bustion and ventilation.  
Exhaustfans, fireplaces, clothesdryers, and  
fuel burning appliances draw air from the  
house to operate. You must provide ad-  
equate fresh air for these appliances. This  
will insure proper venting of vented fuel-  
burning appliances.  
BLOWER ASSEMBLY

Confined Space and Unconfined  
Space  
This fireplace accepts an optional blower  
assembly.TheGA3750blowerhasamanual  
variable control. The GA3650T blower op-  
erates thermostatically. The blower circu-  
lates heated air from the fireplace into the  
room. Use of blower is optional. See Acces-  
sories, page 34.  
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1  
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 in-  
stalled in that space. Rooms communicating  
directly with the space in which the appli-  
ances are installed*, through openings not  
furnishedwithdoors, areconsideredapartof  
the unconfined space.  
PROVIDING ADEQUATE  
VENTILATION  
The following are excerpts from National  
Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1, Sec-  
tion5.3, AirforCombustionandVentilation.  
WIRELESS REMOTE  
CONTROL  
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three  
following ventilation classifications:  
This fireplace features an infra-red wireless  
remote control. This control system can be  
used to automatically light the pilot and  
adjust the burner flame height at the push of  
a button.  
1. Unusually Tight Construction  
2. Unconfined Space  
3. Confined Space  
The information on pages 4 through 6 will  
help you classify your space and provide  
adequate ventilation.  
WIRED WALL-MOUNTED  
REMOTE CONTROL  
This heater shall not be installed in a con-  
fined space of unusually tight construction  
unless provisions are provided for adequate  
combustion and ventilation air.  
This fireplace features a two-button wall  
switch and wall plate with glowing LED’s.  
The wall switch performs the same func-  
tions as the wireless hand-held remote con-  
trol with the added feature of LED’s for  
visual feedback of operation and status.

DETERMINING FRESH-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.

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.  
_____________ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)  
_____________ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)  
Example: 63,300 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)  
73,000 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 cansupport.  
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 adjoin-  
ing room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air from Inside Building, page 6.  
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air from Outdoors, page 6.  
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.  
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space  
or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of  
the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.

For Recessed Installation  
If fireplace is to be recessed into a wall (see  
Built-In Fireplace Installation, pages 17  
and 18), we recommend mounting wall  
switch to left side of fireplace. The wall  
switch should be mounted approximately  
12" from left edge of fireplace, and less than  
60" from the floor. IMPORTANT: Do not  
locate wall switch directly in front of wall  
stud - there must be room behind wall board  
for wires from switch. If you choose to  
locate wall switch to right side of fireplace,  
the length of the cord restricts you to less  
than 6" from right edge of fireplace and less  
than 48" from floor.  
13. Using wall anchors supplied in hard-  
ware package, fold wall anchor as  
shown in Figure11.  
14. Insert wall anchor, wings first, into  
hole. Tap anchor flush to wall.  
6. Pull wall plate and cord from fireplace  
making sure wall switch/plate assem-  
bly will reach desired mounting loca-  
tion without straining cord assembly.  
15. For thin walls (1/2" or less), insert red  
key into wall anchor. Push red key to  
“pop” open anchor wings. See Figure  
14. IMPORTANT: Do not hammer  
key! For thick walls (over 1/2" thick),  
do not pop open wings.

(dime-sized or larger).  
1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot.Allow  
the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.  
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes  
with the heater running. All slotted burner  
flame holes should be open with yellow  
flame present. All round burner flame holes  
should be open with a small blue flame  
present. Some burner flame holes may be-  
come blocked by debris or rust, with no  
flame present. If so, turn off heater and let  
cool. Either remove blockage or replace  
burner. Blocked burner flame holes will  
create soot.

inlet holes on injector holder for dust  
and dirt (see Figure 55).
