INSTALLATION
Continued
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 openings
to create the easiest installation (see Built-In
Fireplace Installation, pages 9 and 10).
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.
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 heater
where impurities (such as, but
not limited to, tobacco smoke,
aromatic candles, cleaning flu-
ids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in
the air exist, may discolor walls
or cause odors.
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
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.
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.

ELECTRICAL HOOKUP
(Model VSGF28PTC or
VSGF28PVA with GA3750 or
GA3650T Series Blower)
This fireplace has a blower assembly with an
electrical cord. The electrical cord is five feet
in length. You must locate fireplace within
reach of a 120-volt grounded electrical out-
let. If not, you must install an electrical outlet
within reach of fireplace power cord. The
GA3555 outlet accessory may be used for
built-in installation when a blower is in-
stalled. This same information applies if
installing optional blower accessories to
Model VSGF28PVA.
