INSTALLATION

NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your pri- mary heating system. Do not in- stall this heater as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may run system’s circulating blower while using heater. This will help circu- late the heat throughout the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.

NOTICE: A qualified service per- son must install fireplace. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: Never install the fireplace

•in a bedroom or bathroom

•in a recreational vehicle

•where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are less than 42 inches from the front, top, or sides of the fireplace

•in high traffic areas

•in windy or drafty areas

CAUTION: This fireplace cre- ates warm air currents. These cur- rents move heat to wall surfaces next to fireplace. Installing fire- place next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating fireplace where impurities (such as to- bacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add mois- ture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing fireplace in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Com- bustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the fireplace is level. If fireplace is not level, log set will not work properly.

Note: Your Comfort Glow fireplace is de- signed to be used in zero clearance installa- tions. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top of your fireplace, except where stand-off spacers are integrally at- tached. If stand-off spacers are attached to your fireplace, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing materials.

Use the dimensions shown for rough open- ings to create the easiest installation (see Built-In Fireplace Installation, page 13).

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only natural gas. If your gas supply is not natural gas, do not install fireplace. Call dealer where you bought fireplace for proper type fireplace.

ELECTRICAL HOOKUP

(When Using Optional

Blower)

The optional blower accessories (GA3650T and GA3750) have a power cord 5 feet in length. You must locate the fireplace within reach of a 120 volt grounded electrical out- let, or install an electrical outlet within reach of the blower power cord. For built-in in- stallation, an outlet accessory (GA3555) is available (see Accessories, page 25). This allows the outlet to be installed inside the firebox. All electrical installations should be performed by a qualified service person.
