CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

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

Installation Items Needed

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

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to Propane/LP gas)

• equipment shutoff valve

• test gauge connection

• adjustable (crescent) wrench or pliers

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

Installation must include a 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 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 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.

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.

LIGHTING

INSTRUCTIONS

1. STOP! Read the safety information, above.

2. Turn the gas shutoff valve to OFF.

3. W ait f ive (5) min utes to clear out any gas. If you then smell

gas STOP! Follow the safety inf ormation above. If you don't smell gas, go on to the next step.

4. Light a match and lay it on top of the pan material about

2" from the end of the supply side of the pan

5. Slowly turn the gas shutoff valve ON until the burner ig-

nites. If the burner doesn’t ignite within 10 seconds with the match burning, turn the shutoff v alv e OFF and r epeat steps 1 through 4 again.

CURING

LOGS

During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in period, you may detect an odor from the appliance as the various paints and compounds used in the manufacturing of this log set cure. This is a normal and temporary situation that is not cause for alarm. However, you may want to provide extra ventilation to the room during this time.

To ensure proper curing of the logs:

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 - VENTED GAS LOGS

DESA warrants this product to be free from defects on burner system for four (4) years 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 Authorized Service Center. Warranty part(s) MUST be obtained through authorized dealers of this product and/or DESA 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 AND A LIFETIME ON LOGS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST PURCHASE; AND DESA’S LIABILITY IS HEREBY LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT AND DESA 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:
