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 realistic
flames and glowing embers. When used without the
blower, the fireplace requires no electricity making
it ideal for emergency backup heat.
SAFETY DEvICE
This fireplace has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion
Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS/
pilot is a required feature for vent-free room heat
-
ers. The ODS/pilot system shuts off the fireplace
if there is not enough fresh air.
PIEzO IGNITION SYSTEM
This fireplace has a piezo ignitor. This system
requires 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.
THERMOASTAT CONTROL
This fireplace has a thermostat sensing bulb and
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 comfort.
This can also result in lower gas results.
