WARNING
This firebox 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
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, fireboxs, 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.

FEATURES
Operation
This firebox 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 (model FB32C only), the firebox requires no electricity making it
ideal for emergency back-up heat.
Blower Accessory
The FB32C firebox will accept the GA3500A accessory. 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 blower is optional.
