safety information and notes on page 3.
16.1. Operating Your Fire
The operating instructions are also on a chained plate inside the control access door.
1. 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 flames go 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 the burner control knob is kept pushed in at the PILOT position.
See full lighting instructions on next page.
2. The Valorstat Programmable Remote Control
Your Valor Remote Control helps you get the comfort, convenience and aesthetics you want from your Valor Gas Fireplace.
The first thing to do is to set the time:
1. With your left thumb, hold down both the “AUTO” and the “TIMER” button until the temperature symbol flashes.
Let go.
2. Note the digital clock on the bottom right hand corner. The large “up” button (σ) sets the hour; the “down” (τ)
button sets the minutes. Set the time. Note: you must start setting the time while the temperature symbol is flashing.
If it stops flashing, go back to 1.
3. Let go and wait until the flashing stops. The remote tells you the time you set. It also tells you the current
temperature.
The “remote” controls your fireplace in three different ways.
Setting the Temperature
Use this setting when you come in and want to enjoy a certain temperature.
Here’s what you do:
1. Push the “AUTO” button until the temperature reading flashes. Let go.
2. While it is still flashing, push the up and down button to the temperature you want. Let it go.
3. Your Valor will reach that temperature and the remote will check the temperature every five minutes, adjusting the
amount of fuel needed to give you a steady, even heat.
Note: be patient with settings as it can take a few seconds.
Setting the Flame
Use this setting when you want a particular flame level. For instance, you want to watch flames burn at their highest level,
and you don’t mind if the room is too hot.
Here’s what you do:
1. Press either of the large “up” or “down” buttons.
2. The word “man” displays as well as an arrow in the left upper corner. Let go.
3. To raise the flame, press and hold the “up” button until you come to the flame level you want. Let go.
4. To lower the flame, press and hold the down button until you come to the flame you want. Let go.
5. The flame level will remain just as you set it.
Programming Time and Temperature
You can set your Valor to come on before you waken and turn after you leave home and turn on again just before you come
home and turn off after going to bed. You can leave it like this for the heating season.
Here’s what you do:
1. Decide what temperature you want your Valor to be at; also decide what time you want your Valor to turn on and
off; then decide what time you want it to come back on and off in the afternoon or evening. For the first few times
you set the timer, it’s handy to write these times down.
2. Set the temperature (just as you did in the section on “setting the temperature.”
3. Press the “timer” button and hold until “P1*” appears and flashes. Let go. While flashing, push the “up” button to
the hour you want your Valor to turn on in the morning and the “down” to the minute.
4. Press “timer” to P1 (moon) and proceed as in step 3, to turn off time.
5. Press “timer” again, and you get “P2*” to set the time to come back on in the afternoon. Set the time.
6. Press “timer” again to get P2 (moon) to set the time for your Valor to go off in the evening.
7. Do nothing else, and your Valor will give you steady, even heat at the temperatures and times you set.
8. Note: If you want to set your Valor for only 1 time on and off, set P2 for the same times as P1.
9. To temporarily override the timer setting, just press “auto” or “manual”. Press “timer” when you want to go back to
your settings.
When first turned on, the decorative flames will appear predominantly blue. After approximately 15 minutes the
flames will turn yellow.

16.2. 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 etc. to cling to the glass surface. Initially paint, while curing, may deposit a slight film on the glass.
We therefore recommend that, during the first few weeks of use, the glass is cleaned two or three times with non-abrasive
common household cleaners and warm water. Ammonia based cleaners should not be
used. Subsequently the glass should be cleaned two or three times a season depending
on the circumstances. Do not clean the glass while it is hot.
Always close the window securely before lighting
16.2.1. To Clean the Inside of the Glass

16.4. Checks
• A periodic check of the pilot and burner flames should be made. Check
after the fire has been on for at least 30 minutes. The pilot flame must cover
the tip of the thermocouple probe. The main burner flame pattern will vary
from appliance to appliance depending on the type of installation and climatic
conditions. See figures 63 & 64.
• The appliance area must always be kept clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Inspect the vent terminal outdoors regularly to make sure that dirt, snow,
insects, leaves etc, do not obstruct it.
• Examine the whole vent system regularly. We recommend annually.
16.5. Servicing
All appliances use four 1.5V AA batteries for thermostat control.
For Appliances with Wall switch only the batteries are
accessible by opening the bottom access panel.
For Appliances with Remote Control the batteries are accessible
by opening the bottom access panel and removing the lid of the
remote control receiver. The handset has a 9V battery.
