PRODUCT FEATURES
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 both realistic ames
and glowing coals. 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.
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Deple-
tion Sensing (ODS) safety shut off 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.
This heater has a piezo ignitor. This system re-
quires no matches, batteries or other sources to
light heater.

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.
www.desatech.com 120163-01A6
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.
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 Appliance Location
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 denes a conned space as a space whose vol-
ume 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 communicating 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 odorless 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
appliance plus any adjoining rooms with door-
less 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: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft.
(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 cu. ft.
(volume of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is sup-
plied 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 =
(Maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
Example: 2560 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 appliance _________Btu/Hr
Gas water appliance* _________ Btu/Hr
Gas furnace _________Btu/Hr
Vented gas appliance _________Btu/Hr
Gas replace logs _________Btu/Hr
Other gas appliances* +_________Btu/Hr
Total =_________Btu/Hr

* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances.
Direct-vent draws combustion air from the
outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
Example:
Gas water appliance _________Btu/Hr
Vent-free appliance +_________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)
73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of
Btu/Hr used)
The space in the previous 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 additional fresh air. Your options
are as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an
adjoining 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 Ven-
tilation Air From Outdoors.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr appliance, 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 unconned space. You will need
no additional fresh air ventilation.
WARNING:Iftheareainwhich
in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 Section 5.3
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

replace with a working ue and constructed of
noncombustible material.
For Massachusetts Residents Only: In-
stallation of this vented gas log set in the Com-
monwealth of Massachusetts requires the damper
be permanently removed or welded in the fully
open position.
If your heater is a non-thermostatically-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 26). This will insure vented
operation (see Figure 10). The damper clamp will
keep damper open. Installation instructions are
included with clamp accessory.
See chart on page 12 for minimum permanent ue
opening you must provide. Attach damper clamp
so the minimum permanent ue opening will be
maintained at all times.

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" 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 13. 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 14,
page 14).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in
an accessible location within 6 feet of the appli-
ance. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning
on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
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 14. 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

The ames from the burner travel horizontally
through the log set and emerge at the middle and
rear of the set against the back logs.
The ames are blue off the burner and as they
progress through the log set, change to a light
yellow color, yellow decorative ames are visible
as the ames exit the log set.
The base of the log set and the underside of the
top logs glow red. Natural gas models will burn
with more blue ame, while propane gas model
will burn with bright yellow ame.

INSPECTING bURNERS
Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame pat-
terns often.
Figure 22 shows a correct pilot ame pattern.
Figure 23 shows an incorrect pilot ame pattern.
The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the
thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple
to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater
will shut down.
If pilot ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in
Figure 23, page 19
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli-
ance, page 17)
• see Troubleshooting, page 22
Note: The pilot ame on natural gas units will
have a slight curve, but ame should be blue and
have no yellow or orange color.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater
-
The primary air inlet openings allow the proper
amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides
a clean burning ame. Keep these holes clear of
dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air inlet
openings prior to each heating season. Blocked
air openings will create soot. We recommend
that you clean the unit every three months during
operation and have heater inspected yearly by a
qualied service person.
We also recommend that you keep the burner
tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and
dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using
compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local
computer store, hardware store or home center
may carry compressed air in a can. You can use a
vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If using com-
pressed air in a can, please follow the directions on
the can. If you don't follow directions on the can,
you could damage the pilot assembly.
1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow
the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet
opening on injector holder for dust and dirt
(see Figure 26).

3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in
the burner.
4. Check the injector holder located at the end
of the burner tube again. Remove any large
particles of dust, dirt, lint or pet hair with a
soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air opening on the
injector holder.
6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been
pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.
Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the
pilot ame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot as-
sembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about
two inches from where the pilot ame comes out
of the pilot assembly (see Figure 27). With the
unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole
in the same direction as gas ow. You may blow
through a drinking straw if compressed air is not
available. This hole is accessible from the front
of the unit through an L-shaped hole in the valve
bracket (see Figure 28, page 20).
