PRODUCT FEATURES

OPERATION

This vent-free replace insert is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or up a chimney. Heat is generated by both realistic ames and glowing embers. When used without the blower, the replace insert requires no electricity making it ideal for emergency backup heat.

SAFETY DEVICE

This replace insert has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-free room heaters. The ODS system shuts off the replace insert if there is not enough fresh air.

PIEzO IGNITION SYSTEM

This replace insert has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no matches, batteries or other sources to light replace insert.

BLOWER ASSEMBLY

This replace insert is equipped with a blower assembly. The blower operates thermostatically and has a variable control. The blower circulates heated air from the replace insert into the room. Use of blower is optional.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall

not be installed in a conned space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

Today’s homes are built more energy efcient than ever. New materials, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy efcient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, replaces, clothes dryers and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE

VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classications:

1. Unusually Tight Construction

2. Unconned Space

3. Conned Space

The information on pages 6 through 8 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is dened as construction where:

a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out-

side atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10 less with openings gasketed or sealed

and

b. weather stripping has been added on

openable windows and doors and

c. caulking or sealants are applied to

areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at other openings.

If your home meets all of the three criteria

above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.

If your home does not meet all of the three

criteria above, proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow for Heater Location, page 7.

Conned and Unconned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54

denes a conned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconned space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconned space.

* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Conned or Unconned Space

Use this work sheet to determine if you have a conned or unconned space.

Space: Includes the room in which you will install replace plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.

1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).

Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft.

(volume of space)

Example: Space size 22 ft. (length) x 18 ft.

(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space)

If additional ventilation to adjoining room is

supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.

2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine

the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.

__________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maxi-

mum Btu/Hr the space can support)

Example: 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =

63,360 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in

the space.

Vent-free replace ___________ Btu/Hr

Gas water heater* ___________ Btu/Hr

Gas furnace ___________ Btu/Hr

Vented gas heater ___________ Btu/Hr

Gas replace logs ___________ Btu/Hr

Other gas appliances* + ___________ Btu/Hr

Total = ___________ Btu/Hr

113195-01C 7

www.desatech.com

* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Di-

rect-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the outdoors.

Example:

Gas water heater __________ Btu/Hr

Vent-free replace + _________ Btu/Hr

Total = _________ Btu/Hr

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.

_________

_________ Example: 63,360 Btu/Hr (maximum the space

73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of

The space in the above example is a conned space

because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maxi-

mum Btu/Hr the space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:

A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoin-

ing room. If the extra space provides an unconned space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation

Air From Inside Building, page 8.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventila-

tion Air From Outdoors, page 8.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr replace, if lower Btu/Hr

size makes room unconned.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an un- conned space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
