SAFETY INFORMATION

This replace must be installed by a qualied (cer-
tied or licensed) service person. It has a sealed
gas combustion chamber that uses a coaxial pipe
(pipe within a pipe and having the same center)
venting system. It brings in fresh air for combus-
tion through the outer pipe and combustion gases
are exhausted through the inner pipe. If the glass
door assembly and venting pipe are not properly
seated, connected, and sealed, carbon monoxide
leakage (spillage) can occur.
Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the u, with
headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these
signs, the replace may not have been installed
properly. Get fresh air at once! Have replace
inspected and serviced by a qualified service
person. 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.
Propane/LP and
natural 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 warnings.
Keep this manual for reference. It is your guide to
safe and proper operation of this replace.

PRODUCT
IDENTIFICATION
PRODUCT FEATURES
These are a few facts that can help you understand
and enjoy your direct-vent replace:
• The venting system may be routed to the outside
of your home in several ways. It may vent through
the roof (vertical) or it may vent to an outside/exte-
rior wall (horizontal). The vent pipe installation is
very important to allow for proper operation. You
must follow the venting instructions very carefully
for either vertical or horizontal applications.
• This replace may be installed in any room of
your house provided all local codes and these
installation instructions are followed.

installation
• The blower requires electricity if installed and
if you plan to install the blower at a later date,
do not forget to wire the outlet at the bottom of
the replace when framing.
• The electronic ignition creates spark to ignite
the pilot light. It does not require any matches,
batteries or any other sources of ignition to light
the pilot.
• Each time you turn on your replace, you may
notice some amount of condensation on the in-
side of the replace glass. This is normal and will
disappear after 10-20 minutes of operation.
• Your direct-vent gas replace system (replace
and venting) is a balanced and sealed gas op-
erating unit. It requires approximately 10-20
minutes of operating time before the ame
pattern stabilizes.
PRE-INSTALLATION
PREPARATION
LOCATION AND SPACE
REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efcient location
for your DESA direct-vent replace. 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. Be aware of all restrictions and
precautions before deciding the exact location for
your replace and termination cap.
When deciding the location of your replace,
follow these rules:
• Do not connect this replace venting to a chim-
ney ue serving a separate solid-fuel burning
replace or appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this
replace in high trafc areas, windy or drafty
areas or near furniture or draperies.
• Proper clearances must be maintained.
• If your replace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, vinyl tile or any combustible mate-
rial other than wood, it must be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the replace. See Figure 3.
• Your replace is designed to be used in zero clear-
ance installations. Wall or framing material can be
placed directly against any exterior surface on the
back, sides or top of your replace, except where
standoff spacers are integrally attached. If standoff
spacers are attached to your replace, these spac-
ers can be placed directly against wall or framing
material. See framing details on page 6.
• If you plan on installing a television or enter-
tainment center recessed above your replace, it
is recommended that you maintain a minimum
18" above top of louver opening.
• When locating termination cap, it is important
to observe the minimum clearances shown in
Figure 7, page 7.
• If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra
framing by positioning your replace against
an already existing framing member.
• Do not recess termination cap into a wall or
siding.
• You may paint the termination cap with 450º F
(232º C) heat-resistant paint to coordinate with
the exterior nish.
• There must not be any obstruction such as bushes,
garden sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings
within 24" from the front of the termination cap.
• Do not locate termination cap where excessive
snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to
clear vent termination area after snow falls to
prevent accidental blockage of venting system.
When using snow blowers, do not direct snow
towards vent termination area.
