to what gas your unit is equipped for, please check 

the rating plate located inside of the appliance 

opening or consult your mobile home supplier or 

your local distributor of DESA/Vexar products.

fore installing this appliance.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Before beginning the installation of your appli-

ance, read these instructions through completely.
This DESA/Vexar fireplace and its components are 

safe when installed according to this installation 

manual and operated as recommended. Unless 

you use DESA/Vexar components designed and 

tested for this fireplace system, 

YOU MAY CAUSE 

A SAFETY HAZARD!

The DESA/Vexar warranty will be voided by, and 

DESA/Vexar disclaims any responsibility for the 

following actions:
A) Modification  to  the  fireplace,  components, 

doors, blower, fans or vent system.

B) Use of any component part not manufactured or 

approved by DESA/Vexar in combination with 

a DESA/Vexar fireplace system.

Proper installation is the most important step in 

ensuring  safe  and  continuous  operation  of  the 

fireplace. Consult the local building codes as to the 

particular requirements concerned with the instal-

lation of all factory built fireplaces. This fireplace, 

when installed, must be electrically grounded in 

accordance with local codes or in the absence of 

local codes, with the 

National Electrical Code, 

ANSI/NFPA 70

 or the 

Canadian Electrical Code, 

CSA C22.1.

The installation must conform with local codes or, 

in the absence of local codes, with the 

National Fuel 

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1

 or the 

Canadian Installa-

tion Code, CAN/CGA B149.

 This appliance com-

plies with ANSI Z21.88-1998 and CSA 2.33-M98 

as a VENTED GAS FIREPLACE HEATER. 

SELECTING LOCATION

To determine the safest and most efficient loca-

tion  for  your  fireplace,  consider  the  following 

guidelines:
1.  The location must allow for proper clearances 

(see Figure 1).

2.  Consider a location where the fireplace would 

not  be  affected  by  drafts,  air  conditioning 

ducts, windows or doors.

3.  A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof 

rafters makes ventilation installation easier.

In selecting a location, the following precautions 

must be observed:
•  Do not connect this appliance to a chimney 

system used for solid fuel burning fireplace.

•  Due to high temperatures, do not locate this 

appliance in high traffic areas or near furniture 

and draperies.

•  Never obstruct the openings of the appliance 

or  flow  of  ventilation  air.  Keep  the  control 

compartments accessible.

INSTALLATION

Flush installation

 is recommended where living 

space is limited.

Projected installation

 may be ideal for a new 

addition to an existing finished wall.

Corner installation

 makes use of a space that may 

not normally be used and provides a wider and 

more efficient range for radiant heat transfer.
