SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and completely before trying to assemble, operate, or service this fireplace. Improper use of this fireplace can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire, explosions, electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead

to death!

This fireplace must be installed by a qualified (certified or licensed) service person. It has a sealed gas combustion chamber that uses a coaxial pipe (pipe within a pipe and having the same center) venting system. It brings in fresh air for combustion through the outer pipe and combustion gases are exhausted through the inner pipe. If the glass door assembly and venting pipe are not properly seated, connected, and sealed, carbon monoxide leakage (spillage) can occur.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide

poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the fireplace may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air at once! Have fireplace inspected and serviced by a qualified service person. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An odor-making agent is added to each of these gases. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to these gases can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.

PRODUCT FEATURES PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION

Location and Space Requirements

PRODUCT FEATURES

These are a few facts that can help you understand and enjoy your direct-vent fireplace:

• The venting system may be routed to the outside of your home

in several ways. It may vent through the roof (vertical) or it may vent to an outside/exterior wall (horizontal). The vent pipe installation is very important to allow for proper operation. You must follow the venting instructions very carefully for either vertical or horizontal applications.

• This fireplace may be installed in any room of your house provided

all local codes and these installation instructions are followed.

• This fireplace does not require electricity to operate.

• Only the blower requires electricity if installed and if you plan

to install the blower at a later date, do not forget to wire the outlet at the bottom of the fireplace when framing.

• A piezo ignitor and ceramic electrode create spark to ignite the

pilot light. It does not require any matches, batteries or any other sources of ignition to light the pilot.

• Each time you turn on your fireplace, you may notice some

amount of condensation on the inside of the fireplace glass. This is normal and will disappear after 10-20 minutes of operation.

• Your direct-vent gas fireplace system (fireplace and venting) is a

balanced and sealed gas operating unit. It requires approximately 10-20 minutes of operating time before the flame pattern stabilizes.

PRE-INSTALLATION

• Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero clearance installations. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the back, sides, or top of your fireplace, except where standoff spacers are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to your fireplace, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing material. See framing details on page 5.

• If you plan on installing a television or entertainment center recessed above your fireplace, it is recommended that you maintain a minimum 18" above top of louver opening.

• When locating termination cap, it is important to observe the minimum clearances shown in Figure 7, page 6.

• If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra framing by positioning your fireplace against an already existing framing member.

• Do not recess termination cap into a wall or siding.

• You may paint the termination cap with 450ºF (232ºC) heatresistant paint to coordinate with the exterior finish.

• There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks, or utility buildings within 24" from the front of the termination cap.

• Do not locate termination cap where excessive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to clear vent termination area after snow falls to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, do not direct snow towards vent termination area.

PREPARATION

LOCATION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Determine the safest and most efficient location for your DESA International direct-vent fireplace. Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the venting system. Choose a location where the heat output is not affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors. Figure 2 shows some common locations. Be aware of all restrictions and precautions before deciding the exact location for your fireplace and termination cap.

When deciding the location of your fireplace, follow these rules:

• Do not connect this fireplace venting to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning fireplace or appliance.

• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this fireplace in high traffic areas, windy or drafty areas, or near furniture or draperies.

• Proper clearances must be maintained.

• If your fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile, or any combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace. See Figure 3.

VENTING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation Precautions

NOTICE: Read these instructions completely before attempting installation.

These models are tested and approved for use with DESA International (direct-vent) pipe components and terminations.

The venting system must terminate on the outside of the structure and can not be attached to a chimney or flue system serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. A direct-vent appliance must have its own venting system. DO NOT common vent this appliance.

These models are approved to be vented either horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through a roof or chase enclosure using the following guidelines:

• When venting system terminates horizontally on an outside wall, you must install a standoff if the termination cap is to be installed directly on a combustible finish such as vinyl, wood, stucco, etc.

• Never run the vent downward as this may cause excessive temperatures which could cause a fire.

• V ent pipe air space clearances to combustibles are 1" on all sides except on the horizontal sections, which requires 2" clearance from the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a combustible wall, 1" air space clearance is required.

