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.

CATALYTIC TECHNOLOGY

This fireplace incorporates a catalytic system. It features a unique steel spiral coil filter with a precious metal coating which lowers combustion by-products by reburning them.

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 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.

BLOWER ASSEMBLY

(GA3700 and GA3700T Series)

This fireplace accepts an optional blower assembly. The GA3700T series blower operates thermostatically and features variable speed control. The GA3700 series blower also features variable speed control. The blower circulates heated air from the fireplace into the room. Use of blower is optional. See Accessories, pages 22 and 23.

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.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1, 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 exposed to the

outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10 per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed

b. weather stripping has been

added on openable windows 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 for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

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

From Outdoors

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

Confined Space and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code ANS Z223.1

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.

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

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

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR FIREPLACE 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 fireplace 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:

If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.

2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.

_________________ (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = (Maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

Example:

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space. Vent-free fireplace ___________________ Btu/Hr Gas water heater* ___________________ Btu/Hr Gas furnace ___________________ Btu/Hr Vented gas heater ___________________ Btu/Hr Gas fireplace logs ___________________ Btu/Hr Other gas appliances* + ___________________ Btu/Hr Total = ___________________ Btu/Hr * 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:

The space in the above example 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 work sheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoin-

ing room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air from Inside Building, page 6.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air from Outdoors, page 6. C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room unconfined.

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.

Space size 22 ft. (length) x 18 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space)

3168 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 63.3 or 63,300 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

Example:

Gas water heater Vent-free fireplace + Total =

63,300 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)

70,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)

40,000 30,000 70,000

Btu/Hr Btu/Hr Btu/Hr

WARNING: If the area in which the heater 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
