UNPACkING
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a room or space
unless the required volume of
indoor combustion air is provided
by the method described in the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54,
the
International
Fuel Gas Code,
or applicable
local codes. Read the following
instructions to insure proper fresh
air for this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient
than ever. New materials, 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.
While it is good to make your home energy
efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning ap-
pliances need fresh air for proper combustion
and ventilation.
CAUTION: Do not remove the
data plates from the grate as
-
sembly. The data plates contain
important warranty and safety
information.
1. Remove logs and heater base assembly
from carton.
Note: Do not pick up heater base as-
sembly by burners. This could damage
heater. Always handle base assembly by
the sides of assembly.
2. Remove all protective packaging applied
to logs and heater for shipment.
3. Check heater for any shipping damage. If
heater is damaged call DESA Heating, LLC
at 1-866-672-6040 for replacement parts
before returning to dealer.
PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
This heater is clean burning. It requires no out
-
side venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or
up a chimney. Heat is generated by both realistic
flames and glowing coals. This heater is de
-
signed for vent-free operation with flue damper
closed. It has been tested and approved to ANSI
Z21.11.2 standard for unvented heaters. State
and local codes in some areas prohibit the use
of vent-free heaters. This heater may also be
operated as a vented decorative (ANSI Z21.60)
product by opening the flue damper.
SAFETY DEVICE
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Deple-
tion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The
ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-free
room heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off the
heater if there is not enough fresh air.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This heater has a piezo ignitor. This system re
-
quires no matches, batteries or other sources
to light heater.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers and
fuel burning appliances draw air from the house
to operate. You must provide adequate fresh
air for these appliances. This will insure proper
venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from N
ational Fuel
Gas Code. ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three
following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 6 through 8 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 un
-
usually tight construction, you must provide
additional fresh air.