• Snorkel terminations are required when minimum clearance to grade cannot be met (see Figure 16 on page 11).

• Have fireplace and selected vent components on hand to help determine the exact measurements when elbowing or offsetting. Always use wall firestops when penetrating walls and firestops when penetrating ceilings or attic spaces.

• Install horizontal venting with a 1/4" rise for every 12" of run toward the termination.

NOTICE: Failure to follow these instructions will void the warranty.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• 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 The following actions will void the warranty on your venting

system:

• Installation of any damaged venting component

• Unauthorized modification of the venting system (Do not cut or alter vent components)

• Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved by DESA International

• Installation other than as instructed by these instructions

WARNING: This gas fireplace and vent assembly must be vented directly to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each direct-vent gas appliance must use a separate vent system. Do not use common vent systems.

WARNING: Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles are 1" on all sides except on the horizontal sections, which require 2" clearances from the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates a combustible wall, 1" air space clearance is required.

WARNING: Read all instructions completely and thoroughly before attempting installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:

• Horizontal T ermination

• Vertical Termination

Horizontal Termination Installation

IMPORTANT:

portion of wall firestop. Horizontal installations using round termination require exterior portion of wall firestop available only in vent kit 01491 for V and VV Series or SDHTRK-58 for CHDV Series (see Figure 14, page 10).

1. Set the fireplace in its desired location and determine the route your horizontal venting will take. Do not secure the fireplace until all venting has been installed. Some installations require sliding the fireplace in and out of position to make final venting connections. Figures 14 through 18 on pages 10 through 12 show different configurations for venting with horizontal termination that will help you decide which application best suits your installation. Check to see if wall studs or roof rafters are in the path of your desired venting route. If they are, you may want to adjust the location of the fireplace.

2. Direct vent pipe sections and components are designed with special twist-lock connections.

Twist-Lock Procedure: The female ends of the pipes have

locking lugs (indentations). These lugs will slide straight into matching slots on the male ends of adjacent pipes. Push pipe sections together and twist one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn until the sections are fully locked (see Figure 8). ported every three feet. Use wall straps for this purpose.

3. Use a 45° elbow to connect venting system to fireplace flue collar. The elbow is designed to be twist-locked onto the flue collar as described in step 2. configuration of the elbow by cutting, twisting, bending, etc.

4. Assemble the desired combination of pipe and elbows to the fireplace flue collar. If there are long portions of venting run, pre-assembled pipe sections may be installed as subassemblies for convenience.

5. Carefully determine the location where the vent pipe assembly will penetrate the outside wall. The center of the hole should line up with the center-line of the horizontal vent pipe. Mark the wall for a 10 3/4" x 10 3/4" square hole. Cut and frame the square hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, such as masonry block or concrete, a 8 1/2" hole with zero clearance is acceptable (see Figure 9).

Horizontal square terminations require only inner

6. Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Position the horizontal vent cap in the center of the 8 1/2" round hole and attach to the exterior wall with four wood screws provided. Before attaching the vent cap to exterior wall, run a bead of non-hardening mastic (pliable sealant) around the outside edges to make a seal between it and the outside wall. provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.

Combustible Exterior W all: For vinyl siding, stucco, or wood

exteriors, a siding standoff must be installed between the vent cap and exterior wall. The siding standoff prevents excessive heat from damaging the siding materials. Siding material must be cut to accommodate standoff. Bolt the vent cap to the standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic around outside edge of standoff. Position the standoff/cap assembly in the center of the 10

/4" square hole and attach to exterior wall with wood screws provided (see Figure 11). The siding standoff must sit flush against the exterior fascia material.

7. Slide the wall firestop over the vent pipe before connecting horizontal run to vent cap (see Figure 12).

8. Carefully move fireplace, with vent assembly attached, toward wall and insert vent pipe into horizontal termination. The pipe overlap should be a minimum of 11/4".

joists, roof rafters, or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset (see Figure 19) to avoid cutting load bearing members. lation instructions for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Also note maximum vertical rise of the venting system and any maximum horizontal offset limitations.

