GENERAL INFORMATION

ARRANGEMENT OF MANUAL

This  manual  contains  information  and  service 

procedures  to  assist  the  service  technician  in 

understanding and correcting problems on DESA 

Heating Products Umbrella Stand and Electric 

Foot  Warmer.  The  first  section  of  the  manual 

contains  basic  information  concerning  the  op-

eration of the different components in the heater. 

This information should be reviewed by service 

personnel to provide a basic understanding of how 

the components function in the working system. 

The 

Troubleshooting

 section of this manual is 

intended to provide a quick reference concerning 

conditions which result in customer complaints. 

These procedures will help the service technician 

quickly diagnose a malfunctioning heater. The 

illustrations in this manual may not necessarily 

depict the actual heater model and are intended 

for reference ONLY.

TECHNICAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT

The  Technical  Service  Department,  located 

in  Bowling  Green,  Kentucky,  is  committed  to 

assisting our Authorized Service Centers to in-

crease their service knowledge so that they can 

provide prompt, efficient service. This Service 

Manual covers the majority of problems that are 

associated  with  the  heaters.  However,  as  with 

any product, certain problems can arise which 

have not been covered. If such problems arise, 

please call the Technical Service Departmentʼs 

number, 1-866-672-6040 or visit our website at 

www.desatech.com

, to address these technical 

problem areas. If you need assistance for ordering 

parts, billing questions, etc. you should contact 

1-866-672-6040.

SERVICE PREPARATION

A clean work area at the start of each job is essen-

tial for efficient service work. Heaters which are 

extremely dirty should be cleaned prior to service. 

Cleaning will occasionally uncover the problem 

area. Tools needed for the job should be obtained 

before work is started. Delays resulting from locat-

ing tools result in lost time and wages.
Use caution and common sense when working on 

a heater. Always remember that electrical parts can 

result in potential shock. Heater parts are hot dur-

ing operation, which could result in burns.

TOOLS REQUIRED

In addition to common hand tools, the service 

shop should have the following tools and instru-

ments for proper repairing of the heaters. These 

instruments will be referred to throughout this 

manual.
