PRODUCT FEATURES

OPERATION

This vent-free fireplace is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or up a chimney. Heat is generated by both realistic flames and glowing embers. When used without the blower, the fireplace requires no electricity making it ideal for emergency backup heat.

SAFETY DEVICE

This fireplace has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent- free room heaters. The ODS/pilot system shuts off the fireplace if there is not enough fresh air.

BLOWER ASSEMBLY (VSGF28PTC)

This fireplace has a blower assembly. The blower operates thermostatically and has a variable speed control. The blower circulates heated air from the fireplace into the room. Use of blower is optional. Optional blower accessories are available for model VSGF28PVA.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL (VSGF28PTC)

This fireplace has a thermostat sensing bulb and a control valve. The thermostat controls the heat output and flame height. This maintains a consistent room temperature. Even the lowest setting provides realistic flames and glowing embers from two burners. Selecting higher comfort settings allows fireplace to run longer, producing greater heat output. At lower comfort settings, the fireplace will run less. This results in increased heating comfort. This can also result in lower gas bills.

VARIABLE MANUAL CONTROL (VSGF28PVA)

This fireplace has a variable manual control valve which allows the user to choose the heat setting that best suits his needs. Any setting between low and high may be selected by simply turning the control knob.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction un- less provisions are provided for adequate combus- tion and ventilation air. Read the following instruc- tions 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 mate- rials, 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, fireplaces, 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.
