INSTALLATION
Continued
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.
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.
NOTICE: A qualified service per-
son must install fireplace. Follow
all local codes.
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
Note:
Your Comfort Glow fireplace is de-
signed to be used in zero clearance installa-
tions. Wall or framing material can be placed
directly against any exterior surface on the
rear, sides, or top of your fireplace, except
where stand-off spacers are integrally at-
tached. If stand-off spacers are attached to
your fireplace, these spacers can be placed
directly against wall or framing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough open-
ings to create the easiest installation (see
Built-In Fireplace Installation, page 13).
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only propane gas. If your gas supply is
not propane gas, do not install fireplace.
Call dealer where you bought fireplace for
proper type fireplace.
ELECTRICAL HOOKUP
(When Using Optional
Blower)
The optional blower accessories (GA3650T
and GA3750) have a power cord 5 feet in
length. You must locate the fireplace within
reach of a 120 volt grounded electrical out-
let, or install an electrical outlet within reach
of the blower power cord. For built-in in-
stallation, an outlet accessory (GA3555) is
available (see Accessories, page 32). This
allows the outlet to be installed inside the
firebox. All electrical installations should
be performed by a qualified service person.
