Safety and Your Fireplace
Please 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 500 F
at full capacity.
Momentary contact
with a hot glass
surface can
cause
a severe burn
, even if the
fi
replace
is operating at reduced heating
capacity.
•
The glass window will remain hot
for an extended period of time after
the
fi
replace has been turned off.
Ensure that children are prevented
from touching the
fi
replace during the
cool down period.
•
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 holster
is provided with your remote control
handset.
•
Ensure that the fi replace, including
the pilot light, is completely turned
off
when children are present and
close supervision and safety barriers
are not available—see page 29 of
Owner’s Information
section.
•
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 receiver
. It is recommended that
batteries are replaced annually in any
event—see page 28.
Please Read and Carefully Follow all Safety Warnings and
Operating Instructions Contained in Your Owners Manual
(Replacement Manuals are available by contacting our service department at
