INSTALLATION

Continued

 CAUTION: This fireplace creates warm air cur-

rents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next
to fireplace. Installing fireplace next to vinyl or cloth
wall coverings or operating heater where impurities
(such as, but not limited to, tobacco smoke, aromatic
candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.)
in the air exist, may discolor walls or cause odors.

Note: 

Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero clearance

installations. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against
any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top of your  fireplace,
except where standoff spacers are integrally attached. If standoff
spacers are attached to your fireplace, these spacers can be placed
directly against wall or framing materials.

Use the dimensions shown for rough openings to create the easiest
installation (see Built-In Fireplace Installation, pages 9 and 10).

IMPORTANT:

 Vent-free heaters add moisture 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 Combustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.

IMPORTANT: 

Make sure the fireplace is level. If fireplace is not

level, log set will not work properly.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only natural gas. If your gas supply is not natural gas, do not
install fireplace. Call dealer where you bought fireplace for proper
type fireplace.

INSTALLING HOOD

ELECTRICAL HOOKUP

(Model VSGF28NTC or VSGF28NVA with GA3750
or GA3650T Series Blower)

This fireplace has a blower assembly with an electrical cord. The
electrical cord is five feet in length. You must locate fireplace within
reach of a 120 volt grounded electrical outlet. If not, you must install
an electrical outlet within reach of fireplace power cord. The
GA3555 outlet accessory may be used for built-in applications with
blower  installed. This same information applies if installing op-
tional blower accessories to Model VSGF28NVA.

ASSEMBLING AND ATTACHING OPTIONAL

 If you are recessing the firebox in a wall, do not

attach brass trim at this time. See page 9 for built-in fireplace
installation.
