OPERATION

This direct-vent fireplace is clean burning
and vents easily through outside walls or
vertically using outside air for combustion.
Heat is generated by both realistic flames
and glowing embers. When used without
the blower accessory, the fireplace requires
no electricity making it ideal for emergency
backup heat.

PIEZO IGNITOR

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