INTRODUCTION
Before beginning the installation of your firebox, read these instruc-
tions through completely.
These Comfort Glow components and firebox are safe when in-
stalled according to this Installation Manual. Unless you use Com-
fort Glow components, which have been designed and tested for the
firebox systems, you may cause a fire hazard.
This wood burning fireplace complies with UL127 as a Factory-
Built Fireplace and is listed and tested by Underwriters Labo-
ratory, Inc.
This model is not for use in mobile homes.
The DESA International warranty will be voided by, and DESA
International disclaims any responsibility for the following actions.
a)
Modification of the firebox, components, doors, air inlet sys-
tem and the damper control.
b)
Use of any component part not manufactured or approved by
DESA International in combination with DESA International
firebox systems.
WARNING: Do not use a firebox insert in this firebox
unless the manufacturer's instructions with the in-
sert specifically state this firebox has been tested for
use with the insert.
PROPER INSTALLATION is the most important step in ensuring
safe and continuous operation of this firebox. Consult the local
building codes as to the particular requirements concerned with the
installation of all factory-built fireboxes. Although grounding may
not be required by code the manufacturer recommends it.
This firebox is not intended to be used as a substitute
for a furnace to heat an entire home. Use for supple-
mentary heating only.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIAL
Framing and enclosures may safely make direct contact with the
spacer on the top of the firebox. The firebox may sit directly on
combustible flooring. The firebox opening must not be less than 14
inches from a combustible perpendicular sidewall. A 2-inch mini-
mum air space clearance between combustible materials and the
chimney must be absolutely maintained. A 16
dimension is recommended as a minimum size. A 3/4 inch air space
required around back and sides of firebox.
WARNING: Do not pack required air spaces with
insulation or other materials.
HEIGHT
The minimum height of the chimney, measured from the base of the
firebox to the flue gas outlet, is 14 feet for straight flues or a flue with
one elbow set. For systems with 2 elbow sets, the minimum height
is 22 feet. The maximum height of any system is 60 feet. This
measurement includes the firebox, chimney sections and the effec-
tive height of the termination assembly.
INSTALLING THE FIREBOX
STEP 1: Frame the opening for the firebox using the dimensions
shown in Figure 1 and Figures 2 and 3, page 3.
STEP 2: Set the firebox directly in front of this opening and slide the
unit back until the mounting flanges touch the side framing.
STEP 3: Check the level of the firebox and shim with sheet metal if
necessary.
STEP 4: When the firebox is installed upon a combustible floor a
galvanized sheet ember protector (provided) must be installed be-
tween the firebox and the hearth extension as illustrated.
STEP 5: Secure the firebox to the framing through the flanges
located on the sides on the firebox with 8-penny nails.
