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,
dancing yellow flames. This heater is designed for vent-free opera-
tion 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 product (ANSI Z21.60) by
opening flue damper (non-thermostat operation only).
APPLICATION
These multisided logs are designed to be equally beautiful when
viewed from any angle.
They are designed specifically for use in see-through, peninsula,
and island fireboxes with multiple openings. You may also install
this log heater in a standard firebox.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
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.
