OWNER’S MANUAL

INSTALLATION

WARNING: A qualified ser- vice person must install fireplace. Follow all local codes.

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.

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

WARNING: Model VSGF28NTC has a three-prong, grounded elec- trical plug. This plug helps pro- tect you against electrical shock. Only connect plug to a properly grounded, three-prong recep- tacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

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.

Note: Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero clearance installations. Wall or fram- ing material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top of your fireplace, except where standoff spacers are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to your fireplace, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing materials.

Use the dimensions shown for rough openings to create the easiest installation (see Built-In Fireplace Installation, pages 9 and 10).

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.

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.

WARNING: Never connect fireplace to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

ELECTRICAL HOOKUP

(Model VSGF28NTC or VSGF28NVA with GA3700(T) Series Blower)

This fireplace has a blower assembly with an electrical cord. The electrical cord is five feet in length. You must locate fireplace within reach of a 120 volt grounded electri- cal outlet. If not, you must install an electri- cal outlet within reach of fireplace power cord. The GA3555 outlet accessory may be used for built-in applications with blower installed. This same information applies if installing optional blower accessories to Model VSGF28NVA.
