SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and completely before trying to assemble, operate, or service this fireplace. Improper use of this fireplace can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire, explosions, electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

DANGER: Carbon monoxide

poisoning may lead to death!

This fireplace is a vented product. This fireplace will not produce any gas leakage into your home if properly installed. This fireplace must be properly installed by a qualified service person. The glass door must be properly seated and sealed. If this unit is not properly installed by a qualified service person with glass door properly seated and sealed, gas leakage can occur.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea.

WARNING: A qualified service person must install fireplace. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: This fireplace creates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to fireplace. Installing fireplace next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating fireplace where impurities (such as tobacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls.

Determine the safest and most efficient location for your Vanguard B-vent freestanding fireplace. Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the venting system. Choose a location where the heat output is not affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows, or doors. Figure 2 shows some common locations. Read all venting information in this manual. Be aware of all restrictions and precautions before deciding the exact location for your fireplace.

When deciding the location of your fireplace, follow these rules:

1. Do not connect this fireplace to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning fireplace or appliance.

2. Due to high temperatures, do not locate this fireplace in high traffic areas or near furniture or draperies.

3. Proper clearances must be maintained, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 on page 5.

4. This stove is a freestanding unit designed to set directly on the floor. If your fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile, or any combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace. See Figure 5, page 5.

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 fireplace 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.

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 fireplace 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 appy 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 .
