PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION
WARNING: A qualified ser­vice person must install stove and burner system. Follow all lo­cal codes.
CAUTION: This stove creates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to stove. Installing stove next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating stove where impurities (such as tobacco smoke, aro­matic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls.
LOCATION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efficient lo­cation for your Sun Valley cast iron stove. 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 stove.
When deciding the location of your stove, follow these rules:
1. Do not connect this stove and burner system to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning fireplace or appliance.
2. Due to high temperatures, do not lo­cate this stove 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 stove 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 stove. See Figure 5, page 5.

OWNER’S MANUAL
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.
WARNING: Seal all vent con­nections. Seal only the outer pipe connections with high temperature silicone (600°F/316° C). Before join­ing elbows and pipes, apply a bead of high temperature silicone seal­ant (GE RTV 106/Loctite RTV 81585) to the male end of the elbow or pipe. High temperature silicone must also be used to re-seal any connections after maintenance to venting system.
NOTICE: Failure to follow these instructions will void the warranty.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Consult local building codes before beginning the installation. The installer must make sure to select the proper vent system for installa­tion. Before installing vent kit, the installer must read this stove and burner system manual and vent kit instructions.
Only a qualified installer/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
WARNING: This stove with burner system 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. Each gas appliance must use a separate vent system. Do not use common vent systems.
WARNING: Horizontal sec­tions of this vent system require a minimum clearance of 2" from the top of the pipe and 1" mini­mum to the sides and bottom. Vertical sections of this system require a minimum of 1" clear­ance to combustible materials on all sides of the pipe.
INSTALLATION PLANNING
There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination It is important to select the proper length of
vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also important to note the wall thickness.
For Horizontal Termination: Select the
amount of vertical rise desired. The horizon­tal run of venting must have 1/4" rise for every 12" of run towards the termination.
WARNING: Never run the vent pipe downward as this may cause excessive temperatures which could cause a fire.
You may use one or two 90° elbows in this vent configuration. See Horizontal Termina- tion Configurations on pages 14 and 15.
For Vertical Termination: Measure the dis-
tance from the burner system flue outlet to the ceiling. Add the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second story, and allow for sufficient vent height above the
roofline. You may use one or two 90° elbows in this vent configuration. See Vertical Ter- mination Configurations on pages 17 and 18.
Note:
You may use two 45° elbows in place of a 90° elbow. You must follow rise to run ratios when using 45° elbows.
For two-story applications, firestops are re­quired at each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional pipe and el­bows will be required.
You may use a chase with a vent termination with exposed pipe on the exterior of the house. See Installing Vent System in a Chase, below.
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.
Installing Vent System in a Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose venting that runs along the out­side of a building. A chase is required for such venting.
NOTICE: Treatment of firestops and construction of the chase may vary from building type to build­ing type. These instructions are not substitutes for the require­ments of local building codes. You must follow all local building codes.
Note:
When installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially im­portant in cold climates. Minimum clear­ance between vent pipes and combustible materials such as insulation is 1".

INSTALLATION FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
1. Determine the route your horizontal venting will take. of the horizontal vent termination on the exterior wall must meet all local and national building codes and must not be easily blocked or obstructed.
WARNING: Do not recess vent
terminal into a wall or siding.
Snorkel terminations are available for terminations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior of the building (see Figures 22 and 23). Snorkel kit SVKBK is also available (see page 18). Follow the same installation procedures used for standard horizontal terminations. If installing the snorkel termination below grade (base­ment applications), you must provide proper drainage to prevent water from entering the snorkel termination (see Figure 23). Do not back fill around the snorkel termination.
2. Rigid vent pipes and fittings have spe­cial twist-lock connections. Assemble the desired combination of pipe and el­bows to the appliance adaptor with pipe seams oriented towards the wall or floor.
Twist-lock Procedure: The female ends of the pipes and fittings have four locking lugs (indentations). These lugs will slide straight into matching slots on the male ends of adjacent pipes and fittings. (All connec­tions must be sealed with high tempera­ture silicone sealant as specified in the sec­ond warning statement on page 11.) Push the pipe sections together and twist one sec­tion clockwise approximately one-quarter turn until the sections are fully locked. See Figure 24, page 13. of vent must be supported every three feet. Use wall straps for this purpose.

3. Attach vent pipe assembly to the burner system. Set stove in front of it’s permanent location to insure minimum clearances. Mark the wall for a 10" square hole (for noncombustible ma­terial such as masonry block or con­crete, a 7 1/2" diameter hole is accept­able). See Figure 25. The center of the hole should line up with the center­line of the horizontal rigid vent pipe. Cut a 10"x10" (254mm x 254mm) square hole through combustible ex­terior wall (7 1/2" [190mm] diameter hole if noncombustible). Frame as nec­essary (see Figure 25).

4. Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic around the outside edge of the vent cap. Position the vent cap in the center of the 7 1/2" or 10" hole on the exterior wall with the word “up” on the vent cap facing up. Insure proper clearance of 1" to combustibles is maintained. At­tach the vent cap with four wood screws supplied (see Figure 26).
Note
: Re­place the wood screws with appropri­ate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of siding.
WARNING: Do not recess vent termination in to any wall. This will cause a fire hazard.
For vinyl siding, stucco, or wood exte­rior use vinyl siding standoffs between vent cap and exterior wall. The vinyl sid­ing standoff prevents excessive heat from melting the vinyl siding material. Bolt the vent cap to the standoff. Ap­ply non-hardening mastic around out­side edge of the standoff instead of the vent cap assembly. Use wood screws provided to attach the standoff. See Fig­ure 27.
5. Slide the wall thimble over the vent pipe before connecting the horizontal run to the vent cap (see Figure 28).
6. Carefully move the stove with vent as­sembly attached toward the wall and insert the vent pipe into the horizontal termination. The pipe overlap should be a minimum of 1 1/4". Apply silicone to the outer pipe connection. Fasten all vent connections with screws provided.
7. Slide the wall thimble against the inte­rior wall surface and attach with screws provided (see Figure 28).

INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION
NOTICE: Use rigid pipe only. Flex venting is not to be used with a vertical termination.
1. Determine the route your vertical vent­ing will take. If ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset (see Figure 32) to avoid cutting loadbearing members. cial attention to these installation in­structions for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclo­sures, attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Also note maxi­mum vertical rise of the venting sys­tem and any maximum horizontal off­set limitations. Offsets must fall within the parameters shown in Figure 21 on page 10.
Note:
Pay spe-
2. Set the stove in desired location. Drop a plumb line down from the ceiling to the position of the burner system exit flue. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small locating hole at this point.
Drop a plumb line from the inside of the roof to the locating hole in the ceil­ing. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the roof. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

1. Cut a 10" square hole in the ceiling us­ing the locating hole as a center point. The opening should be framed to 10"x10" (254mm x 254mm) inside di­mensions, as shown in Figure 25 on page 13 using framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joists. If the area above the ceiling is an insulated ceil­ing or a room, nail firestop from the top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling into the required clearance space. Otherwise, install firestop below the framed hole. The firestop should be installed with no less than three nails per side (see Figure 33, page 16).
2. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the burner system flue up through the firestop. All connections must be sealed with high temperature silicone sealant as specified in the second warn­ing statement on page 11. Be sure all pipe and elbow connections are fully twist-locked (see Figure 24, page 13).

If area above is not a room, install firestop below framed hole.
Figure 33 - Installing Firestop
3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating hole as a center point. (Cover any ex­posed open vent pipes before cutting hole in roof.) The 10"x10" hole must be measured on the horizontal; actual length may be larger depending on the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combus­tible materials. Frame the opening as shown in Figure 25 on page 13.
4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole.
Note:
If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you must support the vent pipe every 3 feet. Use wall straps for this purpose (see Figure 32, page 15). Whenever possible, use 45° elbows in­stead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow of­fers less restriction to the flow of the flue gases and intake air.
5. Place the flashing over the pipe section(s) extending through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof and framing with roofing nails. Be sure roofing material overlaps the top edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 32, page 15. There must be a 1" clear­ance from the vent pipe to combustible materials.
6. Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the mini­mum building code requirements de­scribed in Figure 21 on page 10 . You must increase vent height for steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increasing the vent height may solve this problem.
7. Twist-lock the vent cap onto the last section of vent pipe and seal outer pipe connection with high temperature sili­cone sealant as specified in the second warning statement on page 11.
Note:
If the vent pipe passes through any occupied areas above the first floor, including storage spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame and sheetrock the enclo­sure with standard construction material. Make sure and meet the minimum allowable clear­ances to combustibles. Do not fill any of the required air spaces with insulation.
Note
Cathedral Ceiling Installation
1. Remove shingles or other roof cover-
ing as necessary to cut the rectangular hole for the support box. Mark the out­line of the cathedral ceiling support box on the roof sheathing using the locat­ing hole as a center point.
2. Cut the hole 1/8" larger than the sup-
port box outline (see Figure 34).
3. Lower the support box through the hole
in the roof until the bottom of the box extends at least 2" below the ceiling (see Figure 34). Align the support box vertically and horizontally using a level. Temporarily tack the support box in place through the inside walls and into the roof sheathing.
4. Using tin snips, cut the support box from
the top corners down to the roofline and fold the resulting flaps over the roof sheathing (see Figure 35). Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic around the top edges of the support box to make a seal between the box and the roof. Nail in place with roofing nails. Remove any combustible material that might be in­side of the support box.

