PRODUCT FEATURES

OPERATION

This firebox is designed for use with approved 

ANS Z21.11.2 decorative type unvented 

room  appliances.  (Physical  size  limitations 

apply. Refer to minimum firebox requirements 

supplied  with  log  appliance.)  It  requires  no 

outside venting or chimney making installation 

easy  and  inexpensive.  When  used  without 

the blower, the firebox requires no electricity 

making it ideal for emergency backup heat.

BLOWER ACCESSORY

This  firebox  will  accept  the  GA3750A  ac

-

cessory. The  variable  blower  allows  you  to 

select the fan speed you desire. The blower 

circulates heated air from the firebox into the 

room. Use of blower is optional.

BRICK LINER

This firebox features a concrete brick liner. As 

with all concrete liners, this liner may develop 

slight cracks when exposed to heat. These 

cracks will not affect the performance of the 

firebox or vent-free gas logs.

HEAT DEFLECTIVE HOOD

Two  (2)    black  painted  steel  hoods  come 

standard with the unit, which 

must

 be installed 

for a safe operation.
