WARNING
•
Improper installation or use of the  rebox can cause serious injury or death from
 re, burns, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.
•
Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Avoid drafts that alter
burner  ame patterns.
•
Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory, not approved
for use with this  rebox where applicable.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1.
Due to high temperatures, the  rebox should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies.
2.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard
of high surface temperature and should stay away
to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
3.
Young children should be carefully supervised
when they are in the same room with the  rebox.
4.
Do not place clothing or other  ammable material
near the  replace when the  rebox is in use.
5.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing,
must be replaced prior to operating a heater within
the  rebox.
6.
Installation and repair should be done by a quali ed
service person.
7.
To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented
gas heater/firebox should be cleaned at least
annually by a professional service person. More
frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, etc. It is imperative that
control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways be kept clean.
8.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.l/NFPA 54.
9.
This unit complies with Z21-91
Ventless
Firebox
Enclosures for gas-fired unvented decorative room
heaters.
10.
Do not install the  rebox in a bathroom or bedroom.
11.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner  ame patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into  replace. Do not place
a blower inside burn area of  rebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter burner  ame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will occur.
12.
Caution:
Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce
combustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free
appliances will not  lter or clean soot produced by
these types of products. In addition, the smoke and/or
aromatics (scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free
appliance which can produce odors. It is recommended
to minimize the use of candles, incense, etc. while the
vent-free appliance is in operation.
13.
Keep room area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other  ammable vapors and
liquids.
14.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various
components of this appliance are treated with certain
oils,  lms or bonding agents. These chemicals are not
harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells
as they are burned off during the initial operation
of the appliance; possibly causing headaches or eye
or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary
occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with
the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum
ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors
to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial
break-in period will be slight and will disappear with
continued use.
15.
Always have a fireplace screen in place when the
appliance is in operation and, unless other provisions
for combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an
opening(s) for induction of combustion air.

WARNING
CAUTION
Plumbing connections should only be performed by a
qualified, licensed plumber. Main gas supply must be
off when plumbing gas line to  replace or performing
service.
Connecting directly to an unregulated
propane/LPG tank can cause an
explosion.
Consult all local codes. All gas piping must be installed to comply with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54.
Remove the access cover(s) on the front of the  rebox for access to gas line installation. Knock out one of the four holes on
the baseplate for gas line connection to the log set.
The
1
/
2
" gas line may enter either from the left side or right side of the  rebox for See-Through Unit (GSTF36). Gas
access holes are provided on both sides of the  rebox.
For the Peninsula Unit (GPF36) and the Corner Units (GRCF36 and GLCF36), the 1/2" gas line must enter from
the closed-side of the  rebox.
The gas supply line must have an ANSI approved manual shutoff valve, upstream of the appliance. Either a recessed valve
with a key should be mounted to the wall or  oor outside the  rebox, or an on/off appliance-style valve with union can be
placed inside the  rebox. A plugged 1/8" NPT pressure taping point is recommended for service and may be incorporated to
the valve assembly. Bring a minimum 1/2" gas supply line through the knockout hole provided in the  rebox.
A sediment trap may be upstream of the heater to prevent moisture and contaminants from passing through trap to the heater
controls and burners. Failure to do so could prevent the heater from operating reliably. Consult applicable codes.
In addition to the regulator  tted to the heater, an external regulator must be used on all propane/LPG heaters to reduce
the supply tank pressure to 13" w.c. (maximum). Any copper tubing used to supply propane/LPG from the tank must be
internally tinned.
Note: When connecting propane/LPG vent-free room heaters, you must use pipe sealant
resistant to propane/LPG.
Check gas type: The gas supply must be the same as stated on the heater’s rating plate. If the gas supply is different,
DO NOT INSTALL THE HEATER. Contact your dealer for the correct model.
After completing connection, test all gas joints from the gas meter to the gas heater regulator for leaks. Using soap and
water solution or a gas sniffer. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME
GAS LINE INSTALLATION
WARNING
Do not connect directly to natural
gas 1/2 PSI or 2 PSI systems. Always
make sure natural gas pressure is
regulated 10.5 w.c. (maximum before
operating the unit).
