(Physical size limitations apply. Refer to minimum firebox requirements supplied with log heater.) It requires no outside venting or chimney making installation easy and inexpensive. When used without the blower (models FB36CA or FB42C only), the firebox requires no electricity making it ideal for emergency back-up heat. Blower Accessory The FB36CA or FB42C fireboxes will accept the GA3700 accessory. The variable blower allows you to select the fan speed you desire. The blower circulates heated air from the firebox into the room. Use of blower is optional. Brick Liner This firebox features a revolutionary lightweight concrete brick liner. As with all concrete liners, this liner may develop slight cracks when exposed to heat. These cracks will not affect the performance of the fireplace or vent-free gas logs. LOCATING FIREBOX Planning Plan where you will install the firebox. This will save time and money later when you install the firebox. Before installation, consider the following: 1. Where the firebox will be located. Allow for wall and ceiling clearances (see Installation Clearances, page 7). 2. Everything needed to complete installation. 3. These models CANNOT be installed in a bedroom or bathroom. 4. Proper air for combustion and ventilation (see below). AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION WARNING: This firebox shall not be installed in a confined space unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home. Today’s homes are built more energy efficient 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 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, fireboxes, 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 fuelburning appliances. Unusually Tight Construction The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air. Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where: a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10-11 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 floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings. If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 6. If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to page 5. Confined and Unconfined Space 3. Confined Space. The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSIZ223.1, 1992 Section 5.3) defines a confined space as a space whose volume is 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 and an unconfined 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 the unconfined space. The information on pages 4 through 6 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation. * Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them. PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION The following is exerpts from National Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation. All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classifications: 1. Unusually Tight Contruction; 2. Unconfined Space; Continued 4 103451 OWNER’S MANUAL AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Continued DETERMINING AIR FLOW FOR FIREBOX LOCATION Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space. Space: Includes the room in which you will install firebox 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 22 ft. (length) x 18 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 3168 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. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support. _____________ (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = (Maximum Btu/Hr the space can support) Example: 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 63.3 or 63,300 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support) 3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space. Vent-free firebox ____________ Btu/Hr Example: Gas water heater* ____________ Btu/Hr Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/Hr Gas furnace ____________ Btu/Hr Vent-free firebox Vented gas heater ____________ Btu/Hr with log heater + 39,000 Btu/Hr Gas firebox logs ____________ Btu/Hr Total = 79,000 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. 4. 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 of Btu/Hr used) Example: 63,300 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 confined space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows: A. Rework work sheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air from Inside Building, page 6. B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air from Outdoors, page 6. C. Install a lower Btu/Hr firebox, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room unconfined. If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation. WARNING: If the area in which the firebox and gas log heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space, provide adequate combustion and ventillation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, 1992, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes. Continued 103451 5 VANGUARD UNVENTED (VENT-FREE) LOGMATE™ FIREBOX AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Continued VENTILATION AIR Ventilation Air From Inside Building This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 4). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 4). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts. 12" Ventilation Grills Into Adjoining Room, Option 1 Ventilation Grills Into Adjoining Room, Option 2 Or Remove Door into Adjoining Room, Option 3 ,,,,, ,,,, , , ,,,,, ,,,, , , , ,,,,, ,,,, , , , , ,,,,, , , ,,,, , , , ,,,,, , , ,,,, , , , ,,,,, , , ,,,, , , , ,,,,, , , ,,,, , , ,,,,, , , ,,,, , , , , ,,,, ,,,,,,, , ,,,,, ,, , 12" Figure 4 - Ventilation Air from Inside Building WARNING: Rework worksheet, adding the space of the adjoining unconfined space.

19 WARRANTY INFORMATION KEEP THIS WARRANTY Model Serial No. Date Purchased Always specify model and serial numbers when communicating with the factory. We reserve the right to amend these specifications at any time without notice. The only warranty applicable is our standard written warranty. We make no other warranty, expressed or implied. LIMITED WARRANTY VENT-FREE FIREBOX DESA International warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and components for three (3) years from the date of first purchase, provided that the product has been properly installed, operated and maintained in accordance with all applicable instructions. To make a claim under this warranty the Bill of Sale or cancelled check must be presented. This warranty is extended only to the original retail purchaser. This warranty covers the cost of part(s) required to restore this heater to proper operating condition and an allowance for labor when provided by a DESA Authorized Service Center. Warranty part(s) MUST be obtained through authorized dealers of this product and/or DESA International who will provide original factory replacement parts. Failure to use original factory replacement parts voids this warranty. The heater MUST be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with all local codes and instructions furnished with the unit. This warranty does not apply to parts that are not in original condition because of normal wear and tear, or parts that fail or become damaged as a result of misuse, accidents, lack of proper maintenance or defects caused by improper installation. As with all concrete liners, this liner may develop slight cracks when exposed to heat. This cracking is considered normal. Travel, diagnostic cost, labor, transportation and any and all such other costs related to repairing a defective heater will be the responsibility of the owner. TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY THE LAW OF THE JURISDICTION THAT GOVERNS THE SALE OF THE PRODUCT; THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY EXCLUDES ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESSED WARRANTIES AND LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE TO THREE (3) YEARS ON ALL COMPONENTS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST PURCHASE; AND DESA INTERNATIONAL’S LIABILITY IS HEREBY LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT AND DESA INTERNATIONAL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER INCLUDING INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states do not allow a limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or an exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation on implied warranties, or exclusion or limitation on damages may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state. For information about this warranty write: 103451 01 2701 Industrial Drive P.O. Box 90004 Bowling Green, KY 42102-9004 NOT A UPC 103451-01 Rev. C 12/97
