FEATURES

This heater is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is no heat loss out

 

a vent or up a chimney. Heat is generated by realistic, dancing yellow flames. This

 

 

heater is designed for vent-free operation with flue damper closed. State and local

 

 

codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free heaters. You can operate heater as a

 

 

vented product by opening flue damper.

 

 

 

 

Safety Device

 

 

 

 

This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensor Shutoff System (ODS).

 

 

 

 

The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-free room heaters. The ODS/pilot

 

 

 

 

shuts off the heater if there is not enough fresh air.

 

 

 

 

Piezo Ignition System

 

 

 

 

This heater has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no matches, batteries, or other

 

 

sources to light heater.

VENTILATION

 

air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for

 

 

 

 

this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased

 

 

insulation, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home

 

 

 

 

owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out

 

 

and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as

 

 

 

 

airtight as possible.

 

 

 

 

While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home needs to breathe.

 

 

Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for

 

 

 

 

proper combustion and ventilation.

 

 

 

 

Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances draw air from

 

 

the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances.

 

 

 

 

This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
