AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This fireplace shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless 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.

Today’ s homes are built more ener gy 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 appliances need fresh air for proper 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.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

Continued

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFP A 54, Section 5.3, 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 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:

a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out-

side atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10 or less with openings gasketed or sealed and

b. weather stripping has been added on

openable windows and doors and

c. caulking or sealants are applied to ar-

eas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

If your home meets all of these three criteria, you must provide additional fresh air. See

doors

, page 8

If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to

Confined and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space whose vol-

ume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m

per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8

per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR FIREPLACE LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.

Space: Includes the room in which you will install fireplace plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.

1. Determine the volume of the space (length x

width x height). Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft.

(volume of space)

Example:

(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 1792 cu. ft. (volume of space)

If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, 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.

__________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maxi-

mum Btu/Hr the space can support)

Example:

35,840 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in

the space. Vent-free fireplace __________ Btu/Hr Gas water heater* __________ Btu/Hr Gas furnace __________ Btu/Hr Vented gas heater __________ Btu/Hr Gas fireplace logs __________ Btu/Hr Other gas appliances* + __________ Btu/Hr Total = __________ Btu/Hr * Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Di-

rect-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

Space size 16 ft. (length) x 14 ft.

Continued

Example:

Gas water heater ______________ Btu/Hr Vent-free fireplace ______________ Btu/Hr Total ______________ Btu/Hr

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.

________ ________

Example:

Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support) Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used) 35,840 Btu/Hr (maximum the space

can support) 40,000 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:

A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoin-

ing room. If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation

Air From Inside Building.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventila-

tion Air From Outdoors.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, if lower Btu/Hr

size makes room unconfined.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconfined space. Y ou will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

WARNING: If the area in which the fireplace may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: This appliance requires a 45° male flare fitting 5/8"18 UNF (Unified National Fine Thread) inlet connection and the flexible gas line provided.

WARNING: A qualified service person must connect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see Figure 20).

IMPORTANT:

an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to fireplaces.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged fireplace valves.

Install equipment shutoff valve in

WARNING: Never connect natural gas fireplace to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

IMPORT ANT:

before connecting fireplace to gas line. Gas line pressure must be no greater than 14 inches of water. If gas line pressure is higher, heater regulator damage could occur .

For natural gas, check gas line pressure

CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This fireplace requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the fireplace and propane/LP supply.

For propane/LP units, the 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 19. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain 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.

www.desatech.com 111244-01C

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

OPERATING FIREPLACE

Continued

Note:

Do not lea ve the hand-held remote in the

AUTO mode close to the f ireplace. The radiant heat from the fireplace will turn off the fireplace. Ideally, place the hand-held re mote in the center of the room facing towards the fireplace.

Note:

Do not hold the hand-held remote for a long time. Body temperature will affect its operation in the AUTO mode.

Safety Features

When away from home for an extended period of time or as a child safety feature to prevent accidental ignition of the fireplace, the receiv er ON/OFF/REMOTE switch should be in the OFF position.

Auto Shutoff Feature

1. If the average room temperature exceeds

82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Centigrade), the hand-held remote control will perform a safety override and shut the fir eplace off. This feature is not a vailable in the MANU mode.

2. The receiver continuously receives signals

from the hand-held remote to control the room temperature. If the hand-held remote is misplaced, obstructed, or for any reason cannot transmit to the receiver , the r eceiver will shut off the fireplace after 8 minutes.

Key Pad Lock Feature

This feature allows the user to lock/unlock the keypad on the hand-held remote in the MANU or AUTO mode to prevent inadvertent operation (i.e. children operating the hand-held remote control, etc.). The keypad is locked in either on or off. Press the POWER and LOCK buttons together to turn the unit on or off.

OPTIONAL GWMT1 WALL MOUNTED THERMOSTAT

Make sure the heater switch is on AUTO and set the temperature adjustment on wall thermostat to the desired setting. The thermostat has been electronically calibrated at the factory and requires no adjustment or leveling.

Upon installation, the thermostat must be allowed to stabilize at room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes for proper operation. See installation instructions on pages 19 and 20.

OPTIONAL GWMS2 WALL

MOUNTED SWITCH

Make sure the heater switch is on A UTO. This wall switch works just like the conventional light switch. Flip the switch up for on and down for off.

Note:

Make sure that this switch is not in a position to be mistaken for a light switch. This may result in the fireplace being inadvertently tur ned on without the proper precautions being taken. See installation instructions on pages 19 and 20.

OPERATING

BLOWER

Note:

Your fireplace and thermostat blower will not turn on and off at the same time. The fireplace may run for several minutes before the blower turns on. After the heater modula tes to the pilot position, the blower will continue to run. The blower will shut off after the firebox temperature decreases.

Note:

It is safe to operate fireplace with blower turned off. However, the blower helps distribute heated air from the fireplace.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 46 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 47 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching 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 47

• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli- ance, page 22 for Thermostat-Controlled Models or page 24 for Remote-Ready Models)

• see Troubleshooting, pages 29 through 32

Note:

The pilot flame on natural gas units will have a slight curve, but flame should be blue and have no yellow or orange color.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner, and circulating air passageways of fireplace clean. Inspect these areas of fireplace before each use. Have fireplace inspected yearly by a qualified service person. Fireplace may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, pet hair, bedding material, etc.

WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.

CLEANING BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE

The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning flame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, lint, and pet hair. Clean these air inlet holes prior to each heating season. Blocked air holes will

create soot. We recommend that you clean the unit every three months during operation and have fireplace inspected yearly by a qualified service person.

We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Y our local computer store, hardware store, or home center may carry compressed air in a can. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If using compressed air in a can, please follow the directions on the can. If you don't follow directions on the can, you could damage the pilot assembly.

1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.

2. Inspect burner, pilot, and primary air inlet holes on injector holder for dust and dirt (see Figure 50).

3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.

4. Check the injector holder located at the end of the burner tube again. Remove any large particles of dust, dirt, lint, or pet hair with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.

5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector holder.

6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.

Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about two inches from where the pilot flame comes out of the pilot assembly (see Figures 51 or 52 depending on model). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.
