a. walls and ceilings exposed to the
outside atmosphere have a con-
tinuous water vapor retarder with
a rating of one perm (6 x 10-11 kg
per pa-sec-m2) or less with open-
ings gasketed or sealed and
b. weather stripping has been

c. caulking or sealants are applied
to areas such as joints around
window and door frames, be-
tween sole plates and floors, be-
tween wall-ceiling joints, be-
tween wall panels, at penetra-
tions for plumbing, electrical, and
gas lines, and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three
criteria above, you must provide ad-
ditional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
From Outdoors, page 6.
OPERATION
This vent-free fireplace is clean burning. It
requiresnooutsideventing. Thereisnoheat
loss out a vent or up a chimney. Heat is
generatedbybothrealisticflamesandglow-

structions to insure proper fresh
air for this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.
SAFETY DEVICE
This fireplace has a pilot with an Oxygen
Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff sys-
tem. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for

want their homes as airtight as possible.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This fireplace has a piezo ignitor. This sys-
tem requires no matches, batteries, or other
sources to light fireplace.
While it is good to make your home energy
efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning
appliances need fresh air for proper com-
bustion and ventilation.
If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to Deter-
mining Fresh-Air Flow for Fireplace
Location on page 5.
BLOWER ASSEMBLY
(VSGF28NTC)
This fireplace has a blower assembly. The
blower operates thermostatically and has a
variable speed control. The blower circu-
lates heated air from the fireplace into the
room. Use of blower is optional. Optional
blower accessories are available for model
VSGF28NVA.
Confined Space and Unconfined
Space
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.
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 aggre-
gate 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 installed in that space. Rooms
communicating directly with the space in
whichtheappliancesareinstalled*,through
openings not furnished with doors, are con-
sidered a part of the unconfined space.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL
(VSGF28NTC)
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National
Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1, Sec-
tion5.3, AirforCombustionandVentilation.
This fireplace has a thermostat sensing bulb
and a control valve. The thermostat controls
the heat output and flame height. This main-
tains a consistent room temperature. Even the
lowest setting provides realistic flames and
glowing embers from two burners. Selecting
highercomfortsettingsallowsfireplacetorun
longer,producinggreaterheatoutput.Atlower
comfort settings, the fireplace will run less.
Thisresultsinincreasedheatingcomfort.This
can also result in lower gas bills.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three
following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
This heater shall not be installed in a con-
fined space or unusually tight construction
unless provisions are provided for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 4 through 6 will
help you classify your space and provide
adequate ventilation.
VARIABLE MANUAL
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only
iftherearedoorlesspassagewaysorventila-
tion grills between them.
CONTROL (VSGF28NVA)
Unusually Tight Construction
This fireplace has a variable manual control
valve which allows the user to choose the
heat setting that best suits his needs. Any
setting between low and high may be se-
lected by simply turning the control knob.
The air that leaks around doors and win-
dows may provide enough fresh air for
combustion and ventilation. However, in
buildings of unusually tight construction,
you must provide additional fresh air.

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.

* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
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)
68,000 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 can support.
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.

INSTALLATION
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 17.
Locate sediment trap where it is within
reach for cleaning. Install in piping system
between fuel supply and fireplace. Locate
sediment trap where trapped matter is not
likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps mois-
ture and contaminants. This keeps them
from going into fireplace gas controls. If
sediment trap is not installed or is installed
wrong, fireplace may not run properly.
(see Figure 19). Check connection of
flexible gas line attached to gas regu-
lator of fireplace (see Figure 19).
Continued
Installation must include an equipment
shutoff valve, and a plugged 1/8" NPT tap.
Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge
hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from
fireplace (see Figure 17).
5. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections, page 12.
6. Replace log base assembly back into
fireplace. Feed flexible gas line into fire-
place base area while replacing log base
assembly. Make sure the entire flexible
gas line is in fireplace base area. Reat-
tach log base assembly to fireplace with
screws removed in step 2.
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff
valve in an accessible location. The equip-
ment shutoff valve is for turning on or
shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Figure 31 shows a correct pilot flame pat-
tern. Figure 32 shows an incorrect pilot
flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is
not touching the thermocouple. This will
cause the thermocouple to cool. When the
thermocouple cools, the fireplace will shut
down.

Note for GA3700TA: If you are using
GA3700TA blower, your gas fireplace
and blower will not turn on and off at the
same time. The fireplace may run for
several minutes before the blower turns
on. After the heater modulates to the
pilot position, the blower will continue to
run. The blower will shut off after the
firebox temperature decreases.
