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 flames and
glowing ceramic logs/coals. 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.
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.
REMOTE IGNITION AND CONTROL
This gas log set has a battery powered electronic
remote ignition and control. This system requires
no matches or other source to light log set.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a confined
space or unusually tight con-
struction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combus-
tion 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.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from
National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3,
Air for Combustion and Ventilation
.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three fol
-
lowing ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 5 through 7 will help you
classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may
provide enough fresh air for combustion and ven
-
tilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight
construction, you must provide additional fresh air.
