through which the gas vent passes except in single or two-fam-
ily dwellings.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Consultlocalbuildingcodesbeforebeginningtheinstallation. Only
a qualified service person should install venting system. The in-
staller must follow these safety rules:
• Situate the gas vent in the structure so that it can be installed
without cutting joists, sills, plates, or major load bearing parti-
tions or members. It is also important to locate the base of the
gas vent as near as possible to the heating appliance.
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection
• Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on roof tops
• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceilings
• This burner system must be properly connected to a venting system.
This burner system is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system.
The following actions will void the warranty on your venting
system:
• Use only vents labeled "FOR EXTERIOR USE" above the
roofline.
• Installation of any damaged venting component
• Unauthorized modification of the venting system
• Consult the authority having jurisdiction to select the correct
gas vent diameter. Avoid using a larger than necessary diameter.
• Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved

WARNING: Installation should only be made by
qualified persons who are familiar with the safety
procedures required for the installation of the prod-
uct, who are equipped with the proper tools and
testing instruments, and who have achieved proper
certification of licensing. Installations made by un-
qualified persons can result in the risk of injury or
electrical shock which can be serious or even fatal.
NOTICE: Treatment of firestops and construction of
the chase may vary from building type to building
type. These instructions are not substitutes for the
requirements of local building codes. You must fol-
low all local building codes.
Note: When installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as
you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially
important in cold climates. Minimum clearance between vent pipes
and combustible materials such as insulation is 1".
Figures 21 through 23 show other options for the gas vent. When
venting through a side wall your vent pipe must have the proper
temperature rating (see Figure 23). Manufacturer's clearances must
alsobemaintained.Consulttheauthorityhavingjurisdictioninyour
area regarding venting through side wall.
CHECKING VENT CAPACITY
Complete all gas piping, electrical, and vent connections. After adjust-
ing the burner system and lighting the main burners, allow a couple 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

TROUBLESHOOTING
VENTING PROBLEMS
Most venting problems are caused by incorrect vent sizing, im-
proper installation, or inadequate air supply. A preliminary check
for a field problem might include:
Elbows
Toomanyelbowscauseexcessiverestrictionofflowandmayresult
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.
• Checking the vent sizing according to manufacturer’s specifica-
tions, appliance input, and venting configuration
• Examining the entire venting system for faults such as discon-
nected joints for damaged vent sections
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.
• Making sure vent and air openings are not obstructed
If these procedures do not reveal the source of the problem, trouble-
shooting may include attention to common venting problems.
FLUE GAS SPILLAGE
Flue Gas Cooling
Spillage occurs when flue gases cannot exit the vent system and
back up into the dwelling. A primary symptom of appliances
equipped with a Vent Safety Shutoff System (flue spill switch) is
unexplained appliance shutoffs. Other symptoms of flue gas spill-
age at the draft hood include condensation on walls and windows
and/or noticeable odors. Spillage may also result in the release of
carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, highly toxic gas. A simple
spillage test can be conducted if spillage is suspected. See Checking
Gas Connection, page 14.
Venting exposed to extremely cold temperatures or venting of
single wall construction loses heat needed to maintain draft; mas-
sive masonry chimneys absorb needed heat. If the flue gases cool
excessively, draft is reduced and spillage may result. Use proper
materials, insulate and protect properly, reline when necessary.
Down Drafts
In certain wind conditions and in certain relationships with nearby
structures and objects, high pressure conditions may affect draft
negatively.Relocatetheventcap,raiseitsheight,oruseanapproved
high wind cap.
CAUSES OF SPILLAGE AND CORRECTIVE
ACTION
Incorrect Vent Sizing
CAST IRON STOVE AND
B-VENT BURNER SYSTEM
INSTALLATION
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 manufacturer’s instructions, appliance input rating, and
appropriate sizing tables.
NOTICE: This burner system is intended for use as
supplemental heat. Use this burner system along
with your primary heating system. Do not install this
stoveandburnersystemasyourprimaryheatsource.
If you have a central heating system, you may run
system’s circulating blower while using heater. This
will help circulate the heat throughout the house. In
the event of a power outage, you can use this burner
system as your primary heat source.
Venting Condition
Loose joints can affect draft and cause spillage. “Mashed” vent
sectionsanddamagedventcapscanrestrictflowandcausespillage.
Examine and replace as needed.
Obstructions
Small animals or birds may get into and block the vent or draft hood
outlet. Dust, lint, and foreign objects may obstruct air inlets. Remove
obstructions and clean openings.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the burner system unit you are installing. If
you have conflicting gas types, do not install burner system. See
dealer where you purchased the stove and burner system for proper
burner system according to your gas type. Conversion kits are also
available for these models, see Accessories on page 32.
Lateral Run
Lengthyhorizontalornon-verticalrunscauseresistancetoflowand
may reduce draft enough to cause spillage. The pitch of lateral runs
can also be a problem; lateral runs should be pitched 1/4" rise per
foot of horizontal run from the appliance to the vent.
IMPORTANT: If installing gas conversion kit, do so at this time.
Be sure to follow all installation instructions included with
conversion kit.

or “ghost”. This can be dangerous. Inspect the flames after installa-
tion to ensure proper installation and performance.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off burner system and let cool
before cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if pieces are hot.
Use only the ceramic glass door replacement intended for this
burner system (see Replacement Parts, page 26 for details on
ordering). No substitutions may be made. See Removing/Replacing
Glass Door, page 17 for instructions for replacing glass door.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners,
and circulating air passageways of stove with burner
system clean. Inspect these areas of stove and burner
systembeforeeachuse.Haveburnersysteminspected
yearly by a qualified service person. Burner system
mayneedmorefrequentcleaningduetoexcessivelint
from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.
WARNING:Donotoperateburnersystemwiththe
glass door removed, cracked, or broken.
PILOT AND BURNERS
• Remove ember material before cleaning burners and replace
when cleaning is complete.
GLASS DOOR
• Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to
remove dust, dirt, or lint.
WARNING: Handle glass door panel with care.
Do not strike, slam or otherwise abuse glass. Do
not operate burner system with the glass door
removed, cracked, or broken.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled brush to remove
excess dust, dirt, or lint.
LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Logs, Lava
Rock, and Glowing Embers, page 18, to properly replace logs.
WARNING:Donotuseabrasivecleanersasthismay
damage glass. Use a non-abrasive household glass
cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any carbon build-up on logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts on page 26.
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for
condensationtoformontheinsideoftheglasscausinglint,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-ammonia, non-
abrasivehouseholdcleanerandwarmwaterafterthefirsttwoweeks
of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three times during
each heating season, depending on the usage and circumstances
present.RefertoRemoving/ReplacingGlassDooronpage17ofthis
manual when removing glass door for cleaning.
• Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replacement
Parts on page 26.
VENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting system following these
guidelines:
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 immediately by a qualified service person.
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flashlight into the vent.
Remove any foreign material.
WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufac-
turer should be used when replacing broken or
damaged glass door panel (see Replacement Parts,
page 26). This glass door panel is a complete unit.
No substitute materials may be used.
3. Check for evidence of excessive condensation. Continuous
condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and fittings
and can be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows, or exterior portions of the system being exposed to
cold weather.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses while
handling or removing broken glass. Do not remove if
glass is hot. Keep children and pets away from glass.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section or fitting has been
disturbed and loosened. Check mechanical supports such as
wall straps for rigidity.
If glass has been broken, carefully remove glass door (see Remov-
ing/Replacing Glass Door, page 17). Vacuum all glass pieces with
a shop vac.

LIMITED WARRANTY

DESA warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and components for four (4) 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 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. 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

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.
