PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
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 ames. This heater is designed for vent-free
operation with ue damper closed. It has been
tested and approved to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard
for unvented heaters. State and local codes in some
areas prohibit the use of vent-free heaters. This
heater may also be operated as a vented decorative
product (ANSI Z21.60) by opening ue damper
(non-thermostat operation only).
APPLICATION
These multisided logs are designed to be equally
beautiful when viewed from any angle. They
are designed specically for use in see-through,
peninsula, and island fireboxes with multiple
openings. You may also install this log heater in
a standard rebox.
SAFETY PILOT
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Deple-
tion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. 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 re-
quires no matches, batteries, or other sources to
light heater.

Today’s homes are built more energy efcient 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 ef-
cient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must
enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need
fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.
