Desa DVF32TMHST Decorative Facing, Operating Guidelines And Maintenance Instructions

DECORATIVE FACING

Any non-combustible material may be used for facing (glass, tile, brick, etc.) as long as the proper clearances are observed (Refer to the section on Clearances). Louvered openings must not be obstructed, and upper and lower panels must remain removable for servicing. Use only heat-resistant, non- combustible mortar or adhesive when securing facing material.

NOTE: COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL, SUCH AS WOOD, THAT HAS BEEN FIREPROOFED IS NOT CONSIDERED NON-COMBUSTIBLE.

OPERATING GUIDELINES AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

When lit for the first time, the appliance may emit a slight odor for about 16-24 hours. This is normal and is due to the “curing” of the logs and the “burn-in” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.

Keep compartments, logs, burners, and area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year. Temporary removal of the log set may ease the cleaning of the burner and pilot assembly.

In cleaning, take care not to alter the pilot or burner location.

BE SURE APPLIANCE IS COOL BEFORE EACH MAINTENANCE SESSION.

IMPORTANT: Turn off gas and wall switch before servicing appliance. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

CAUTION: THE APPLIANCE AND LOGS CAN GET VERY HOT-HANDLE ONLY WHEN COOL!

Any household glass cleaner may be used to clean the glass panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners as this may damage the glass. Clean glass only when cool.

WARNING: Do not operate appliance with panel(s) and glass removed, cracked, or broken. replacement of the panel(s) should be done by a licensed, qualified service person.

CAUTION: Make certain wires and gas lines are not touching the underside of the firebox.

IF THE GLASS BREAKS, be cautious of fragments on the floor. Keep children away from the area. Do not operate the unit. Use proper safety gloves to remove the broken glass door. Discard safely. A glass door kit can be ordered through your local distributor. Do not substitute other material for the glass.

WARNING: Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures, and to stay away from the appliance to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance.

Have a qualified agency periodically inspect the vent system at the start of each heating season, for any obstruction, which may hinder its normal operation. Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance clear of all obstacles and materials.

WARNING: Do not abuse, strike, or slam the glass doors.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
