Gas Supply
Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas connection to this appliance.
You are now ready to hook up the gas supply. Be sure that gas plumbing instructions and all provincial and local
codes are carefully followed. Use approved flexible gas connections or rigid piping, depending on provincial
and local codes, to attach burner to gas supply. Be sure to use proper size gas supply line. Carefully check all
connections for gas leaks with soap and water solution.
Each installation must conform to all local, provincial and national codes. Refer to the national fuel gas code, local
zoning and code authorities for details on installation requirements.
11.1 Existing Gas Supply
Before interrupting the existing gas supply it is recommended that the following be checked:
• Shut down all gas appliances and carry out a pressure test to insure there are no existing leaks on the system.
• Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double-check that the appliance you have purchased is designed
for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located on the certification label and also on the appliance’s gas
valve.
• Check the gas pressure to insure you will be able to supply the minimum inlet pressure for the appliance.
• Check your pipe sizing to insure that sufficient volume will be supplied to the appliance.
11.2 Gas Supply Installation
• Provide adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections.
• Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the gas fireplace. The line must be properly sized
and fitted according to the installation codes. Upstream of the appliance supply connection, the fitter shall provide an easily
accessible manual shut-off valve.
• 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.
• 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.
11.3 Pressure Testing the Supply Line for Leaks
• 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 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
• 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 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Failure to do
so will damage the appliance’s gas valve. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
• When testing for leaks:
• Make sure that the appliance is turned off.
• Open the manual shut-off valve.
• 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.
• Correct any leak detected immediately.
• The pressure test tapping locations are shown in the diagram to the right.
• A built-in non-adjustable regulator controls the burner manifold pressure. The
correct pressure range is shown in the Specifications section of this manual.
The pressure check should be made with the burner lit. See the lighting
instructions section for full operating details.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE TAP SET-SCREW AFTER CHECKING THE PRESSURE.
CHECK ALL GAS CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS.

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.
Evaluate the aeration only after the unit has
warmed-up—approximately 15 minutes.
Increasing aeration will cause the flames 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.

Final Checks
We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass
17.1 Final Check
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.
INSTALLER: Before leaving the appliance with the
customer, you must check the operation of the
appliance.
• Check correct rating by clocking the appliance at
15 minutes (see label).
• Check flame picture. Adjust primary air if
required.
• Take time to explain to the customer how to
operate the unit.
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.
NOTE: When first fired, the unit will produce an odor.
This is normal and is part of the paint curing process.
This will be noticeable for at least 4 hours. During the
first hour smoke detectors in the house may be set
off. It is recommended that you open a few windows
to ventilate the room.
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.
• Following the initial burn-in period, the glass panel
may require cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not clean the glass when the
appliance is hot!
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.
• When the appliance is cold when fired, the glass may
fog up. This is due to condensation and it is normal.
• Make yourself familiar with these instructions before
operating the appliance.
• Check any loose electrical wires that may cause a
shock.
4. Our dealers have had good results from the
products listed below. We cannot, however,
guarantee the results of these products.
• BRASSO
• POLISH PLUS by KEL KEM
• COOK TOP CLEAN CREME by ELCO
• WHITE OFF by RUTLAND
• Check around the appliance for gas leaks. IF YOU
SMELL GAS, follow the instructions on the front
cover of this manual.
• Check to see that the logs are correctly positioned.
The pilot light should be visible.
• Check to make sure that the venting is secure.
• Check that all external parts, such as grills, doors
and control cover are properly attached and
fastened.
17.3 Operating Your Fire
The operating instructions are also on a plate located
under the unit’s inner firebox.
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 the burner control knob is
kept pushed-in at the PILOT position. See full lighting
instructions.
CAUTION: Do not turn the unit off and on
again without a minimum of a 5 minute wait.
17.2 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.
When first turned on, the decorative flames will appear
predominantly blue. After approximately 15 minutes
the flames will turn yellow.

Maintenance
Warning : Use only genuine Valor parts, do not use substitute materials.
20.1 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
be cleaned two or three times with non-abrasive common household cleaners such as dish soap 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.
20.2 To Clean the Inside of the Glass
Warning : Do not clean the appliance when
hot!!
• Standard front: Lift up, unhook and remove completely.
• Cast iron fronts: Lift up and unhook the upper casting and
lower casting.
If you have difficulties removing either front please refer to
section 16.
Spring-loaded bolts
• Remove the bottom center spring-loaded bolt. Turn the 5
remaining spring-loaded bolts 90 degrees to release the
Removable bolt
window from the firebox.
• Carefully lift the window away and put aside in a safe location
to avoid damage.
• Replacement: To reinstall, follow the instructions given in the
section Window Refitting on page 21.
• Always securely fasten the window before lighting.
Spring-loaded bolts
20.3 To Clean the Ceramic Fuel Effects, Firebox
Walls & Burner

Maintenance
20.4 Checks
Performance of LPG appliances may be affected by the quality of commercial
gas supplied in your area.
1. 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.

Flame picture
2. The appliance area must always be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
3. Inspect the vent terminal outdoors regularly to make sure that dirt, snow, insects, leaves and trees or
other object do not obstruct it.
4. Examine the whole vent system regularly using a qualified agency. We recommend an annual inspection.
20.5 General Servicing
If your appliance requires any servicing, contact your supplier quoting the model number. It will be helpful if
the appliance’s serial number can also be quoted. The serial number is on the rating plate, which is located
under the firebox, and is accessible by opening the bottom access panel of the front.
The repair parts are shown in the separate repair parts leaflet. Please always quote the part number and
description when requesting a spare part.
