PRODUCT
FEATURES
OPERATION
This firebox is designed for use with ap-
proved ANS Z21.11.2 decorative type
unvented room heaters. (Physical size limi-
tations apply. Refer to minimum firebox
requirements supplied with log heater.) It
requires no outside venting or chimney mak-
ing installation easy and inexpensive. When
used without the blower (models FB36CB,
NLFB36C or FB42CA only), the firebox
requires no electricity making it ideal for
emergency back-up heat.
BLOWER ACCESSORY
The FB36NCA, NLFB36C, or FB42CA
fireboxes will accept the GA3700 acces-
sory. 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
Your firebox may feature 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 perfor-
mance of the fireplace or vent-free gas logs.
