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.

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

AIR FOR COMbUSTION AND VENTILATION

 WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space 

unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by 

the method described in the 

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA 54,

 the 

International Fuel Gas Code,

 or applicable local codes. 

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.
