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 Vanguard stove with B-vent burner system 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 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.

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 burner system must be properly connected to a venting system. This burner system 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 .

INSTALLATION OF LISTED B-1 VENT

WARNING: Installation should only be made by qualified persons who are familiar with the safety procedures required for the installation of the product, who are equipped with the proper tools and testing instruments, and who have achieved proper certification of licensing. Installations made by unqualified persons can result in the risk of injury or electrical shock which can be serious or even fatal.

Figures 22 through 24 show other options for the gas vent. When venting through a side wall your vent pipe must have the proper temperature rating (see Figure 24). Manufacturer's clearances must also be maintained. Consult the authority having jurisdiction in your area regarding venting through side wall.

Figure 23 - Vertical Venting Configuration Through Chimney

Figure 24 - Venting Through a Side Wall

INSTALLING VENT SYSTEM IN A CHASE

A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose venting that runs along the outside of a building. A chase is not 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".

CHECKING VENT CAPACITY

Complete all gas piping, electrical, and vent connections. After adjusting the burner system and lighting the main burners, allow a couple of minutes for warm-up. Hold a lighted match just under the rim of the draft hood relief opening. Proper venting will draw the flame toward or into the draft hood. Improper venting, indicated by escape or spillage of burned gas, will cause match to flicker or go out. Smoke from a cigarette will also be pulled into the draft hood if the vent is drawing properly.

CHIMNEYS

• Complete familiarity with chimney condition, height, size, clearance to combustibles and other factors is essential.

NOTICE: Consult the authority having jurisdiction in your area regarding masonry chimney venting applications.

NOTICE: A complete chimney inspection by a qualified person should be performed.

• Appliances using B-vent connectors to vent into a masonry or factory-built chimney should not exceed 1 1/2 feet in length for every inch of connector diameter (3" vent connector has a maximum 4 1/2 foot length; 5" connector has maximum 7 1/2 foot length).

• Oversized chimneys should be relined with appropriate listed relining systems.

• Cleanout access may be required.

RELINING SYSTEMS

• Suitability and approval of relining materials should be determined.

• Condition, size, height, and termination of the chimney to be relined must be determined.

• No substitution of components should be made.

• Joints and connectors should be made according to manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTICE: Consult the authority having jurisdiction in your area regarding listed chimney liner venting applications.

WARNING: Operation of improperly installed and maintained venting system could result in serious injury, property damage, or loss of life.

HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION

Your Vanguard B-vent burner system has been AGA tested and approved for elevations from 0-2000 feet and CGA certified for elevations from 0-4500 feet.

When installing this burner system at an elevation above 2000 feet (in the USA), you may need to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Reduce input 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level. Check with your local gas company for proper orifice size identification and proper orifice for your location.

When installing this stove and burner system at an elevation above 4500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.

CAST IRON STOVE AND BURNER SYSTEM

TROUBLESHOOTING VENTING PROBLEMS

Most venting problems are caused by incorrect vent sizing, improper installation, or inadequate air supply. A preliminary check for a field problem might include:

• Using a draft meter to determine if venting system draft meets manufacturer’s specifications

• Checking the vent sizing according to manufacturer’s specifications, appliance input, and venting configuration

• Examining the entire venting system for faults such as disconnected joints for damaged vent sections

• Making sure vent and air openings are not obstructed

If these procedures do not reveal the source of the problem, troubleshooting may include attention to common venting problems.

FLUE GAS SPILLAGE

Spillage occurs when flue gases cannot exit the vent system and back up into the dwelling. A primary symptom of appliances equipped with a Vent Safety Shutoff System (flue spill switch) is unexplained appliance shutoffs. Other symptoms of flue gas spillage at the draft hood include condensation on walls and windows and/or noticeable odors. Spillage may also result in the release of carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, highly toxic gas. A simple spillage test can be conducted if spillage is suspected. See Checking Gas Connection, pages 14 and 15.

CAUSES OF SPILLAGE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION

Incorrect Vent Sizing

If the vent is too small or too short, spillage may occur. If the vent is too large, excessive dilution air may cool flue gases and reduce draft, causing spillage. The vent cap size should also be checked. Check manufacturer’s instructions, appliance input rating, and appropriate sizing tables.

Venting Condition

Loose joints can affect draft and cause spillage. “Mashed” vent sections and damaged vent caps can restrict flow and cause spillage. Examine and replace as needed.

Obstructions

Small animals or birds may get into and block the vent or draft hood outlet. Dust, lint, and foreign objects may obstruct air inlets. Remove obstructions and clean openings.

Lateral Run

Lengthy hoizontal or non-vertical runs cause resistance to flow and may reduce draft enough to cause spillage. The pitch of lateral runs can also be a problem; lateral runs should be pitched 1/4" rise per foot of horizontal run from the appliance to the vent.

Elbows

Too many elbows cause excessive restriction of flow and may result in spillage. Usually, two 90º turns can be tolerated in a properly sized venting system. More than two may cause problems and necessitate changing the system.

Negative Pressure in the Dwelling

An extremely tight house may not supply adequate combustion and venting air. Use of mechanical exhaust such as a dryer vent or range vent may worsen the problem. An air exchange system must be installed in the dwelling to correct this problem.

Flue Gas Cooling

Venting exposed to extremely cold temperatures or venting of single wall construction loses heat needed to maintain draft; massive masonry chimneys absorb needed heat. If the flue gases cool excessively, draft is reduced and spillage may result. Use proper materials, insulate and protect properly, reline when necessary.

Down Drafts

In certain wind conditions and in certain relationships with nearby structures and objects, high pressure conditions may affect draft negatively. Relocate the vent cap, raise its height, or use an approved high wind cap.

CAST IRON STOVE AND B-VENT BURNER SYSTEM INSTALLATION

NOTICE: This burner system is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this burner system along with your primary heating system.

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• equipment 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 CSA/AGA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA/AGA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

Installation must include an equipment 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 29).

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment 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.

Propane/LP Supply Tank

External Regulator

Vent Pointing Down

Figure 28 - External Regulator with Vent Pointing Down (Propane/LP Only)

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 29. 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.

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, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 28. 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.

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 stove with burner system clean. Inspect these areas of stove and burner system before each use. Have burner system inspected yearly by a qualified service person. Burner system 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 non-abrasive 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-amonia, non-abrasive 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 17 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 17). 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 26 for details on ordering). No substitutions may be made. See Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 17 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 18, to properly replace logs.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any carbon build-up on logs.

• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replace- ment Parts on page 26.

• Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replacement P arts on page 26.

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

flashlight 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.

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.

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 heater 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 heater 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.
