Valor H3 1000JN, Homeowner'S Manual

6

A heating gas appliance does require safe handling. For this reason, we very strongly recommend children not be 

allowed to touch the 

fi

 replace or its controls. 

Read and carefully follow all safety warnings and operating instructions contained in this manual, and follow 

these important child safety precautions and recommendations: 

• Parts of your Valor Fireplace become extremely 

hot while in operation. The glass viewing window 

temperature can exceed 500º F at full capacity.

• Do not let children touch the glass or any parts 

of your 

fi

 replace even after it is turned o

ff

 , as the 

surfaces will remain hot for some time.

• Momentary contact with a hot glass surface can 

cause a severe burn, even if the 

fi

 replace is operat-

ing at reduced heating capacity.

• The glass window will remain hot for an extended 

period of time after the 

fi

 replace has been turned 

o

ff

 . Make sure that children are prevented from 

touching the 

fi

 replace during the cool down pe-

riod.

• Children and adults should be alerted to the haz-

ards of high surface temperature and should stay 

away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

• Toddlers and young children must be closely 

supervised at all times when they are in the same 

room as the operating 

fi

 replace. They lack full 

awareness of danger and rely on your protection. 

Toddlers, in particular, do not have the motor skills 

and response re

fl

 exes to withdraw in the event of 

accidental contact with a hot surface.

• A physical barrier is strongly recommended if 

there are young children, or at-risk individuals in 

the house. Install an approved after-market safety 

gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at-

risk individuals a safe distance from the 

fi

 replace.

• Keep the remote control handset out of reach of 

children at all times. A wall mount storage support 

is provided with your remote control handset.

• Make sure that the 

fi

 replace, including the pilot 

light, is completely turned o

ff

  when children are 

present and close supervision and safety barri-

ers are not available—see pages 9 and 10 of this 

manual.

• If the 

fi

 replace is not going to be used for the 

summer or any extended period of time, remove 

the batteries from the remote control handset 

and battery holder under the 

fi

 rebox. It is recom-

mended that batteries are replaced annually in 

any event—see page 11.
