VENTING INSTALLATION
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. Operation of improperly in­stalled and maintained venting sys­tem could result in serious injury, property damage, or loss of life.
NOTICE: Failure to follow these instructions will void the warranty.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Consult local building codes before begin­ning the installation. Only a qualified ser­vice person should install venting system. The installer must follow these safety rules:
• 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
• Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved by DESA International
• Installation other than as instructed by these instructions
Your burner system is approved for use with any listed gas vent. A listed gas vent is a factory made and listed system designed, and installed exclusively for removing products of combus­tion, excess air, and dilution air resulting from burning fuel gas. Metal vents, the most com­mon type of vent, employ double wall con­struction enclosing an insulating air space. This air space both helps keep flue gases warm and reduce heat transferred to nearby combus­tibles. This appliance is equipped with a safety control system designed to protect against improper venting of combustion products.
Continued
CAST IRON STOVE AND BURNER SYSTEM
VENTING INSTALLATION
Continued
It is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combus­tion air intake and the flue gas exhaust. Certain limitations apply to vent configura­tions and must be strictly followed.
WARNING: This gas stove with burner system 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.
TYPE B-VENT INSTALLATION (Listed B-0 or Greater)
Before beginning installation be sure that the overall height and gas vent size conform to building code requirements. Gas vents ex­tending through pitched roofs can extend a minimum height of at least 600 mm (2') higher than any obstruction within 3m (10'). Gas vents extending through flat roofs are required to extend at least 600 mm (2') above the roof and at least 600 mm (2') higher than any portion of the building or adjoining build­ing within 3m (10') of the gas vent.
• Venting instruction contained in this manual may or may not apply to your area. Consult your local authority for re­quirement in your area.
• Where the gas vent extends through ac­cessible spaces, it should be enclosed to avoid personal contact and damage. En­closure walls should have a fire rating equal to or greater than the floors through which the gas vent passes except in single or two-family dwellings.
• Situate the gas vent in the structure so that it can be installed without cutting joists, sills, plates, or major load bearing partitions or members. It is also impor­tant to locate the base of the gas vent as near as possible to the heating appliance.
• This heater must be properly connected to a venting system. This heater is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system.
• Use only vents labeled "FOR EXTE­RIOR USE" above the roofline.
• Consult the authority having jurisdic­tion to select the correct gas vent di­ameter. Avoid using a larger than nec­essary diameter.
