Operation

This firebox is designed to accept all gas log heaters listed in Table 1, page 2. It requires no outside venting or chimney making installation easy and inexpensive. When used without the blower (model FB32C only), the firebox requires no electricity making it ideal for emergency back-up heat.

Blower Accessory

The FB32C firebox will accept the GA3500A accessory. The variable blower allows you to select the fan speed you desire. The blower circulates heated air from the firebox into the room. Use of blower is optional.

Planning

Plan where you will install the firebox. This will save time and money later when you install the firebox. Before installation, consider the following:

1.Where the firebox will be located. Allow for wall and ceiling clearances (see Installation Clearances, page 10).

2.Everything needed to complete installation.

3.These models CANNOT be installed in a bedroom or bathroom.

4.Proper air for combustion and ventilation (see below).

WARNING

WARNING ICON

G 001

This firebox shall not be installed in a confined space unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, fireboxs, clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
