PREPARATION

WARNING: A qualified installer or service person must install stove and burner system. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: This stove with burner system creates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to stove. Installing stove next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating stove with burner system where impurities (such as, but not limited to, tobacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls or cause odors.

LOCATION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Determine the safest and most efficient location for your DESA B-vent cast iron stove. Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the venting system. Choose a location where the heat output is not affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows, or doors. Figure 2 shows some common locations. Read all venting information in this manual. Be aware of all restrictions and precautions before deciding the exact location for your stove.

When deciding the location of your stove, follow these rules:

1.Do not connect this stove and burner system to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning fireplace or appliance.

2.Due to high temperatures, do not locate this stove in high traf- fic areas or near furniture or draperies.

3.Proper clearances must be maintained, see Figure 3 below and Figure 4 on page 5.

4.This stove is a freestanding unit designed to set directly on the floor. If your stove is to be installed directly on carpeting, vi- nyl tile, or any combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the stove. See Figure 5, page 5.
