PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
This rebox is designed to accept unvented
decorative gas logs. It requires no outside
venting or chimney making installation easy
and inexpensive. When used without the
blower the rebox requires no electricity mak-
ing it ideal for emergency backup heat.
BLOWER ACCESSORY
The CGFB32CB firebox will accept the
GA3750A accessory. The variable blower
allows you to select the fan speed you de-
sire. The blower circulates heated air from
the rebox into the room. Use of blower is
optional.

Plan where you will install the rebox. This will save
time and money later when you install the rebox.
Before installation, consider the following:
1. Where the rebox will be located. Allow for
wall and ceiling clearances (see Installa-
tion Clearances, page 7).
2.
Everything needed to complete installation.
3. This model CANNOT be installed in a
bedroom or bathroom.
4. Proper air for combustion and ventilation
(see Air For Combustion and Ventilation).
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA54, the International
Fuel Gas Code,
Today’s homes are built more energy efcient
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
efcient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning ap-
pliances need fresh air for proper combustion
and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, reboxes, clothes dryers and fuel
burning appliances draw air from the house to
operate. You must provide adequate fresh air
fire-parts.com
www.desatech.com
116548-01H 5
for these appliances. This will insure proper
venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air
for Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three
following ventilation classications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconned Space
3. Conned Space
The information on pages 4 through 6 will help
you classify your space and provide adequate
ventilation.
The air that leaks around doors and windows
may provide enough fresh air for combustion
and ventilation. However, in buildings of un-
usually tight construction, you must provide
additional fresh air.

Determining
Fresh-Air Flow For Firebox Location
The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 denes a conned space as a space
whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances installed in that
space and an unconned space as a space
whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
Continued
input rating of all appliances installed in that
space. Rooms communicating directly with the
space in which the appliances are installed*,
through openings not furnished with doors, are
considered a part of the unconned space.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if
there are doorless passageways or ventilation
grills between them.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW
FOR HEATER LOCATION
Use this work sheet to determine if you have
a conned or unconned space.
Includes the room in which you will
install heater plus any adjoining rooms with
doorless passageways or ventilation grills
between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space (length
x width x height).
Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft.
(volume of space)
Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft.
(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 cu. ft.
(volume of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room
is supplied with grills or openings, add the
volume of these rooms to the total volume
of the space.
2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine
the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maxi-
mum Btu/Hr the space can support)
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =
51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr space can support)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances
in the space.
Vent-free heater __________ Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* __________ Btu/Hr
Gas furnace __________ Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater __________ Btu/Hr
Gas replace logs __________ Btu/Hr
Other gas appliances* + _________ Btu/Hr
Total = _________ Btu/Hr
* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances.
Direct-vent draws combustion air from the
outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
Example:
Gas water heater __________ Btu/Hr
Vent-free replace + _________ Btu/Hr
Total = _________ Btu/Hr

Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or ducts. You must provide two perma-
nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling
and one within 12" of the oor. Connect these
items directly to the outdoors or spaces open
to the outdoors. These spaces include attics
and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation for required size
of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for
inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermo-
stat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering
the attic will activate the power vent.

Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can
support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.
_______ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can
support)
_______ Btu/Hr (actual amount used)
Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the
space can support)
79,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of
Btu/Hr used)
The space in the above example is a conned
space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more
than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can sup-
port. You must provide additional fresh air. Your
options are as follows:
A.
Rework worksheet, adding the space of an
adjoining room. If the extra space provides an
unconned space, remove door to adjoining
room or add ventilation grills between rooms.
See Ventilation Air From Inside Building.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See
Ventilation Air From Outdoors.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/
Hr size makes room unconned.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the
maximum Btu/Hr the space can support,
the space is an unconned space. You will
need no additional fresh air ventilation.

spacers are attached to your rebox, 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

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
WARNING: Maintain the
Carefully follow the instructions below. This
will ensure safe installation.
Minimum Clearances For Side
A. Clearances from the side of the replace
cabinet to any combustible material and
wall should follow diagram in Figure 6.
Example: The face of a mantel, bookshelf,
etc. is made of combustible material and
protrudes 3 1/2" from the wall. This com-
bustible material must be 4" from the side
of the replace opening (see Figure 6).
B. Clearances from the top of the replace
opening to the ceiling should not be less
than 42".

IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add
moisture to the air. Although this is benecial,
installing rebox in rooms without enough

IMPORTANT: Make sure the rebox is level.
If rebox is not level, log set will not work

Mantel Clearances for Built-In
Installation
If placing custom mantel above built-in re-
box, you must meet the minimum allowable
clearance between mantel shelf and top of
rebox opening shown in Figure 7. These are
the minimum allowable mantel clearances
for a safe installation. Use larger clearances
wherever possible to minimize the heating of
objects and materials placed on the mantel.

If your installation does not meet the minimum
clearances in Figure 7, you must:
• raise mantel to an acceptable height,
OR
• remove mantel.
