PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
This vent-free fireplace 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
flames and glowing embers. When used without the
optional blower, the fireplace requires no electricity
making it ideal for emergency backup heat.
SAFETY DEVICE
This fireplace has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion
Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS/
pilot is a required feature for vent-free room heat-
ers. The ODS/pilot system shuts off the fireplace
if there is not enough fresh air.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This fireplace has a piezo ignitor. This system
requires no matches, batteries, or other sources
to light fireplace.
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL
This fireplace features an infrared wireless remote
control. This control system can be used to auto-
matically light the pilot and adjust the burner flame
height at the push of a button.
WIRED WALL-MOUNTED REMOTE
CONTROL
This fireplace features a two-button wall switch
assembly with glowing LEDʼs. The wall switch
performs the same functions as the wireless hand-
held remote control with the added feature of LEDʼs
for visual feedback of operation and status.
BLOWER ASSEMBLY
This fireplace includes a blower assembly. The
blower operates thermostatically. The blower circu-
lates heated air from the fireplace into the room.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a confined
space or unusually tight construc-
tion unless provisions are provid-
ed for adequate combustion and
ventilation air. Read the following
instructions to insure proper fresh
air for this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.
Todayʼs homes are built more energy efficient
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 effi-
cient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must
enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need
fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, 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.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
Continued
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 classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 5 through 7 will help
you classify your space and provide adequate
ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
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.
Unusually tight construction is defined as
construction where:
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out-
side atmosphere have a continuous
water vapor retarder with a rating of
one perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or
less with openings gasketed or sealed
and
b. weather stripping has been added on
openable windows and doors and
c. caulking or sealants are applied to
areas such as joints around window
and door frames, between sole plates
and floors, between wall-ceiling joints,
between wall panels, at penetrations
for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines,
and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three criteria
above, you must provide additional fresh
air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors,
page 7.
If your home does not meet all of the three
criteria above, proceed to Determining
Fresh-Air Flow for Fireplace Location.
Confined Space and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 defines a confined 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 unconfined 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
unconfined space.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if
there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills
between them.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW
FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or
Unconfined Space
Use this work sheet to determine if you have a
confined or unconfined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install
fireplace 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 18 ft.
(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2880 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: 2880 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =
57,600 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in
the space.
Vent-free fireplace __________ Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* __________ Btu/Hr
Gas furnace __________ Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater __________ Btu/Hr
Gas fireplace 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.

www.desatech.com
113134-01B 7
40,000
33,000
73,000
Example:
Gas water heater _____________ Btu/Hr
Vent-free fireplace + ____________ 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: 57,600 Btu/Hr (maximum the space
can support)
73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of
Btu/Hr used)
The space in the example is a confined 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 unconfined
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 fireplace, if lower Btu/Hr
size makes room unconfined.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum
Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an un-
confined space. You will need no additional fresh
air ventilation.
WARNING: If the area in
which the heater may be oper-
ated is smaller than that defined
as an unconfined space or if the
building is of unusually tight
construction, provide adequate
combustion and ventilation air
by one of the methods described
in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 Section 5.3
or applicable local codes.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
Continued
VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining un-
confined space. When ventilating to an adjoining
unconfined space, you must provide two perma-
nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and
one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting
the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 3). You
can also remove door into adjoining room (see
option 3, Figure 3). 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 floor. 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.

CAUTION: This fireplace
creates warm air currents. These
currents move heat to wall sur-
faces next to fireplace. Installing
fireplace next to vinyl or cloth
wall coverings or operating
fireplace where impurities (such
as, but not limited to, tobacco
smoke, aromatic candles, clean-
ing fluids, oil or kerosene lamps,
etc.) in the air exist, may discolor
walls or cause odors.
Note: Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero
clearance installations. Wall or framing material
can be placed directly against any exterior surface
on the rear, sides, or top of your fireplace, except
where standoff spacers are integrally attached. If
standoff spacers are attached to your fireplace,
these spacers can be placed directly against wall
or framing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings to
create the easiest installation (see Built-In Fire-
place Installation, page 17).
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to
the air. Although this is beneficial, installing fire-
place in rooms without enough ventilation air may
cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See
Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page 5.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the fireplace is level. If
fireplace is not level, log set will not work properly.

For Recessed Installation
If an outlet is not installed in fireplace, install
model GA3555 - Outlet Kit with Cover. This
kit will supply a convenient 3-prong grounded
electrical outlet for power. Refer to installation
manual provided with this optional accessory for
instructions on wiring. Note: A qualified installer
must make all electrical connections.
RELOCATING WALL SWITCH
ASSEMBLY
Note: The decorative wall switch plate supplied
is white. The wall switch plate may be painted to
match your decor.
The push-button switch and decorative wall
plate assembly supplied with your fireplace is
pre-mounted at the factory in the lower cavity of
the fireplace. You may relocate this wall switch
assembly to a more convenient location such as the
side of your mantel or directly onto the wall near
the fireplace. To mount the wall switch assembly,
you must first cut openings in the mantel or wall
where the switch will be located.
Note: If you choose to relocate the wall switch as-
sembly, do so before final installation into a mantel
or recessing into a wall. If you are installing an
optional blower accessory, install it at the same
time you relocate the wall switch assembly.
CAUTION: The wall switch
assembly must never be mount-
ed directly above the fireplace
where heat may damage it. If you
relocate wall switch assembly
from lower fireplace cavity, it
must be mounted either on side
wall of mantel or on wall to side
of fireplace.
For Recessed Installation
If fireplace is to be recessed into a wall (see
Built-In Fireplace Installation, page 17), we
recommend mounting wall switch assembly to
left side of fireplace. The wall switch assembly
should be mounted approximately 12" from left
edge of fireplace, and less than 60" from the floor.
IMPORTANT: Do not locate wall switch assembly
directly in front of wall stud - there must be room
behind wall board for wires from switch. If you
choose to locate wall switch assembly to right side
of fireplace, the length of the cord restricts you to
less than 6" from right edge of fireplace and less
than 48" from floor.
