PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
This vent-free fireplace insert 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 embers. When used
without the blower, the fireplace insert requires no electricity
making it ideal for emergency backup heat.
SAFETY DEVICE
This fireplace insert has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing
(ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for
vent-free room heaters. The ODS system shuts off the fireplace
insert if there is not enough fresh air.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This fireplace insert has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no
matches, batteries, or other sources to light fireplace insert.
BLOWER ASSEMBLY
This fireplace insert is equipped with a blower assembly. The
blower operates thermostatically and has a variable control. The
blower circulates heated air from the fireplace insert into the room.
Use of blower is optional.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
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.
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a
confined space or unusually tight construction un-
less provisions are provided for adequate combus-
tion and ventilation air. Read the following instruc-
tions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-
burning appliances in your home.
