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. When used without the blower, the fireplace requires no electricity making it ideal for emergency backup heat. This heater is designed for vent-free operation. It has been tested and approved to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard for unvented heaters. State and local codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free heaters.

SAFETY DEVICE

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

PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM

This fireplace has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no matches, batteries, or other sources to light fireplace.

OPTIONAL BLOWER ASSEMBLY (GA3700 SERIES & GA3700TA SERIES)

This fireplace accepts an optional blower assembly (not included). The GA3700TA Series blower operates thermostatically and features a variable speed control. The GA3700 Series blower operates manually and also features a variable speed control. The blower circulates heated air from the fireplace into the room. See Accesso- ries, page 30.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction 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, 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.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Providing Adequate Ventilation

Determining Fresh-Air Flow for Heater Location

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classifications:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconfined Space

3. Confined Space The information on pages 4 through 6 will help you classify your

space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:

a. walls and ceilings e xposed to the outside atmosphere

have a continuous water vapor retar der with a rating of one perm (6 x 10 openings gasketed or sealed

b. weather stripping has been added on openable win-

dows and doors

c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as

joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations f or plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must pro vide additional fresh air . See

Air From Outdoors

If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to

column 2.

Confined and Unconfined Space

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.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space. Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any adjoining

rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.

1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height). Length x Width x Height = ___________ cu. ft. (volume of space)

Example:

height) = 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or open-

ings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.

2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.

__________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maximum Btu/Hr the space

Example:

Btu/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.

__________________ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support) __________________ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)

Example:

Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Continued

The space in the example on page 5 is a confined space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:

A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the

extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See V entilation Air F rom

Inside Building. B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See V entilation Air F r om Outdoors. C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lo wer Btu/Hr size makes room unconf ined.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
