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 LGFB32C rebox will accept the GA3750A
accessory. The variable blower allows you to
select the fan speed you desire. The blower
circulates heated air from the rebox into the
room. Use of blower is optional.

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
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
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 the 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.

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

_______ 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.

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
properly.

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.

Built-in installation of this rebox involves
installing rebox into a framed-in enclosure.
This makes the front of rebox ush with wall.
Optional perimeter trim is available (see Ac-
cessories, page 13) This perimeter trim will
extend past sides of rebox approximately
1/2". This will cover rough edges of the wall
opening. If installing a mantel above the re-
box, you must follow the clearances shown in
Figure 7, page 8. Follow the instructions below
to install the rebox in this manner.
1. Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions
shown in Figure 13 for the rough opening.
If installing in a corner, use dimensions
shown in Figure 14 for the rough opening.
The height is 33", which is the same as
the wall opening in Figure 13.
2. Install gas piping to rebox location. This
installation includes an approved exible
gas line (if allowed by local codes) after
the equipment shutoff valve. The exible
gas line must be the last item installed on
the gas piping. See Connecting to Gas
Supply in log set owner’s manual.
3. Carefully set rebox in front of rough open-
ing with back of rebox inside wall opening.
IMPORTANT: If installing perimeter trim,
see instructions included with perimeter
trim accessory. You must install shoulder
screws now.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORY MANTELS
This rebox may be installed using the corner
