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.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
Continued
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.

Installation Items Needed
Before installing replace insert, make sure you have the items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved exible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes) (not provided)
* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. See Accessories, page 34.
For propane/LP units, 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" of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pres­sure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 13, page 13. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

INSTALLATION
Continued
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Inter­nally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to replace insert. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from replace insert (see Figure 14).
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.
Check your building codes for any special re­quirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to replaces.
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 clogged replace valves.
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 14. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater.
External Regulator
Propane/LP Supply Tank
Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into replace insert gas controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, replace may
not run properly.

OPTIONAL BLOWER
OPERATION
Locate the blower switch by opening lower lou-
ver on replace insert. Blower switch is located at lower left inside louver door.
This thermostat-controlled blower has three settings: ON, OFF and AUTO. In the ON posi­tion, the blower will operate constantly. In the OFF position, the blower will not operate. In the AUTO position, the blower will start when
the thermostat senses a sufcient increase in rebox temperature.
Note: Your gas logs and thermostat blower will not turn on and off at the same time. The
replace insert may run for several minutes
before the blower turns on. After the heater modulates to the pilot position, the blower will continue to run. The blower will shut off after
the rebox temperature decreases. Note: It is safe to operate replace insert with
blower turned off. However, the blower helps distribute heated air from the replace insert.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame pat­terns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 36 shows a correct pilot ame pattern. Figure 37 shows an incorrect pilot ame pattern. The incorrect pilot ame is not properly heating the thermocouple. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.
If pilot ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 37
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli- ance, page 20)
• see Troubleshooting, page 25
Note: The pilot ame on natural gas units will have a slight curve, but ame should be blue and have no yellow or orange color.

BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES
Air is drawn into the burner through the holes in the tting at the burner entrance. These holes may become blocked with dust or lint. Periodically inspect these holes for any blockage and clean if needed. Blocked air holes will create soot.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner ame holes with the heater running. All slotted burner ame holes should be open with yellow ame present. All round burner ame holes should be open with a small blue ame present. Some burner ame holes may become blocked by debris or rust, with no ame present. If so, turn off heater and let cool. Remove blockage, blocked burner ame holes will create soot.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater
and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner and circu­lating air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualied service person. Heater may need more frequent clean­ing due to excessive lint from carpeting, pet hair, bedding material, etc.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.
BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND
PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning ame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air inlet holes prior to each heating season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We recommend that you clean the unit every three months during operation and have heater inspected yearly by a qualied service person.
We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local computer store, hardware store or home center may carry compressed air in a can. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If using com­pressed air in a can, please follow the directions on the can. If you don’t follow directions on the can,
you could damage the pilot assembly.

1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet holes on injector holder for dust and dirt (see Figure 40).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner (see Figure 41).
4. Check the injector holder located at the end of the burner tube again. Remove any large particles of dust, dirt, lint or pet hair with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the
injector holder.
6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.

Burner Tube
Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot ame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot as-
sembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about
2" from where the pilot ame comes out of the pilot assembly (see Figure 41). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.
LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Install­ing Logs, page 17, to properly replace logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dime-sized or larger).
BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES
Air is drawn into the burner through the holes in the tting at the burner entrance. These holes may become blocked with dust or lint. Periodically inspect these holes for any blockage and clean if needed. Blocked air holes will create soot.

WIRING DIAGRAMS

Note: For proper operation of optional accessories, the wires from the switch to the control must be con­nected exactly as shown in Figures 42 and 43.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan­gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
