PRODUCT FEATURES
Operation
This Vent-free Gas Fireplace requires no outside venting or chimney making installation easy
and inexpensive. When used without the optional blower (model VF32B), the firebox
requires no electricity making it ideal for emergency backup heat.
Blower Accessory
The VFZC32 Vent-free Gas Fireplace will accept the VF32B Blower Kit accessory. The kit
comes with the variable blower. 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 the blower is
optional.
LOCATING FIREPLACE
Planning
Plan where you will install the fireplace. This will save time and money later when you install
the fireplace. Before installation, consider the following:
1.
Where the fireplace will be located. Allow for wall and ceiling clearances (see
Installation Clearances, pages 10 & 11).
2.
Everything needed to complete installation.
3.
These models CANNOT be installed in a bedroom or bathroom.
4.
Proper air for combustion and ventilation (see below).
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
This fireplace shall not be installed in a confined space unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following
instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in
your home.
Today's homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased insula-
tion, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather
strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During
heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.
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 combustion and
ventilation.
Exhaust fans, fireboxes, clothes dryers, and fuel-burning appliances draw air from the house
to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper
venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
