PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
This vent-free fireplace 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 flames. When used without the blower, the fireplace requires no electricity making it ideal for
emergency backup heat. This heater is designed
for vent-free operation. It has been tested and approved to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard for unvented
heaters. State and local codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free heaters.
111604-01E
www.desatech.com
SAFETY DEVICE
This fireplace 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/pilot system shuts off the fireplace if there is not enough fresh air.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This fireplace has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no matches, batteries, or other sources to
light fireplace.
OPTIONAL BLOWER ASSEMBLY
(GA3700 SERIES & GA3700TA
SERIES)
This fireplace accepts an optional blower assembly (not included). The GA3700T A Series blower
operates thermostatically and features a variable
speed control. The GA3700 Series blower operates manually and also features a variable speed

AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a confined 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 ener gy efficient 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 efficient, 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, fireplaces, 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.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
Continued
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFP A 54, Section 5.3, Air
for Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 5 through 7 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 defined 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
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 ar-
eas such as joints around window and
door frames, between sole plates and
floors, 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
page 7.
If your home does not meet all of the three
criteria above, proceed to

Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space
whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000
Btu per hour (4.8 m
3
per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space
and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu
per hour (4.8 m
3
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 unconfined space.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there
are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW
FOR FIREPLACE LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or
Unconfined Space
Use this work sheet to determine if you have a
confined or unconfined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install
fireplace 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:
(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2,560 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:
,
51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in
the space.
Vent-free fireplace _________ Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* _________ Btu/Hr
Gas furnace _________ Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater _________ Btu/Hr
Gas fireplace logs _________ Btu/Hr
Other gas appliances* + ________ Btu/Hr
Total = ________ Btu/Hr
* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Di-
rect-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors
and vents to the outdoors.

2,560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =
AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
Continued
Example:
Gas water heater _____________ Btu/Hr
Vent-free fireplace _____________ Btu/Hr
Total _____________ Btu/Hr
4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can
support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.
________
________
Example:
Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the space
can support)
73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of
Btu/Hr used)
The space in the example is a confined space because
the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum
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 unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add
ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation
Air From Inside Building.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventila-
tion Air From Outdoors.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, if lower Btu/Hr
size makes room unconfined.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum
Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh
air ventilation.
WARNING: If the area in
which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined
as an unconfined space or if the
building is of unusually tight
construction, provide adequate
combustion and ventilation air
by one of the methods described
in the National Fuel Gas Code,

VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoining
unconfined space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and
one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting
the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 3).
Y ou can also remove door into adjoining room (see
option 3, Figure 3). Follow the National Fuel Gas
