ule. All models have HI/LO valve that controls
the flame height.
Fan Kit models DVFFBK and DVFFBKT are
available for these units as an option. If you are
uncertain as to what gas your unit is equipped for,

of the appliance opening or consult your local
distributor of DESA products.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with
headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you have these
signs, the fireplace may not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once! Have fireplace serviced.
Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide
than others. These include pregnant women, people
with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the
influence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.
Natural and Propane/LP Gas:
Natural and propane/
LP gas are odorless. An odor-making agent is added
to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas leak.
However, the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas
may be present even though no odor exists.
