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

Safety Device

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.

Piezo Ignition System

This heater has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no matches, batteries, or other
sources to light heater.