2. Set the fireplace in desired location. Drop a plumb line down

from the ceiling to the position of the fireplace exit flue. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

Drop a plumb line from the inside of the roof to the locating hole in the ceiling. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the roof. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

1. Cut a 10 3/4" square hole in the ceiling using the locating hole as

a center point. The opening should be framed to 10 3/4"x10 3/4" (273mm x 273mm) inside dimensions, as shown in Figure 9 on page 8 using framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joists. If the area above the ceiling is an insulated ceiling or a room, nail firestop from the top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling into the required clearance space. Otherwise, install firestop below the framed hole. The firestop should be installed with no less than three nails per side (see Figure 20).

2. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the fireplace flue up through the firestop. Be sure all pipe and elbow connections are fully twist-locked (see Figure 8, page 8).

3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating hole as a center point. (Cover any exposed open vent pipes before cutting hole in roof.) The 10 actual length may be larger depending on the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials. Frame the opening as shown in Figure 9, page 8.

4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole.

Note:

support the vent pipe every 3 feet. Use wall straps for this purpose (see Figure 19). Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow of the flue gases and intake air.

5. Place the flashing over the pipe section(s) extending through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof and framing with roofing nails. Be sure roofing material overlaps the top edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 19. There must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials.

6. Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum building code requirements described in Figure 7 on page 6. steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increasing the vent height may solve this problem.

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION

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

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

Installation Items Needed

Before installing fireplace, make sure you have the items listed below.

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes)

* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your retailer.

For propane/LP connection only, 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 30. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

External Regulator

Vent Pointing Down

Figure 30 - External Regulator with Vent Pointing Down (Propane/LP Only)

Propane/LP Supply Tank

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" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to fireplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

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 fireplace (see Figure 31, page 20).

IMPORTANT:

Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an accessible location. The main gas 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.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant

to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure 31. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and fireplace. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Glass Door

Pilot and Burners

Logs

Venting System

WARNING: Turn off fireplace and let cool before

cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners, 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, bedding material, pet hair, etc.

GLASS DOOR

WARNING: Handle glass door panel with care. Do not strike, slam, or otherwise abuse glass. Do not operate fireplace with the glass door removed, cracked, or broken.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as this may damage glass. Use a nonabrasive household glass cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.

Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass causing lint, 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, nonabrasive household cleaner and warm water after the first two weeks of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three times during each heating season, depending on the usage and circumstances present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 23 of this manual when removing glass door for cleaning.

WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufacturer should be used when replacing broken or damaged glass door panel (see

33). This glass door panel is a complete unit. No substitute materials may be used.

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.

If glass has been broken, carefully remove glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 23). Vacuum all glass pieces with

a shop vac.

Replacement Parts

, page

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if pieces are hot.

Use only the tempered glass door replacement intended for this fireplace (see Replacement Parts, page 33 for detail on ordering). No substitutions may be made. See Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 23 for instructions for replacing glass door.

WARNING: Do not operate fireplace with the glass

door removed, cracked, or broken.

PILOT AND BURNERS

• Remove ember material before cleaning burners and replace when cleaning is complete.

• Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to remove dust, dirt, or lint.

• 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, pages 24 and 25, to properly re-

place logs.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any carbon buildup on logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts on page 33.

• Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replace- ment Parts on page 33.

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. Re-

move any foreign material.

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.

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.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

KEEP THIS WARRANTY

Model Serial No. Date Purchased

Always specify model and serial numbers when communicating with the factory. We reserve the right to amend these specifications at any time without notice. The only warranty applicable is our standard written warranty. We

make no other warranty, expressed or implied.

LIMITED WARRANTY

DIRECT-VENT FIREPLACE

DESA International warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and components for two (2) 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 retailers of this product and/or DESA International 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 ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE TO TWO (2) YEARS ON ALL COMPONENTS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST PURCHASE; AND DESA INTERNATIONAL’S LIABILITY IS HEREBY LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT AND DESA INTERNATIONAL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER INCLUDING INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

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. For information about this warranty write:
