Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New mate-
rials, 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, fireplaces, 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.

This vent-free fireplace is clean burning. It requires no outside
venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or up a chimney. Heat is
generated by both realistic flames and glowing embers. When used
without the blower, the fireplace requires no electricity making it
ideal for emergency backup heat.

This fireplace has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS)
safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-
free room heaters. The ODS/pilot system shuts off the fireplace if
there is not enough fresh air.

This fireplace has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no matches,
batteries, or other sources to light fireplace.

Install and use fireplace with care. Follow all local codes. In the
absence of local codes, use the latest edition of The National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54*.

This fireplace has a blower assembly. The blower operates
thermostatically and has a variable speed control. The blower circulates
heated air from the fireplace into the room. Use of blower is optional.
Optional blower accessories are available for model VSGF28PVA.

This fireplace has a thermostat sensing bulb and a control valve. The
thermostat controls the heat output and flame height. This maintains a
consistent room temperature. Even the lowest setting provides realistic
flames and glowing embers from two burners. Selecting higher comfort
settings allows fireplace to run longer, producing greater heat output. At
lower comfort settings, the fireplace will run less. This results in
increased heating comfort. This can also result in lower gas bills.

This fireplace has a variable manual control valve which allows the user
to choose the heat setting that best suits his needs. Any setting between
low and high may be selected by simply turning the control knob.
