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 opera-
tion with flue damper closed. It has been
tested and approved to ANS Z21.11.2 stan-
dard for unvented heaters. State and local
codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-
free heaters. This heater may also be oper-
ated 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 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.
