• Your replace is designed to be used in
zero clearance installations. Wall or framing
material can be placed directly against any
exterior surface on the back, sides or top of
your replace, except where standoff spac-
ers are integrally attached. If standoff spac-
ers are attached to your replace, these
spacers can be placed directly against wall
or framing material. See framing details on
page 7.
• If you plan on installing a television or
entertainment center recessed above
your replace, it is recommended that you
maintain a minimum 18" above top of louver
opening.
These are a few facts that can help you under-
stand and enjoy your direct-vent replace:
• The CD36R dedicated rear vent is best suited
for ush or corner installations when vented
horizontally through an exterior wall.
• The CD36T dedicated top vent is suited
for any application where height is nec-
essary to terminate the venting system
either through the roof (vertical) or to gain
sufcient height and offset to vent to an
outside/exterior wall (horizontal).
• The vent pipe installation is very important
to allow for proper operation. You must se-
lect the appropriate unit for your application
and follow the venting instructions to plan
your installation.
• This replace may be installed in any room
of your house provided all local codes and
these installation instructions are followed.
• Models (V)CD36R/T are equipped with a
millivolt gas control system that does not
require electricity to operate. A piezo ignitor
is provided to light the pilot without using
matches or lighters.
• Models (V)CD36RE/TE are equipped with
an electronic ignition system that requires
120VAC to operate. An electrode ignitor
automatically lights the pilot ame when
the replace is turned on.
• All models can accept an optional circulat-
ing air blower when 120 VAC connection
is supplied. If you plan to install an optional
blower, do not forget to wire the replace
outlet when framing.
• Each time you turn on your replace, you
may notice some amount of condensation
on the inside of the replace glass. This
is normal and will disappear after 10-20
minutes of operation.
• Your direct-vent gas fireplace system
(replace and venting) is a balanced and
sealed gas operating unit. It is highly
efcient because it uses outside air for
combustion while independently heating
the indoor air.
PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION
LOCATION AND SpACE
REqUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efcient loca-
tion for your DESA Heating, LLC direct-vent
replace. 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 com-
mon locations. Be aware of all restrictions and
precautions before deciding the exact location
for your replace and termination cap.
When deciding the location of your replace,
follow these rules:
• Do not connect this replace venting to a
chimney ue serving a separate solid-fuel
burning replace or appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this
replace in high trafc areas, windy or drafty
areas or near furniture or draperies.
• Proper clearances must be maintained.
• If your replace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, vinyl tile or any combustible ma-
terial other than wood, it must be installed
on a metal or wood panel extending the full
width and depth of the replace. See Figure
3, page 6.
