AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined space unless provisions are pro- vided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the fol- lowing instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

Today’s homes are built more energy effi- cient than ever. New materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home own- ers 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 pos- sible.

While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper com- bustion and ventilation.

LOCAL CODES

Install and use heater with care. Follow all local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the latest edition of The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, also known as NFPA 54*.

FEATURES

SAFETY PILOT

This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensor Shutoff System (ODS). The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent- free room heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there is not enough fresh air.

PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM

This heater has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no matches, batteries, or other sources to light heater.

Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide ad- equate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel- burning appliances.

VP1000BT specifications

Desa VP1000BT is an innovative heating appliance that merges advanced technology with user-friendly features. Designed for efficient and effective heating, this model stands out in the competitive market of space heaters.

One of the key features of the Desa VP1000BT is its Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to control the heater through a smartphone app. This capability provides unparalleled convenience, enabling users to adjust settings, set timers, and monitor temperature levels without needing to be in the same room. The seamless integration with smart home systems enhances its usability, making it a popular choice for tech-savvy consumers.

The heater utilizes infrared heating technology, which is known for its ability to provide instantaneous warmth. Unlike traditional heaters that warm the air, infrared models heat objects and people directly, resulting in a more comfortable and consistent temperature without the dry air commonly associated with conventional heating methods. This not only improves comfort but also increases energy efficiency, as the heater operates more effectively in warming the intended space.

The Desa VP1000BT is designed with safety in mind. It is equipped with several safety features, including overheat protection and a tip-over switch. These mechanisms ensure that the heater automatically shuts off if it becomes too hot or if it is accidentally knocked over, providing peace of mind for users, especially in homes with children or pets.

Additionally, the sleek and modern design of the Desa VP1000BT allows it to blend seamlessly with various interior décor styles. Its compact size makes it easy to move from room to room, while its lightweight construction adds to its portability.

Another notable characteristic is its energy efficiency. The heater is designed to consume less power while still delivering excellent heating performance. This feature is especially appealing in times of rising energy costs, as it helps users save on their monthly energy bills.

In summary, the Desa VP1000BT is a forward-thinking heating solution that combines cutting-edge technology with user-oriented features. Its Bluetooth connectivity, infrared heating, safety mechanisms, and energy efficiency make it an outstanding choice for modern households seeking reliable and effective heating options. Whether for a cozy night in or a chilly morning, the Desa VP1000BT is designed to meet diverse heating needs while prioritizing comfort and safety.
