INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Consult local building codes before begin-
ning the installation. Only a qualified ser-
vice person should install venting system.
The installer must follow these safety rules:
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for
protection
• Use extreme caution when using ladders
or when on roof tops
• Be aware of electrical wiring locations
in walls and ceilings
The following actions will void the war-
ranty on your venting system:
• Installation of any damaged venting
component
• Unauthorized modification of the vent-
ing system
• Installation of any component part not
manufactured or approved by DESA
International
• Installation other than as instructed by
these instructions
Your fireplace is approved for use with any
listed gas vent. A listed gas vent is a factory
made and listed system designed, and in-
stalled exclusively for removing products
of combustion, excess air, and dilution air
resulting from burning fuel gas. Metal vents,
the most common type of vent, employ
double wall construction enclosing an insu-
lating air space. This air space both helps
keep flue gases warm and reduce heat trans-
ferred to nearby combustibles. This appli-
ance is equipped with a safety control sys-
tem designed to protect against improper
venting of combustion products.
It is very important that the venting system
maintain its balance between the combus-
tion air intake and the flue gas exhaust.
Certain limitations apply to vent configura-
tions and must be strictly followed.
