AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
Providing Adequate Ventilation
ASSEMBLY
Continued
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.
Assembling Hood
1. Locate four black phillips sheet metal screws from the hard-
ware packet.
Exhaustfans,fireplaces,clothesdryers,andfuelburningappliances
drawairfromthehousetooperate.Youmustprovideadequatefresh
air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented
fuel-burning appliances.
2. Rotate hood as shown in Figure 4. Make sure hood tabs
point toward fireplace.
3. Insert hood tabs between baffle and louvers (see Figure 4).
4. Gently rotate hood to upright position. Make sure hood tabs are
behind louvers and hood is resting on firebox top (see Figure 4).
PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
5. Align screw holes on hood with screw holes on firebox top.
6. Insert screws as shown in Figure 4. Tighten screws firmly.
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI
Z223.1/ NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation
classifications:
Louver
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
Hood Tabs
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 5 through 7 will help you classify your
space and provide adequate ventilation.
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:

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

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a
confined space or unusually tight construction un-
less 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.
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you
must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
From Outdoors, page 7.
If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above,
proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Fireplace
Location, page 6.
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materi-
als, 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.

__________________ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
56,000 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:
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless
passageways or ventilation grills between them.
A. Rework worksheet, 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

tion 5.3 or applicable local codes.
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or open-
ings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.
2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/Hr
the space can support.

For propane/LP units, installer must supply an external regulator.
The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You
must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of
water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, fireplace
regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the
vent pointing down as shown in Figure 23. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
Extension Cord
Use extension cord if needed. The cord must have a three-prong,
groundingplugandathree-holereceptacle. Makesurecordisingood
shape. It must be heavy enough to carry the current needed. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage. This will result in
loss of power and overheating. Use a No. 16 AWG cord for lengths
less than 50 feet.
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe.
Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in cer-
tain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2"
or greater diameter to allow proper gas volume to
fireplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume
will occur.

The thermostatic control used on this fireplace differs from
standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn on and
off the burner. The thermostat used on this fireplace senses the
room temperature. The thermostat adjusts the amount of gas
flow to the burner. This increases or decreases the burner flame
height. At times the room may exceed the set temperature. If so,
theburnerwillshutoff. Theburnerwillcyclebackonwhenroom
temperature drops below the set temperature.

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
The control knob can be set to any heat level between HI and LO.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature
of air near the fireplace cabinet. This may not alwaysagree with
room temperature (depending on housing construction, instal-
lation location, room size, open air temperatures, etc.). Fre-
quent use of your fireplace will let you determine your own
comfort levels.
Figure 33 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 34 shows an
incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not properly
heating the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool.
When the thermocouple cools, the fireplace will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 34

DESA Heating Products warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and components for four (4) years and five (5) years on stainless
steel burners 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 fireplace to proper
operating condition and an allowance for labor when provided by a DESA Heating Products Authorized Service Center. Warranty part(s) MUST be
obtained through authorized dealers of this product and/or DESA Heating Products who will provide original factory replacement parts. Failure to
use original factory replacement parts voids this warranty. The fireplace 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. Travel, diagnostic cost, labor, transportation and
any and all such other costs related to repairing a defective fireplace 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
