PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
This vent-free fireplace 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 realis-
tic flames and glowing embers. When used with-
out the blower, the fireplace requires no electric-
ity making it ideal for emergency backup heat.
SAFETY DEVICE
This fireplace 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 system shuts off the fire-
place if there is not enough fresh air.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This fireplace has a piezo ignitor. This system re-
quires no matches, batteries, or other sources to
light fireplace.
BLOWER ASSEMBLY
This fireplace has a blower assembly. The blower
operates thermostatically and has a variable speed
control. The blower circulates heated air from the
fireplace into the room. Use of blower is optional.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL
This fireplace has a thermostat sensing bulb and a
control valve. The thermostat controls the heat
output and flame height. This maintains a consis-
tent room temperature. Even the lowest setting
provides realistic flames and glowing embers from
two burners. Selecting higher comfort settings al-
lows fireplace to run longer, producing greater heat
output. At lower comfort settings, the fireplace will
run less. This results in increased heating com-
fort. This can also result in lower gas bills.
