Cleaning AROUND Your Fireplace
Your Valor outdoor gas fireplace will tolerate moderate
amounts of water
on an occasional basis
but is not
designed to be waterproof.
Ensure the fireplace is turned off - including pilot -
before performing any cleaning around it. Use plastic
sheeting to protect the fireplace front and trim from
direct spray while cleaning. Ensure all plastic is removed
before operating fireplace.
Exposure to outdoor UV light
Exposure to outdoor UV light will cause some plated
and painted finishes to fade over time. This fading is
unavoidable and not covered under warranty.
To minimize fading, locate the fireplace away from direct
sunlight. Decommissioning and covering the fireplace
over the off-season will also prolong the finish.
Decommission During Off-Season
We recommend decommissioning your outdoor
fireplace during the off-season when it will not be used
for an extended period. Decommission your fireplace
by removing the batteries from the battery holder and
turning the gas shut-off valve to the “off” position.
Upon ensuring the fireplace cannot be turned on you
can then apply a weather protective cover over the front
of the fireplace to help preserve the finish and further
protect the appliance from weather.
Note: Do not operate your outdoor fireplace during
cold weather below freezing point
(32°F, 0°C).
