PRODUCT |
Operation |
||
This vent-free fireplace is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is no heat loss out |
|||
FEATURES |
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 |
|||
|
|||
|
back-up heat. |
||
|
Safety Device |
||
|
This fireplace has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensor Shutoff System (ODS). 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 (VSGF28PTB/CSGF28PTB) |
||
|
This fireplace has a blower assembly. The blower operates thermostatically. The blower circu- |
||
|
lates heated air from the fireplace into the room. Use of blower is optional. An optional blower |
||
|
accessory is available for models VSGF28PV/ CSGF28PV. |
||
|
Thermostat Control Models (VSGF28PTB/CSGF28PTB) |
||
|
These fireplaces have 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 (VSGF28PV/CSGF28PV) |
||
|
These fireplaces have 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 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 is exerpts from National Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANSI 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 Contruction; 2. Unconfined Space; 3. Confined Space.
The information on pages 6 through 8 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 or less with openings gasketed or sealed and
b.weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors and
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 Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.
If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to page 7.
Confined Space and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSIZ2123.1, 1992 Section 5.3) 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 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: Space size 22 ft. (length) x 18 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) =
3168 cu. ft. (volume of space)
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: 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 63.3 or 63,300 (maximum 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.

Example: 63,300 |
Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support) |
68,000 |
Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used) |
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 adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air from Inside Building, page 8.
B.Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air from Outdoors, page 8.
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.
