Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve with "T" style handle, gas union and, for propane/LP gas only, a plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from log set (see Figure 4).

IMPORTANT:

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

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 a clogged burner injector.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant

to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in the supply line as shown in Figure 4. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into log set controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, log set may not run properly.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Pilot Assembly Burner Flame Pattern

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE REPLACEMENT PARTS

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper flame height. Alterations may have occurred during shipping and handling. The pilot is located on the back right hand side of the burner.

The thermocouple should be fully enveloped in the flame. The flame should not be lifting off of the thermocouple element.

If your pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:

• Turn the adjustment screw marked pilot clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase the flame to proper size (see Figure 20). Do not remove the adjustment screw.

• see Troubleshooting, pages 13 through 15

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Keep the area around the log set clean and clear of debris.

• Occasionally, you may use a soft bristle brush to clean logs.

• Periodically inspect the air mixer and burner tube for foreign matter blocking the air inlet and flame holes.

• Once every year a qualified agency or certified chimney sweep should examine and clean the venting system of the fireplace.

OBSERVED PROBLEM

Log set is smoking/sooting excessively (

Note:

It is natural and unavoidable for vented gas log sets to produce moderate levels of carbon (soot) where flames contact the logs. This is especially true with propane/LP gas.)

Burner is excessively noisy (

Note:

The movement and combustion of gas will create low, unavoidable levels of noise.)

Burner flame is too low or too high

Remote does not function (GHRC only)

POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY

1. Poor fuel quality

2. Fireplace venting system not drafting properly

3. Excessive flame impingement or blockage

4. Improper fuel/air mixture

5. Excessive gas supply/pressure

1. Passage of air/gas across irregular surfaces

2. Excessive gas pressure on natural gas units

1. Incorrect gas supply or pressure

2. Blocked burner orifice or burner manifold ports

3. Improper burner orifice size

1. Battery is not installed. Battery power is low

1. Contact local natural or propane/LP gas company

2. Adjust damper wide open and/or have fireplace and venting professionally cleaned and checked

3. Separate the logs to allow more flame passage

4. Remove any foreign items from the flame pattern and/or check for proper orifice sizing

5. Preheat flue in very cold weather

1. Relieve any tight bends or kinks in gas supply line

2. Check/reset gas regulator pressure (see

Adjusting Regulator Pressure For Propane/LP Conversion, page 7)

1. Check for proper gas supply pressure

2. Free burner orifice and manifold ports of any burrs, paint, or other blockage

no other warranty, expressed or implied.

LIMITED WARRANTY

VENTED GAS LOGS

DESA International warrants this product to be free from defects on burner system for four (4) years, valves/ controls for one (1) year, and logs for a lifetime 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 log set to proper operating condition and an allowance for labor when provided by a DESA International's Authorized Service Center. Warranty part(s) MUST be obtained through authorized dealers 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 log set 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 log set 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 FOUR (4) YEARS ON BURNER SYSTEM, VALVES/CONTROLS FOR ONE (1) YEAR, AND A LIFETIME ON LOGS 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:
