AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
Today’shomesarebuiltmoreenergy efficient than ever.New
materials,increasedinsulation,andnewconstructionmethods
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 combus-
tion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans,
fi replaces, clothes dryers, and fuel burning ap-
pliances 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.
SAFETY PILOT
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion 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.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This heater has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no
matches, batteries or other sources to light heater.
