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 flames. This heater is designed for vent-

free operation with flue 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 (ANSI Z21.60) product by opening the 

flue damper (non-thermostat operation only).

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

quires no matches, batteries or other sources
