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.

codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free heaters. You can operate heater as a
vented product by opening flue damper.

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.

WARNING
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space unless
provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation
air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for
this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient 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 efficient, your home needs to breathe.
Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for
proper combustion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances draw air from
the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances.
This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
