INSTALLATION

NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat.
Use this heater along with your
primary heating system. Do not
install this heater as your pri-
mary heat source. If you have a
central heating system, you may
run system's circulating blower
while using heater. This will help
circulate the heat throughout the
house. In the event of a power
outage, you can use this heater
as your primary heat source.
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must install fireplace.
Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Never install the
fireplace
• in a bedroom or bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture,
clothing, or other flammable
objects are less than 42 inches
from the front, top, or sides of
the fireplace
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas
WARNING: Models VSGF28PTC
/ CSGF28PTC have a three-prong,
grounded electrical plug. This
plug helps protect you against
electrical shock. Only connect
plug to a properly grounded,
three-prong receptacle. Do not
cut or remove the grounding
prong from this plug.

CAUTION: This fireplace cre-
ates warm air currents. These cur-
rents move heat to wall surfaces
next to fireplace. Installing fire-
place next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating fireplace
where impurities (such as to-
bacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may
discolor walls.
Note: Your fireplace is designed to be used
in zero clearance installations. Wall or fram-
ing material can be placed directly against
any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top
of your fireplace, except where standoff
spacers are integrally attached. If standoff
spacers are attached to your fireplace, these
spacers can be placed directly against wall
or framing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough open-
ings to create the easiest installation (see
Built-In Fireplace Installation, page 13).
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add mois-
ture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing fireplace in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form
from too much moisture. See Air for Com-
bustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the fireplace is
level. If fireplace is not level, log set will not
work properly.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only propane/LP gas. If your gas supply
is not propane/LP gas, do not install fire-
place. Call dealer where you bought fire-
place for proper type fireplace.
