combustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free
appliances will not filter or clean soot produced
by these types of products. In addition, the smoke
and/or aromatics (scents) may be reburnt in the
vent-free appliance which can produce odors. It
is recommended to minimize the use of candles,
incense, etc. while the vent-free appliance is in
operation.
