This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight
construction 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
insulation, 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, stoves, 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.

Operation
This stove is designed to accept all gas log heaters listed in Table 1, page 2. It requires
no outside venting or chimney making installation easy and inexpensive. When used
without the blower, the stove requires no electricity making it ideal for emergency back-
up heat.
Blower Accessory
The stove will accept the GA3700 accessory. The variable blower allows you to
select the fan speed you desire. The blower circulates heated air from the stove into
the room. Use of blower is optional.
