INFORMATION
WARNINGS
IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s
manual carefully and completely
before trying to assemble, operate,
or service this furnace. Improper
use of this furnace can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire,
explosion, electrical shock, and
carbon monoxide poisoning.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs
of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the furnace may
not be working properly. Get fresh air atonce! Have furnace serviced. 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

Providing Gas Piping to Furnace
You must provide gas piping from gas source to furnace. The gas piping must be in a vertical
position where it connects to the furnace. This prevents interference with front cover
installation.
Consult your local gas company for proper routing of the gas lines.
Pipe size is determined by the length of pipe from the gas source to the furnace and the total
BTU load on the gas source.
Add the total BTUs required for all appliances connected to the gas source including this furnace.
Divide this number by 2500. This will give you the approximate cubic feet per hour needed.
Example:
40,000 BTU/Hr
+ 15,000 BTU/Hr for other gas appliances
55,000 BTU/Hr total
55,000 ÷ 2500 = 22
Locate 22 or higher on chart below.
According to the chart below, you should use 40 feet or less of 3/8" pipe, 125 feet
Check gas line pressure at gas meter before connecting furnace to gas line. Gas
line pressure must be no less than 11 inches of water and no greater than 13 inches of water.
Gas pressures and input to the burners must not exceed the rated input and pressure shown on
the rating plate. For propane/LP gas, manifold pressure should be 10 inches of water. For
elevations above 2000 feet, reduce rating 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level (U.S.A. only).
CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the propane/LP supply.
This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the
external regulator between the heater and propane/LP supply.
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, heater regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down. Pointing the vent down protects it from
freezing rain or sleet.

Unsafe operation could result.
CAUTION: Do not block circulating air openings in the louver of the front cover. This is
necessary for furnace to operate
properly.
NOTICE: If operating furnace for
the first time, a slight odor will
occur. This odor will go away
after a few hours of operation.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE
LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a
fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal
injury, or loss of life.
A. This appliance does not have a pilot.
It is equipped with an ignition device
which automatically lights the
burner . Do not try to light the burner
by hand.
B. BEFORE OPERATING smell all
around the appliance area for gas. Be
sure to smell next to the floor because
some gas is heavier than air and will
settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL
GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do
not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor’s phone. Follow
the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
C. Use only your hand to turn the
handle on the equipment shutoff
valve. Never use tools. If the handle
will not turn by hand, don’t try to
repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair
may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part
has been under water. Immediately
call a qualified service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace
any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Always follow
lighting instructions. Never attempt to light burner with a match
or butane torch.
1.STOP! Read the safety information,
column 1.
2.Set the thermostat to lowest setting.
3. Turn off all electric power to the
furnace.
4.T urn equipment shutoff valv e clockwise to OFF position (see
Figure 18).
5.Wait f ive (5) minutes to clear out any
gas. Then smell for gas, including
near the floor. If you smell gas,
STOP! Follow “B” in the safety information, column 1. If you don’t
smell gas, go to next step.
6.Turn equipment shutoff valve counterclockwise to ON position
(see Figure 18).
7.This furnace is equipped with an ignition device which automatically
lights the burner. Do not try to light
the burner by hand.
8.Plug in furnace.
9.Set thermostat to desired setting. If
thermostat is set above room temperature, the blower will come on.
10. Allow approximately 45 seconds for
ignition to occur. When ignition occurs, the glo-bar will stay on for a
short period of time. The flame sensing probe will sense the burner flame
and shut off glo-bar.
If ignition does not occur within 22
seconds, the ignition control will attempt to light burner three times. This
will take about two minutes. If ignition does not occur, the ignition control will lock out the glo-bar and valve
circuit. Air in the gas line or a short
gas interruption will prevent furnace
from igniting. If this happens, turn
thermostat off and wait 5 minutes.
T urn the thermostat back on. The fur nace will try to ignite again.
11. If the furnace still does not ignite, follow instructions To Turn Off Gas toFurnace, page 13. Call a qualified

THERMOSTAT
CONTROL
OPERATION
The thermostat responds to the room temperature. When the room temperature drops
below the thermostat setting, the thermostat
turns the furnace burner and blower on.
When the room temperature goes above the
thermostat setting, the thermostat turns the
furnace burner off. The blower will continue to blow about two to three minutes
after the burner goes out. The thermostat
keeps the room at a constant temperature.
INSPECTING
BURNER FLAME
To observe burner flame, remove furnace
front cover. Remove the two screws at the
lower edges of front cover. Lift front cover
away. Locate viewing window on front of
combustion chamber. You can see burner
flame through this window.
Correct Burner Flame: Blue flame with
well-defined burner ports.
Incorrect Burner Flame: Yellow or lazy
flame without well-defined burner ports.
If burner flame is incorrect, shut off furnace
and contact a qualified service person.

