these instructions  
Your fireplace is approved for use with any  
listed gas vent. A listed gas vent is a factory  
made and listed system designed, and in-  
stalled exclusively for removing products  
of combustion, excess air, and dilution air  
resultingfromburningfuelgas.Metalvents,  
the most common type of vent, employ  
double wall construction enclosing an insu-  
lating air space. This air space both helps  
keep flue gases warm and reduce heat trans-  
ferred to nearby combustibles. This appli-  
ance is equipped with a safety control sys-  
tem designed to protect against improper  
venting of combustion products.

• No substitution of components should  
be made.  
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built  
to enclose venting that runs along the out-

are not substitutes for the re-  
quirements of local building  
codes. You must follow all local  
building codes.  
• Appliances using B-vent connectors to  
vent into a masonry or factory-built  
chimney should not exceed 1 1/2 feet in  
length for every inch of connector diam-  
eter (3" vent connector has a maximum  
4 1/2 foot length; 5" connector has maxi-  
mum 7 1/2 foot length).  
WARNING: Operation of im-  
properlyinstalledandmaintained

serious injury, property damage,  
or loss of life.  
Note:Wheninstallinginachase,youshould  
insulate the chase as you would the outside  
walls of your home. This is especially im-  
portant in cold climates. Minimum clear-  
ance between vent pipes and combustible  
materials such as insulation is 1".  
• Oversized chimneys should be relined  
with appropriate listed relining systems.  
• Cleanout access may be required.  
CHECKING VENT CAPACITY  
Complete all gas piping, electrical, and vent  
connections. After adjusting the fireplace  
andlightingthemainburners,allowacouple  
of minutes for warm-up. Hold a lighted  
match just under the rim of the draft hood  
relief opening. Proper venting will draw the  
flame toward or into the draft hood. Im-  
proper venting, indicated by escape or spill-  
age of burned gas, will cause match to  
flicker or go out. Smoke from a cigarette  
will also be pulled into the draft hood if the  
vent is drawing properly.

PROBLEMS  
HIGH ALTITUDE  
INSTALLATION  
Most venting problems are caused by incor-  
rect vent sizing, improper installation, or  
inadequate air supply. A preliminary check  
for a field problem might include:  
Obstructions  
YourVanguardB-ventfreestandingfireplace  
heaterhasbeenAGAtestedandapprovedfor  
elevations from 0-2000 feet and CGA certi-  
fied for elevations from 0-4500 feet.  
Smallanimalsorbirdsmaygetintoandblock  
the vent or draft hood outlet. Dust, lint, and  
foreign objects may obstruct air inlets. Re-  
move obstructions and clean openings.  
• Using a draft meter to determine if  
venting system draft meets  
manufacturer’s specifications  
When installing this fireplace at an eleva-  
tion above 2000 feet (in the USA), you may  
need to decrease the input rating by chang-  
ing the existing burner orifice to a smaller  
size. Reduce input 4% for each 1000 feet  
above sea level. Check with your local gas  
company for proper orifice size identifica-  
tion and proper orifice for your location.  
Lateral Run  
• Checking the vent sizing according to  
manufacturer’s specifications, appliance  
input, and venting configuration  
Lengthyhoizontalornon-verticalrunscause  
resistance to flow and may reduce draft  
• Examining the entire venting system for enough to cause spillage. The pitch of lat-  
faults such as disconnected joints for eral runs can also be a problem; lateral runs  
damaged vent sections  
should be pitched 1/4" rise per foot of hori-  
zontal run from the appliance to the vent.  
• Making sure vent and air openings are  
not obstructed  
When installing this fireplace at an eleva-  
tion above 4500 feet (in Canada), check  
with local authorities.  
Elbows  
Iftheseproceduresdonotrevealthesourceof  
the problem, troubleshooting may include  
attention to common venting problems.  
Too many elbows cause excessive restric-  
tion of flow and may result in spillage.  
Usually, two 90º turns can be tolerated in a  
properly sized venting system. More than  
two may cause problems and necessitate  
changing the system.  
For assistance with any high altitude instal-  
lation contact DESA International’s Tech-  
nical Service Department at 1-800-DESA-  
LOG (1-800-337-2564).  
FLUE GAS SPILLAGE  
Spillage occurs when flue gases cannot exit  
the vent system and back up into the dwell-  
ing. A primary symptom of appliances  
equipped with a Vent Safety Shutoff System  
(flue spill switch) is unexplained appliance  
shutoffs.Othersymptomsoffluegasspillage  
at the draft hood include condensation on  
walls and windows and/or noticeable odors.  
Spillage may also result in the release of  
carbonmonoxide,acolorless,odorless,highly  
toxic gas. A simple spillage test can be con-  
ducted if spillage is suspected. See Checking  
Gas Connection, pages 13 and 14.  
Negative Pressure in the  
Dwelling  
An extremely tight house may not supply  
adequate combustion and venting air. Use  
of mechanical exhaust such as a dryer vent  
or range vent may worsen the problem. An  
air exchange system must be installed in the  
dwelling to correct this problem.  
Flue Gas Cooling  
Venting exposed to extremely cold tem-  
peraturesorventingofsinglewallconstruc-  
tion loses heat needed to maintain draft;  
massive masonry chimneys absorb needed  
heat. Ifthe flue gasescool excessively, draft  
is reduced and spillage may result. Use  
proper materials, insulate and protect prop-  
erly, reline when necessary.  
CAUSES OF SPILLAGE AND  
CORRECTIVE ACTION  
Incorrect Vent Sizing  
If the vent is too small or too short, spillage  
may occur. If the vent is too large, excessive  
dilution air may cool flue gases and reduce  
draft, causing spillage. The vent cap size  
should also be checked. Check

put rating, and appropriate sizing tables.

valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap.  
Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge  
hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from  
fireplace (see Figure 26, page 13).  
Before installing fireplace, make sure you  
have the items listed below.  
INSTALLATION  
• external regulator (supplied by installer)  
• piping (check local codes)  
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)  
• manual shutoff valve *  
• test gauge connection *  
• sediment trap  
NOTICE: This heater is intended  
foruseassupplementalheat.Use  
this heater along with your pri-  
mary heating system. Do not in-  
stall this heater as your primary  
heat source. If you have a central  
heating system, you may run  
systemscirculatingblowerwhile  
using heater. This will help circu-  
late the heat throughout the  
house. In the event of a power  
outage, you can use this heater  
as your primary heat source.  
Check your building codes for any special  
requirements for locating manual shutoff  
valve to fireplaces.  
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male  
threads. This will prevent excess sealant  
from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe  
could result in clogged fireplace valves.  
• tee joint  
• pipe wrench  
• approved flexible gas line with gas con-  
nector (if allowed by local codes) (not  
provided)  
CAUTION:Usepipejointseal-  
ant that is resistant to liquid pe-  
troleum (LP) gas.  
* AnA.G.A.design-certifiedmanualshutoff  
valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable  
alternative to test gauge connection. Pur-  
chase the A.G.A. design-certified manual  
shutoff valve from your dealer.  
Install sediment trap/drip leg in supply line  
as shown in Figure 26, page 13. Locate  
sediment trap/drip leg where it is within  
reach for cleaning. Locate sediment trap/  
drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to  
freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and  
contaminants. This keeps them from going  
into fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap/  
driplegisnotinstalledorisinstalledwrong,  
fireplace may not run properly.  
CHECK GAS TYPE  
Use proper gas type for the fireplace unit  
you are installing. If you have conflicting  
gastypes, donotinstallfireplace. Seedealer  
whereyoupurchasedthefireplaceforproper  
fireplace according to your gas type.  
For propane/LP connections only, the in-  
staller must supply an external regulator.  
Theexternalregulatorwillreduceincoming  
gas pressure. You must reduce incoming  
gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of  
water. If you do not reduce incoming gas  
pressure, heater regulator damage could  
occur. Install external regulator with the  
vent pointing down as shown in Figure 25.  
Pointing the vent down protects it from  
freezing rain or sleet.

CLEANING AND  
MAINTENANCE  
WARNING: Only parts sup-  
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to  
Installing Logs, Lava Rock, and Glowing  
Embers, page 17, to properly replace logs.  
pliedbythemanufacturershould  
be used when replacing broken  
ordamagedglassdoorpanel(see  
ReplacementParts,page25).This  
glass door panel is a complete  
unit. Nosubstitutematerialsmay  
be used.  
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any car-  
bon build-up on logs.  
WARNING: Turn off fireplace  
and let cool before cleaning.  
• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replace-  
ment Parts on page 25.  
CAUTION:Youmustkeepcon-  
trol areas, burners, and circulat-  
ing air passageways of fireplace  
clean. Inspect these areas of fire-  
place before each use. Have fire-  
place inspected yearly by a quali-  
fiedserviceperson.Fireplacemay  
need more frequent cleaning due  
to excessive lint from carpeting,  
bedding material, pet hair, etc.  
• Replace ember material periodically as  
needed. See Replacement Parts on page 25.  
CAUTION: Wear gloves and  
safety glasses while handling or  
removing broken glass. Do not  
remove if glass is hot. Keep chil-  
dren and pets away from glass.  
VENTING SYSTEM  
Conduct annual inspection of the venting  
system following these guidelines:  
If glass has been broken, carefully remove  
glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass  
Door, page 16). Vacuum all glass pieces  
with a shop vac.  
1. Check areas of venting system that are  
exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust  
spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,  
holes). Have these items replaced imme-  
diately by a qualified service person.  
GLASS DOOR  
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if  
pieces are hot.  
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a  
flashlight into the vent. Remove any  
foreign material.  
WARNING: Handle glass  
door panel with care. Do not  
strike, slam or otherwise abuse  
glass. Do not operate fireplace  
with the glass door removed,  
cracked, or broken.  
Use only the ceramic glass door replace-  
ment intended for this fireplace (see Re-  
placement Parts, page 25 for details on  
ordering). No substitutions may be made.  
See Removing/Replacing GlassDoor, page  
16 for instructions for replacing glass door.  
3. Check for evidence of excessive con-  
densation. Continuous condensation  
can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and  
fittings and can be caused by having  
excessive lateral runs, too many el-  
bows, or exterior portions of the sys-  
tem being exposed to cold weather.  
WARNING: Do not use abra-  
sivecleanersasthismaydamage  
glass. Use a non-abrasive house-  
hold glass cleaner to clean glass.  
Do not clean glass when hot.  
WARNING: Do not operate  
fireplace with the glass door re-  
moved, cracked, or broken.  
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sec-  
tion or fitting has been disturbed and  
loosened. Check mechanical supports  
such as wall straps for rigidity.  
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During  
start-up it is normal for condensation to  
form on the inside of the glass causing lint,  
dust, and other airborne particles to cling to  
the glass surface. During initial start-up a  
slight film may form on the glass due to  
paint curing. The glass should be cleaned  
several times with a non-amonia, non-abra-  
sive household cleaner and warm water  
afterthefirsttwoweeksofoperation.There-  
after, clean the glass two or three times  
during each heating season, depending on  
the usage and circumstances present. Refer  
toRemoving/ReplacingGlassDooronpage  
16ofthismanualwhenremovingglassdoor  
for cleaning.  
PILOT AND BURNERS  
• Remove ember material before clean-  
ing burners and replace when cleaning  
is complete.  
• Burner and controls should be cleaned  
with compressed air to remove dust, dirt,  
or lint.  
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft  
bristled brush to remove excess dust, dirt,  
or lint.
