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 both realistic flames
and glowing 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. This heater may also be operated as a
vented decorative (ANSI Z21.60) product by
opening the flue damper.
SAFETY DEVICE
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.

fuel supply.