STOVE AND DIRECT-VENT BURNER SYSTEM INSTALLATION
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the burner system you are installing. If you have conflicting gas types, do not install burner system. See dealer where you purchased the stove and burner system for proper burner system according to your gas type.
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO STOVE/BURNER SYSTEM LOCATION
WARNING: A qualified ser­vice person must connect burner system to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect burner sys­tem directly to the propane/LP supply. This burner system re­quires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regu­lator between the burner system and propane/LP supply.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing stove and burner system, make sure you have the items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• manual shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved flexible gas line with gas con­nector (if allowed by local codes) (not provided)
* An A.G.A. design-certified manual shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Pur­chase the A.G.A. design-certified manual shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP connections only, 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 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure
40. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
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 burner sys­tem. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.
Installation must include a manual 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 burner system (see Figure 41).
IMPORTANT:
(manual shutoff valve) in an accessible lo­cation. The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating manual shutoff valve to stoves.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged burner system valves.
* The A.G.A. design-certified manual shutoff valve may be supplied with the appliance or you can purchase it from your dealer.

Cap Pipe Nipple Tee Joint
Sediment Trap/Drip Leg
CAUTION: Use pipe joint seal­ant that is resistant to liquid pe­troleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure 41. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and burner system. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into burner system gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, burner system may not run properly.

INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.
PILOT ASSEMBLY
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper flame height. Alterations may have occurred during shipping and handling. Call a qualified service person to readjust the pilot if necessary.
The height of the thermopile must be 3/8" to 1/2" above the pilot flame as shown in Figure
63. The thermocouple must be at a height of about 1/8" above the pilot flame. The flame from the pilot burner must extend beyond both the thermocouple and thermopile.
If your pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:
• turn burner system off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 25)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 29 through 31
Thermopile
3/8" to 1/2"

BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or floating. Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on installation type and weather conditions.
If the vent configuration is installed incor­rectly, the flames will lift or "ghost". This can be dangerous. Inspect the flames after installation to ensure proper installation and performance.
Figure 64 shows a typical flame pattern. If burner flame pattern differs from that described:
• turn burner system off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 25)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 29 through 31

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off burner system and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep con­trol areas, burners, and circulat­ing air passageways of burner system and stove clean. Inspect these areas of burner system and stove before each use. Have burner system and stove in­spected yearly by a qualified ser­vice person. Burner system and stove may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.
GLASS DOOR
WARNING: Handle glass door panel with care. Do not strike, slam, or otherwise abuse glass. Do not operate burner system with the glass door removed, cracked, or broken.
WARNING: Do not use abra­sive cleaners as this may damage glass. Use a nonabrasive house­hold glass cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust, and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. During initial start-up a slight film may form on the glass due to paint curing. The glass should be cleaned several times with a non-ammonia, non­abrasive household cleaner and warm water after the first two weeks of operation. There­after, clean the glass two or three times during each heating season, depending on the usage and circumstances present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door on page 23 of this manual when removing glass door for cleaning.
WARNING: Only parts sup­plied by the manufacturer should be used when replacing broken or damaged glass door panel (see
Replacement Parts
glass door panel is a complete unit. No substitute materials may be used.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses while handling or removing broken glass. Do not remove if glass is hot. Keep chil­dren and pets away from glass.
If glass has been broken, carefully remove glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 23). Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if pieces are hot.
Use only the ceramic glass door replace­ment intended for this burner system (see Replacement Parts, page 32 for detail on ordering). No substitutions may be made. See Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 23 for instructions for replacing glass door.
WARNING: Do not operate burner system with the glass door removed, cracked, or broken.

PILOT AND BURNERS
• Remove ember material before cleaning burners and replace when cleaning is complete.
• Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to remove dust, dirt, or lint.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled brush to remove excess dust, dirt, or lint.
LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to
Installing Logs, Lava Rock, and Glowing Embers, page 24, to properly replace logs.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any car­bon buildup on logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replace- ment Parts on page 32.
• Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replacement P arts on page 32.
VENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting system following these guidelines:
1. Check areas of venting system that are
exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust spots or streaks and, in extreme cases, holes). Have these items replaced imme­diately by a qualified service person.
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flash-
light into the vent. Remove any foreign material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive con-
densation. Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and fittings and can be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows, or exterior portions of the system be­ing exposed to cold weather.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sec-
tion or fitting has been disturbed and loosened. Check mechanical supports such as wall straps for rigidity.

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
DIRECT-VENT BURNER SYSTEM
DESA International warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and components for four (4) years 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 stove and burner system 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 International who will provide original factory replacement parts. Failure to use original factory replacement parts voids this warranty. The stove and burner system 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 stove and burner system 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 ALL COMPONENTS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST PURCHASE; AND DESA INTERNATIONAL’S LIABILITY IS HEREBY LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT AND DESA INTERNATIONAL 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:
