Check the rating plate to verify the type of gas your

appliance is equipped for use with. The rating plate

can be found on the metal instruction tag attached

to the chimenea burner pan. If your appliance is

not equipped for the supply gas available, call

the dealer where you purchased the chimenea to

obtain a properly equipped model or an approved

conversion kit for your type of gas supply.

Propane/LP gas versions are supplied with a two

stage external regulator with a 10 foot (3 m) hose

assembly for ready connection to a properly sized,

(DOT or CAN/CSA B339) approved propane/LP

supply tank. This tank can be purchased from

your propane/LP or builder supplier. See Sizing

Propane/LP Supply Tank, page 10.

Natural gas versions must be provided with an

equipment shutoff valve installed in the supply

line upstream of the manual control valve provided

with the chimenea. A model GA5010 gas equip-

ment shutoff valve with a 1/8" NPT pressure tap

may be purchased through your dealer. See Con-

necting to Natural Gas Supply, page 9.

When locating this appliance, follow all safety

information on pages 2 through 4.

Do not use this appliance indoors. It is for outdoor

use only. When locating this appliance under wood

or noncombustible overhangs, the chimenea cap

must be in place and the specied clearances must

be maintained (see Figure 2, page 7).

Any types of materials other than wood or non-

combustible masonry surfaces could be damaged

or set on re.

Maintain proper clearances from combustible

materials.

• Make sure combustible materials such as trees

and fabrics are at least 10 feet (3 m) above the

chimenea cap.

• Maintain a minimum of 4 feet (1.3 m) of

clearance between the top of the vent cap and

any overhead combustible material (second

story balcony or deck, patio overhang such as

uncovered lattice or lanai).

Note: The chimenea will produce some sooting.

It is advisable to locate the chimenea away from

any overhanging.

• Make sure all combustible materials such as

shrubs, furnishings, and fabrics are at least

36" (1 m) from the sides and in front of the

chimenea opening.

• Maintain a minimum 12" (30 cm) clearance

from the widest point on the sides and back of

chimenea base to any combustible materials

such as wood, vinyl siding, or masonry con-

struction, and 36" (1 m) in front of the chimenea

opening.

Make sure to locate appliance, gas hose, and rigid

supply lines out of trafc areas to prevent tripping

and accidental damage to the chimenea and supply

connections.

For natural gas units, a minimum 1/2" (13 mm)

diameter or greater rigid black iron supply line

must be provided down stream from gas meter and

at above ground location of outdoor appliance.

Special code provisions apply to outdoor piping

when installed above ground and underground. All

outdoor gas piping must be installed and protected

in accordance with local code and in absence of

local code with Part 3 of the National Fuel Gas

Codes ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 (U.S.) or CAN/CSA

B149 Installation Codes (Canada).

A flexible gas line and an equipment shutoff

valve with pressure test point must be provided

upstream of manual control valve provided with

the chimenea.

A model GA5010 equipment shutoff valve with a

1/8" NPT pressure tap may be purchased through

your dealer. See Accessories, page 17.

A model GA5080 3/8" exible supply line may be

purchased through your dealer. See Accessories,

page 17.

IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve at

an accessible point in the supply line ahead of the

exible connection. The equipment shutoff valve

is for shutting off the gas to the appliance when

a leak occurs between the supply connection and

the manual control valve.

Codes require that a 3" (77 mm) minimum drip

leg or sediment trap be installed in the supply line

nearest the inlet of the appliance. If not already

provided at the outlet of gas meter, check with

local codes as to whether a drip leg or sediment

trap need be provided (see Figure 8).

pane/LP tank, when evacuating at lower outdoor

temperatures, can cause a condition known as “va-

por lock” to occur. Vapor lock prevents vaporized

fuel from reaching the burner system.

It is important to use a cylinder size based on an

input rate higher than 45,000 Btu/Hr at the lowest

expected outdoor ambient temperature to insure

vaporization of fuel.

The second table (Figure 11) indicates the maxi-

mum Btu content of a full cylinder and can be used

to calculate the approximate operating hours.

Example:

20 pounds propane/LP = 431,200 Btu’s

431,200 Btu ÷ 45,000 Btu/Hr = 9.5 Hours

1. Spread ash bed material (vermiculite) evenly

across burner pan and smooth it to height of

burner pan edges.

2. Apply approximately 1" (2.5 cm) size pieces

of ember material evenly over top of ash bed

material. Apply only enough to cover the

entire surface area of the pan. Applying exces-

sive amounts will only diminish the glowing

effect of the embers.

Spread lava rock evenly around front and sides of

Log set is smoking/sooting

excessively

(Note: It is natural and unavoid-

able for vented gas log sets to

produce moderate levels of car-

bon (soot) where ames contact

the logs. This is especially true

with propane/LP gas.)

Burner is excessively noisy

(Note: The movement and com-

bustion of gas will create low,

unavoidable levels of noise.)

Burner ames are too low or

too high

LIMITED WARRANTY

DESA warrants this product to be free from defects on burner system and logs for one (1) year from the date of rst

purchase, provided that the product has been properly installed, operated and maintained in accordance with all ap-

plicable instructions. To make a claim under this warranty the Bill of Sale or cancelled check must be presented.

This warranty is extended only to the original retail purchaser. This warranty covers the cost of part(s) required to

restore this log set to proper operating condition and an allowance for labor when provided by a DESA Authorized

Service Center. Warranty part(s) MUST be obtained through authorized dealers of this product and/or DESA who

will provide original factory replacement parts. Failure to use original factory replacement parts voids this war-

ranty. The log set MUST be installed by a qualied installer in accordance with all local codes and instructions

furnished with the unit.

This warranty does not apply to parts that are not in original condition because of normal wear and tear, or parts

that fail or become damaged as a result of misuse, accidents, lack of proper maintenance or defects caused by

improper installation. Travel, diagnostic cost, labor, transportation and any and all such other costs related to

repairing a defective log set will be the responsibility of the owner.

TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY THE LAW OF THE JURISDICTION THAT GOVERNS THE SALE

OF THE PRODUCT; THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY EXCLUDES ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESSED

WARRANTIES AND LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUD-

ING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE TO ONE

(1) YEAR ON BURNER SYSTEM AND LOGS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST PURCHASE; AND DESA’S

LIABILITY IS HEREBY LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT AND DESA SHALL

NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER INCLUDING INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL

OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Some states do not allow a limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or an exclusion or limitation of

incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation on implied warranties, or exclusion or limitation on

damages may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specic legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.

For information about this warranty write:
