• ANY CHANGES TO THIS APPLIANCE OR ITS CONTROLS CAN BE DANGEROUS AND IS PROHIBITED.

• Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified.

• Do not operate appliance before reading and understanding operating instructions. Failure to operate appliance according to operating instructions could cause fire or injury.

• Risk of burns. The appliance should be turned off and cooled before servicing.

• Do not install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.

• Risk of cuts and abrasions. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal edges may be sharp.

• Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Provide adequate clearance for servicing and operating this appliance. Never obstruct the front opening of the appliance.

• If the appliance shuts off, do not re-light until you provide fresh air. If the appliance keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner and control compartment clean.

• Do not burn wood or other materials in this appliance.

• Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers, young children and others may be susceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recommended if there are at risk individuals in the house. To restrict access to an appliance, install an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.

• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

• Ensure you have incorporated adequate safety measures to protect infants/toddlers from touching hot surfaces.

• Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the appliance.

• Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety screens and hearth guards to protect children from hot surfaces. These screens and guards must be fastened to the floor.

• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

• It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and circulating blower and its passageway in the appliance are kept clean. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding, material, etc. The appliance area must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.

• Furniture or other objects must be kept a minimum 4 feet away from the front of the appliance.

• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

• Do not allow fans to blow directly into the appliance. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns.

• Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or any other accessory not approved for use with this appliance.

• Carbon or soot should not occur in a vent free appliance as it can distribute into the living area of your home. If you notice any signs of carbon or soot, immediately turn off your appliance and arrange to have it serviced by a qualified technician before operating it again.

• Keep the packaging material out of reach of children and dispose of the material in a safe manner. As with all plastic bags, these are not toys and should be kept away from children and infants.

• As with any combustion appliance, we recommend having your appliance regularly inspected and serviced as well as having a Carbon Monoxide Detector installed in the same area to defend you and your family against Carbon Monoxide.

• The gas log appliance must be secured to the appliance floor to ensure that the position is not changed while adjusting the controls.

• Sooting and an improper burn may result from shifting of the gas logs by moving the appliance. A gas leak could be caused by moving the appliance.

• If you are installing the appliance into a sunken application, you must raise the appliance floor to allow access to the gas log controls. Raising the floor ensures adequate air flow and guards against sooting. The appliance floor must be raised using noncombustible materials.

• This appliance is for installation only in a solid-fuel burning masonry or UL 127 factory-built appliance or in a listed ventless firebox enclosure. It has been design certified for these installations. Exception: DO NOT install this appliance in a factory-built appliance that includes instructions stating it has not been tested or should not be used with unvented gas logs.

• This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases.

• A appliance screen must be in place when the appliance is operating and, unless other provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an opening for introduction of combustion air.

• State or local codes may only allow operation of this appliance in a vented configuration. Check your state or local

codes.

3.0INSTALLATION

3.1INSTALLING IN AN UNVENTED APPLICATION

! WARNING

BARRIERS SUCH AS THE BOTTOM OF A GLASS DOOR FRAME PLACED IN FRONT OF A GAS LOG SET CAN CHANGE THE AIR FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF THE APPLIANCE WHICH IN TURN CAN CAUSE THE APPLIANCE TO CARBON OR OVERHEAT AND MALFUNCTION.

During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding agents.

These materials may produce smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance; possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence. Simply open a window to ventilate the room during the burn off period.

3.1.1 COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR PROVISIONS

This appliance shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.

Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors are considered a part of the unconfined space.

17.1A

The GVFL 18/24/30 are all rated at 40,000 BTUs per hour and therefore requires a minimum unconfined space of 2,000 cubic feet.

3.1.2 DETERMINING CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE

This appliance shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by the method described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes.

To determine the volume of the room where the appliance is to be installed, multiply the width x the length x the ceiling height of that room measured in feet. If any adjoining rooms are connected by grilles or openings such as kitchen pass-throughs, etc., the volume of those rooms may be added to the total.

Multiply the room volume by 1000 and divide this amount by 50 to determine the maximum BTU/hr that the space can support with adequate combustion and ventilation air.

Add the Btu/hr of all fuel burning appliances located within the space such as gas furnace, gas water appliance, etc. Do not include direct vent gas appliances which draw their input and output air from and to the outdoors.

! WARNING

IF THE AREA IN WHICH THE APPLIANCE MAY BE OPERATED IS SMALLER THAN THAT DEFINED AS AN UNCONFINED SPACE OR IF THE BUILDING IS OF UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION, PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR BY ONE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 , AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION, OR THE APPLICABLE LOCAL CODE.

IF THE AREA IN WHICH THE APPLIANCE MAY BE OPERATED DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIRED VOLUME FOR INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR, COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR SHALL BE PROVIDED BY ONE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN THE ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54, THE INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, OR APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES.
