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 both
realistic flames and glowing coals. This heater
is designed for vent-free operation with flue
damper closed. It has been tested and ap-
proved to ANS Z21.11.2 standard for
unvented heaters. State and local codes in
some areas prohibit the use of vent-free heat-
ers. This heater may also be operated as a
vented decorative (ANS Z21.60) product by
opening the flue damper (non-thermostat
operation only).
SAFETY PILOT
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen
Depletion Sensing(ODS) safety shutoff sys-
tem. 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.
