PRODUCT
FEATURES

SAFETY PILOT

This fireplace has a pilot with an Oxygen
Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff sys-
tem. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for
vent-free room fireplaces. The ODS/pilot shuts
off the fireplace if there is not enough fresh air.

PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM

This fireplace has a piezo ignitor. This sys-
tem requires no matches, batteries, or other
sources to light fireplace.

THERMOSTATIC HEAT
CONTROL

This fireplace has a thermostat sensing bulb
and a control valve. The thermostat will
automatically modulate the heat output to
maintain a consistent room temperature.
This results in greater fireplace comfort.
This can also result in lower gas bills.
