PRODUCT FEATURES

OPERATION

This firebox is designed for use with approved 

ANS Z21.11.2 decorative type unvented room 

appliances. (Physical size limitations apply. 

Refer to minimum firebox requirements sup-

plied with log appliance.) The maximum size 

log  this  firebox  will  accept  is:  width  of  32", 

depth of 19" and a height of 17".
This  firebox  requires  no  outside  venting  or 

chimney making installation easy and inex-

pensive. When used without the blower, the 

firebox requires no electricity making it ideal 

for emergency backup heat.

BLOWER ACCESSORY

The  firebox  will  accept  the  GA3500A  ac-

cessory. 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 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 

firebox or vent-free gas logs.
