Desa HDCFTN Attaching Wood Base To Solid Floor, Connecting To Gas Supply, Extension Cord

INSTALLATION

Continued

Extension Cord

Use extension cord if needed. The cord must have

athree-prong, grounding plug and a three-hole receptacle. Make sure cord is in good shape. It must be heavy enough to carry the current needed. An un- dersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage. This will result in loss of power and overheating. Use a No. 16 AWG cord for lengths less than 50 feet.

ATTACHING WOOD BASE TO SOLID FLOOR

For attaching base to solid floors (concrete or masonry)

Note: Floor anchors and mounting screws are in hardware package. The hardware package is provided with fireplace.

1.Drill holes at marked locations using 5/16" drill bit. For solid floors (concrete or ma- sonry), drill at least 1" deep.

2.Fold floor anchor as shown in Figure 22.

3.Insert floor anchor (wings first) into hole. Tap anchor flush to floor.

4.Insert mounting screws through base and into floor anchors.

5.Tighten screws until base is firmly fastened to floor.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: This appliance requires a 45° male flare fitting 5/8"-18 UNF (Unified National FineThread)inletconnectionand the flexible gas line provided.

WARNING:Aqualifiedservice person must connect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This fireplace requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the fireplace and propane/LP supply.

WARNING: Never connect natural gas fireplace to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

For propane/LP units, installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, fireplace regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 23. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Inter- nally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" or greater diameter to allow proper gas volume to fireplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.
