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.

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.
