INSTALLATION

NOTICE: this heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your primary heating system. Do not install this heater as your primary heating source. If you have a central heating system, you may run system's circulating blower while using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house. In event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.

WARNING: A qualified service person must install heater. Fol- low all local codes.

NOTICE: State or local codes may only allow operation of this appli- ance in a vented configuration. Check your state or local codes.

WARNING: Make sure the selector switch is in the OFF position before installing heater.

WARNING: Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote will ignite if highly heated. A dirty chimney flue may create and distribute soot within the house. Inspect chimney flue for damage. If damaged, repair flue damper before operating appliance.

WARNING: Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-out doors located on floor or wall of fireplace. If not, drafting may cause pilot outage or sooting. Use a heat-ressistant sealant. Do not seal chim- ney flue damper.

WARNING: Never install the heater

in a bedroom or bathroom unless installed as a vented appli- annce, see page 10

in a recreational vehicle

where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are

Less than 42 inches from the front, top, or sides of heater

in high traffic areas

in windy or drafty areas

CAUTION: This heater creates warm air currents. These cur- rents move heat to wall surfaces next to heater. Installing heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating heater 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.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing heater in rooms withought enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use the correct gas type (natural or propane/LP) for your unit. If your gas supply is not correct, do not instal in fireplace. Call dealer where you bought the appliance for proper type of appliance.

VFRMV24NA, VFRMV18NA, VFRMV18PA specifications

The Desa VFRMV18NA, VFRMV18PA, and VFRMV24NA are advanced heating solutions designed to efficiently warm residential spaces while providing enhanced user comfort and convenience. These models are part of the VFRMV series, known for their reliability, innovative technology, and energy efficiency.

One of the main features of the VFRMV series is its variable refrigerant flow (VRF) technology. This allows the system to modulate the amount of refrigerant sent to each indoor unit based on the current heating or cooling load, resulting in optimal energy consumption. This flexibility not only saves energy but also ensures that the desired temperature can be quickly achieved and maintained across different rooms.

The VFRMV18NA and VFRMV18PA models are designed for residential use, with the VFRMV18PA specifically including additional features for enhanced performance in various climatic conditions. They come equipped with inverter-driven compressors, which adjust their speed to meet demand, leading to quieter operation and improved efficiency. This inverter technology ensures that energy consumption decreases during periods of lower demand, making these models environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

The VFRMV24NA model, with its higher capacity, is suitable for larger spaces or homes needing additional heating and cooling power. Like its counterparts, it features a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) ratings, indicating its efficiency in energy use, which translates into savings on energy bills for homeowners.

In terms of characteristics, all three models incorporate user-friendly controls, allowing homeowners to easily adjust settings and schedule operations. Smart technology integration enables remote monitoring and control via mobile apps, giving users the ability to manage their indoor climate on the go.

Additionally, the VFRMV series features advanced filtration systems that improve indoor air quality by capturing dust and allergens, making these models an excellent choice for households with allergy sufferers. The units are also designed with sleek, modern aesthetics, ensuring they blend seamlessly with a variety of interior designs.

In summary, the Desa VFRMV18NA, VFRMV18PA, and VFRMV24NA offer cutting-edge technology, impressive efficiency, and user-friendly features. With their VRF technology, inverter-driven compressors, and smart controls, these heating solutions provide an ideal choice for homeowners seeking comfort, efficiency, and convenience in their indoor environments.
