SAFETY INFORMATION
-
Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the u, with head-
aches, dizziness or nausea. If you have these signs,
the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh
air at once! Have heater serviced. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
These include pregnant women, people with heart
or lung disease or anemia, those under the inuence
of alcohol and those at high altitudes.
Natural and pro-
pane/LP gases are odorless. An odor-making agent
is added to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas
leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade.
Gas may be present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warn-
ings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your
guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

If replace has glass doors, never operate this
heater with glass doors closed. If you operate
heater with doors closed, heat buildup inside re-
place will cause glass to burst. Make sure there are
no obstructions across openings of replace.
9.
This log heater is designed to be smokeless. If
logs ever appear to smoke, turn off heater and
call a qualied service person. Note: During
initial operation, slight smoking could occur
due to log curing and heater burning manufac-
turing residues.
10.
To prevent the creation of soot, follow the instruc-
tions in Cleaning and Maintenance, page 23.
11. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet
cleaner or similar products, turn heater off. If
heated, the vapors from these products may
create a white powder residue within burner
box or on adjacent walls or furniture.
12. This heater needs fresh, outside air ventilation
to run properly. This heater has an Oxygen De-
pletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system.
The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough
fresh air is available. See Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, page 5. If heater keeps shutting
off, see Troubleshooting, page 25.

OpERATION
This heater is clean burning. It requires no outside
venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or up a
chimney. Heat is generated by realistic dancing,
yellow ames. This heater is designed for vent-free
operation with ue damper closed. 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. This
heater may also be operated as a vented decorative
(ANSI Z21.60) product by opening the ue damper
(non-thermostat operation only).
SAFETY pILOT
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Deple-
tion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The
ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-free room
heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there
is not enough fresh air.

Today’s homes are built more energy efcient
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.
UNPACKING
-
1. Remove logs and heater base assembly from
carton. Note: Do not pick up heater base as-
sembly by burners. This could damage heater.
Always handle base assembly by grate.
2. Remove all protective packaging applied to
logs and heater for shipment.
3. Check all items for any shipping damage. If
damaged, promptly inform dealer where you
bought heater.
www.desatech.com 113097-01E6
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 fol-
lowing ventilation classications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconned Space
3. Conned Space
The information on pages 5 through 7 will help
you classify your space and provide adequate
ventilation.
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.

Determining
Fresh-Air Flow for Heater Location
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 denes a conned 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 unconned 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 com-
municating directly with the space in which the
appliances are installed*, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered a part of the
unconned space.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if
there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills
between them.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW
Use this work sheet to determine if you have a
conned or unconned space.
Includes the room in which you will install
replace plus any adjoining rooms with doorless pas-
sageways 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 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft.
(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: 2,560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =
51,200 (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
* 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.
_________
Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
_________
Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the space
can support)
79,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of
Btu/Hr used)
The space in the example is a conned space because
the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum
Btu/Hr the space can support. You must provide ad-
ditional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoin-
ing room. If the extra space provides an unconned
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 replace, if lower Btu/Hr
size makes room unconned.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum
Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an un-
conned space. You will need no additional fresh
air ventilation.
WARNING: If the area in

VENTILATION AIR
This fresh air would come from an adjoining un-
conned space. When ventilating to an adjoining
unconned space, you must provide two perma-
nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and
one within 12" of the oor on the wall connecting
the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 2). You
can also remove door into adjoining room (see
option 3, Figure 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.

one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12"
of the oor. Connect these items directly to the
outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These
spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for
required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet
or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-
controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic
will activate the power vent.

A. If installing appliance on the oor level, you
must maintain the minimum distance of 14"
to combustibles (see Figure 8).
B. If combustible materials are less than 14" to

least 5" above the combustible ooring (see
Figure 9).
OpERATION
Note: When used as a vented heater, appliance
must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning
replace with a working ue and constructed of
noncombustible material.
If your heater is a manually-controlled model, you
may use this heater as a vented product. There
are three reasons for operating your heater in the
vented mode.
1. The replace does not meet the clearance
to combustibles requirements for vent-free
operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-free
operation.
3. You prefer vented operation.
If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you, you
must permanently open chimney ue damper. You
must install the damper clamp accessory (to order,
see Accessories, page 38). This will insure vented
operation (see Figure 10). The damper clamp will
keep damper open. Installation instructions are
included with clamp accessory.

Installation Items Needed
Before installing heater, 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
* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve
with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to
test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA
design-certied equipment shutoff valve from your
dealer. See Accessories, page 38.
www.desatech.com 113097-01E14
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 inches
of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pres-
sure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down
as shown in Figure 14. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
-
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 heater (see Figure 15).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment valve in an acces-
sible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for
turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special re-
quirements 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 heater valves.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap in
supply line as shown in Figure 15. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install
in piping system between fuel supply and heater.
Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not
likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and
contaminants. This keeps them from going into
heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or
is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

pIpING SYSTEM
1. Disconnect appliance with its appliance main
gas valve (control valve) and equipment
shutoff valve from gas supply piping system.
Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig will damage
heater regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment
shutoff valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping by either opening
propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP
gas or opening main gas valve located on or
near gas meter for natural gas or using com-
pressed air.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system.
Apply a noncorrosive leak detection uid to
all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff valve
to gas supply. Check reconnected ttings for
leaks.
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 16).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve for
propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve
located on or near gas meter for natural gas
or using compressed air.
3. Check all joints from gas meter to equipment
shutoff valve for natural gas or propane/LP
supply to equipment shutoff valve for pro-
pane/LP (see Figures 17 and 18). Apply
noncorrosive leak detection uid to all joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.
pRESSURE TESTING HEATER GAS
1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 16).
2. Open main gas valve located on or near gas
meter for natural gas or open propane/LP
supply tank valve.
3. Make sure control knob of heater is in the OFF
position.
4. Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve
to thermostat gas valve (Thermostat-Con-
trolled Models) or to control valve (Manu-
ally-Controlled Models) (see Figures 17 and
18). Apply noncorrosive leak detection uid
to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.

2. Place the base of the middle log (#2) in the
U-shaped slots of the grate base. The cutout
on the right of the middle log should t over
the burner (see Figure 20). Make sure the front
of the middle log is resting on the tabs of the
grate base.
3. Locate pins on the bottom of back log (#3).
Slide these pins into the holes in the grate base
behind the burner (see Figure 21).
4. Locate holes on the bottom of crossover
log (#4). Slide front hole onto the left pin
(CCL3924PTA/NTA or CCL3930PTB/
NTB) or middle pin (CCL3018PA/NA or
CCL3018PTA/NTA) on the middle log (#2)
and the pin on the back log (#3). See Figure

The Seasonal Oak Log Set is a reversible log set.
This means that the two bottom logs may be turned
to face either direction. The top logs, however,
must remain in the same position. Do not modify
logs. Only use logs supplied with heater.
1. Place the back log onto the back of the base as-
sembly. Make sure log sits forward against the
two posts in front of log (see Figure 27). This
log may be turned to face either direction.
2. Place front log onto grate on front of base as-
sembly. The log will t down between grate
ngers and posts on front of base assembly
(see Figure 28). This log may be turned to
face either direction.
3. Place the left and right crossover logs on top
of the back log and front log. Make sure pins
on front and back are inserted into holes on
crossover logs (see Figure 29). Crossover logs
must be placed as shown in Figure 29 or the
holes will not seat onto the pins.
4. Add lava rock around base of heater if desired.
Do not put lava rock on logs or burner.
