Please retain these instructions for future reference .
WARNING:
• Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.
• Improper installation or use of the heater can cause serious injury or death from re, burns,
explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Do not allow fans to blow directly into the replace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner ame
patterns.
• Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory, not approved for use with
this heater where applicable.
13. 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.
14. 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 reburned 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.
15. This is an unvented gas-fired heater. It uses air
(oxygen) from the room in which it is installed. Provi-
sions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must
be provided. Refer to page 8.
16. This heater shall not be installed in a room or space
unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is
provided by the method described in the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International
Fuel Gas Code or applicable local codes.
17. Keep room area clear and free from combustible mate-
rials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids.
18. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater.
They are not intended to be the primary heating appli-
ance.
19. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living
area. In most homes of average construction, this
does not pose a problem. In houses of extremely
tight construction, additional mechanical ventilation is
recommended.
20. 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.
1. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of trafc 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 appliance.
4. Do not place clothing or other ammable material
on or near the appliance.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing
an appliance, must be replaced prior to operating
the heater.
6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualied
service person.
7. To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented
gas heater should be cleaned before use and at
least annually by a professional service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials,
etc. It is imperative that control compartments,
burners and circulating air passageways be kept
clean.
8. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the u with
headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these
signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Have the heater
serviced as it may not be operating properly.
9. The installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.l/NFPA54.
10. This unit complies with the latest edition of ANSI
Z21.11.2–2013, Unvented Heaters.
11. Do not install the heaters in a bathroom or bedroom.
12. Correct installation of the refractory cement or ceramic
ber logs, proper location of the heater, and annual
cleaning are necessary to avoid potential problems with
sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper installation or
operation, can settle on surfaces outside the replace.
See log placement instructions for proper installation.

IGNITION CONTROLS (MILLIVOLT ONLY)
Piezo ignitor allows ignition of the pilot without the use of
matches or batteries.
Millivolt control has four (4) positions:
OFF - All gas to the gas logs is shut off at the
valve.
IGN - Valve position to light/maintain a standing
pilot.
ON - Valve position to turn ON/OFF log set with
remote switch/thermostat.
LOW/HI - Variable position to control ame height
(heat output).
THERMAL GENERATOR (MILLIVOLT ONLY)
The millivolt gas log pilot is tted with a millivolt generator
to provide power for remote activation.
PILOT
The gas log heater is tted with a specially designed safety
pilot light (ODS assembly) which senses the amount of
oxygen available in the room and shuts the gas log heater
off if the oxygen level begins to drop below a satisfactory
level. The pilot can only be re-lit when adequate fresh air
is available.

620308184
VFF Vent Free Fireplace System
COLD CLIMATE OPTION (IPI Models Only)
NOTE: If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks around
your appliance and wherever cold air could enter the room,
with noncombustible material. It is especially important to
insulate the outside chase cavity between the studs and
under the oor on which the appliance rests, if the oor is
above ground level.
Your replace is equipped with an intermittent pilot ignition
(IPI) control. An IPI control with a standing pilot option pro-
vides the dual benet of an economical and environmentally
responsible product and one which lights easily even in
the coldest climates. When in intermittent pilot mode (as
it comes from the factory), your pilot remains unlit until
needed, saving you fuel. Standing pilot mode, by com-
parison, is characterized by a continuously burning pilot.
The benet of a pilot which lights only when needed is fuel
savings. However, with no pilot burning in your replace,
units operating in colder climates may experience delayed
start up or lock out. Because colder air is heavier than
milder air and there is no pilot burning to maintain a warm
stable temperature in your rebox, establishing a draft to
aid ignition becomes difcult. This is perfectly normal but
can be somewhat frustrating.
To remedy this issue, your replace has been designed with
a cold climate pilot option, which, when active, maintains
a warmer temperature inside your rebox to make ignition
faster and more efcient. Operating your appliance in cold
climate (aka standing) pilot mode will prohibit the need for
multiple ignition attempts and will prevent the system from
delaying start up or locking out.
To activate the cold climate option, simply move the cold
climate toggle switch located on the right side of the black
control center to the “On” (left) position. (Figure 2) You can
operate your appliance in this mode regardless of whether
you are using a remote control, wall switch or thermostat.

The National Fuel Gas Code, (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54),
denes a conned space as a space whose volume is less
than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m3 per kw) of
the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that
pace, and an unconned space as a space whose volume
is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (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 a conned space.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
FIREPLACE LOCATION
Carefully select the best location for installation of your
unvented replace. The following factors should be taken
into consideration.
• Clearance to side wall, ceiling, woodwork and
window or other combustibles. Refer to “Clearances”
section. Minimum clearances to combustibles must
be maintained.
• Location must not be affected by drafts caused by
kitchen exhaust fans, ceiling fans, return air registers
for forced air furnaces / air conditioners, windows or
doors.
• Installation must provide adequate ventilation and
combustion air.
• DO NOT INSTALL THESE MODELS IN A BED-
ROOM OR BATHROOM.
• Location should be out of high trafc areas and
away from furniture and draperies due to heat
from rebox.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the unvented
replace or restrict the ow of combustion and ven-
tilation air.
• Minimize modications to existing construction. Refer
to Figure 5 below for location suggestions.
• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other
ammable liquids may be stored. The unvented re-
box must be kept clear and free from the combustible
materials.

Unusually tight construction is dened as construction
where:
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere
have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of
1 perm (6 x 1011 kg per pa/sec-m2) or less with openings
gasketed or sealed, and
b. weather stripping has been added on openable windows
and doors, and
c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints
around window and door frames, between sole plates
and oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall
panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas
lines and other openings.
The following formula can be used to determine the maxi-
mum heater rating per the denition of unconned space:
BTU/Hr = (L1+ L2) Ft x (W) Ft x (H) Ft
50
Consider two connecting rooms with an open area
between, with the following dimensions:
L1 = 151/2 Ft., L2 = 12 Ft., W = 12 Ft., H = 8 Ft.
BTU/Hr = (151/2 + 12) x (12) x (8)
50
If there were a door between the two rooms the calculation
would be based only on the room with the heater.
BTU/Hr = (151/2) x (12) x (8)