NORMAL
OPERATING
SEQUENCE
1.When the room temperature drops below
the thermostat setting, the thermostat calls
for heat. A 24-volt circuit is completed
through the time delay relay coil. After
three to five seconds, the contacts in the
relay close. The blowers come on.
2.One motor drives both the combustion
air blower and the circulating room air
blower. The combustion air blower
draws air from outside through the intake air vent. This air discharges into
the combustion chamber. The combustion air blower then forces the combustion products out of the exhaust tube(s).
The Combustion air blower is sealed
so that air does not pass between it and
the circulating room air blower.
3.When the blower motor reaches 75% of
normal r.p.m. (three to five seconds), air
from the blower turns on the
microswitch. When the microswitch
activates, the electrical circuit is completed through the limit switch to the
control module. The glo bar begins to
glow. In about 15 seconds, the glo bar
becomes hot enough to ignite the burner.
4.Another 24-volt circuit is completed
through the module to the main gas
valve. The valve opens. Gas passes
through the valve to the main burner.
The gas is ignited by the glo bar.
5.After the main burner ignites, the flame
detector senses the presence of flame.
This opens the circuit to the glo bar.
The glo bar shuts down.
6.The circulating room air blower pulls
return air in from the living area. This
air is heated as it flows past the combustion chamber. The heated air is then
blown out into the room.
7.When the room temperature rises above
the thermostat setting, the circuit to the
valve opens and the burner shuts off.
8.The blower continues to run about two to
three minutes until the time delay relay
coil cools. When the coil cools, the circuit
to the motor opens. The blower shuts off.
LIMIT SWITCH
WARNING: Do not operate
furnace without a properly working limit switch.
The limit switch will turn off the gas to the
main burner if the furnace becomes too hot.
When this happens, the main burner will go
out and the blower will continue to run for
two to three minutes. This usually happens
when circulating air is partially or completely blocked.
Occasional cycling of the limit switch is not
bad. This indicates safe operation. Limit
switch cycling will most likely occur on
warm days. If this happens too often or for
a long period of time, the circulating air
system should be thoroughly cleaned by a
qualified service person.
If the circulating air system is cleaned and
the limit switch continues to shut down the
furnace, the limit switch is defective. A
defective limit switch cannot be repaired. It
must be replaced. For safety reasons, never
operate the furnace without a limit switch.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off and unplug furnace and let cool before
cleaning. Turn equipment shutoff
valve to OFF position. Only a
qualified service person should
service and repair furnace.
WARNING: Keep furnace clear
and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
CAUTION: You must keep
control areas, burner, and circulating air passageways of furnace
clean. Inspect these areas of furnace before each use. Have furnace inspected yearly by a qualified service person. Furnace may
need more frequent cleaning due
to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, pet hair, etc.
CAUTION: Label all wiring
prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can
cause improper and dangerous
operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
CABINET
Air Passageways
• Use a vacuum cleaner or pressurized air
to clean.
Exterior
• Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild
soap and water mixture. Wipe cabinet
and front cover to remove dust.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust
from front cover louvers.
EXHAUST AND INTAKE VENTS
Make sure the exhaust and intake vents are
not blocked. The intake combustion air and
the exhaust gases must be expelled to the
outside. Have a qualified service person clean
dirt and loose debris from vents annually.
GASKETS
Inspect all gaskets. If any gaskets show
signs of leakage or damage, replace them.
Safe operation of furnace depends on all
gaskets being tight.
FRONT COVER
Remove anything that may be blocking the
air to the louvers of the front cover.
COMBUSTION CHAMBER
AND MAIN BURNER
Check flame pattern of main burner often
(see Inspecting Burner Flame, page 13).
Have combustion chamber and main burner
cleaned if you have run the furnace with a
high yellow flame. Incomplete combustion
from lack of air causes the yellow flame.
This deposits soot inside the combustion
chamber and on the burner. Contact a qualified service person to clean combustion
chamber and main burner.
OUTSIDE VENT CAPS
Inspect outside vent caps for obstructions or
soot. If soot is found, do not use furnace.
Contact a qualified service person to clean
furnace.

IGNITION FAILURES
WARNINGS:
• Never connect unit or ignition
circuit to 230 volts.
• Never operate unit with glo bar
touching burner or any other
ground. Damage to ignition
control will occur.
• Be sure sensor probe never
touches glo bar. This will damage ignition control.
• If the ignition control is defective, it must be replaced. It is
not field-repairable.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to
repair the ignition control. This
may alter it and cause it to operate incorrectly.
The electronic system is made up of two
parts: the ignition control and the glo bar.
The ignition control is the brain of the electronic system. It has several functions:
1.When the blower reaches full r.p.m., a
24-volt circuit is completed to the ignition control. (Check across yellow
and orange wires.)
2.The red and blue wires at the ignition
control are the 120-volt input for the
glo-bar circuit. When the 24-volt circuit is completed, the ignition control
will complete the 120-volt circuit to the
glo bar and it begins to glow. (Check
this circuit across the two white wires
at the ignition control.)
3.After approximately 20 seconds, a 24volt circuit is completed through the ignition control to the gas valve. (This circuit is checked from brown wire at ig-
www.desatech.com
16
nition control to a neutral ground.) This
circuit opens the valve, gas flows to the
burner and is ignited by the heat from
the glo bar.
4.When the burner flame is established,
the sensing probe will sense the presence of burner flame and open the globar circuit. The glo bar will then stop
glowing.
It is important to determine the type of
problem being experienced. Then the proper
checkout procedure can be made. The following is a list of problems, how to identify
in which area the problem is located, and
how to correct it.

LIMITED WARRANTY
DYNAVENT GAS WALL FURNACE
DESA International warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and components for one (1) year and five (5) years on the
combustion chamber/heat exchanger assembly 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 only the cost of part(s) required to restore this furnace
to proper operating condition. 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 furnace
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 furnace 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 ONE (1) YEAR 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.
