FAN/BLOWER KIT ASSEMBLY
Fan or blower kit is optional (for circulating models only) with
this fireplace. Use of blowers or fans other than manufactured
by DESA voids the warranty. Fan is operated by pressing the
rocker switch (see figure 5a) in the lower right hand corner of
the fireplace face. Blower is operated by turning the control
knob (not shown).
Fan/blower kit electrical connections are made through the
electrical cover plate on the side of the fireplace as shown in
figure 5a.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
i. Remove
electrical
cover plate (with electrical
bushing) from the fireplace by removing the two
sheet metal screws as shown in figure 5a.
ii.
Slide power source wiring through the electrical
bushing opening and electrical cover plate and make
all the necessary connections.
iii.
Slide all wiring connections in the electrical housing
as shown in figure 5b.
iv.
Secure the electrical cover plate with screws
previously removed.
NOTE: Electrical housing and cover plate have sharp edges,
wear protective gloves.
CHIMNEY PIPE
The DESA chimney system consists of 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48
inch, snap-lock double-wall pipe segments, planned for
maximum adaptability to individual site requirements. Actual
lengths gained after fitting overlaps must be taken into
consideration (lineal gain) and are given in the lineal gain
chart (see figure 6).
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF THE DOUBLE
WALL CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Each double wall chimney section is consist of a galvanized
outer pipe, a stainless steel inner flue pipe and a wire spacer.
The pipe sections must be assembled independently as the
chimney is installed. When connecting chimney directly to
the fireplace, the inner flue pipe section must be installed first
with the lanced side up. The outer pipe section can then be
installed over the flue pipe section with the hemmed end up.
Press down on each pipe section until the lances securely
engage the hem on the fireplace starter. The wire will assure
the proper spacing between the inner and outer pipe sections.
For Canada, use chimney parts designated “HT”
Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined above,
making sure that both the inner and outer pipe sections are
locked together. When installing double wall “snap lock”
chimney together, it is important to assure the joint between
the chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling chimney
upward after locking. The chimney will not come apart if
properly locked. It is not necessary to add screws to keep the
chimney together (exception – see page 5 figure 9).
INSTRUCTIONS WHEN ELBOW OFFSET (30E-8DM)
OF CHIMNEY IS NEEDED
1. To achieve desired offset, you may install combinations of
12”, 18”, 24”, 36” and 48” length of double wall pipe (SEE
SINGLE OFFSET CHARTAND FIGURE 7).
2. Chimney weight above offset rests on return elbow.
Straps must be securely nailed to rafters or joists (see figure 8,
details a & b).
3. Maximum length of pipe between supports (return elbow
or 12S-8DM) is 6’ of angle run. Maximum of two (2) 6’ angle
run sections per chimney system (see figure 7).
WARNING
: The opening in the collar around the
chimney at the top of the fireplace must not be obstructed.
Never use blown insulation to fill the chimney enclosure.
