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 gener-
ated by realistic dancing, yellow flames. This
heater is designed for vent-free operation
with flue damper closed. It has been tested
and approved to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard
for unvented heaters. This heater may also
be operated as a vented decorative (ANSI
Z21.60) product by opening flue damper
(non-thermostat models only).
SAFETy PILOT
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Deple-
tion 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 re-
quires no matches, batteries or other sources
to light heater.
REMOTE cONTROL AccESSORIES

AIR FOR cOMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a room or
space unless the required vol
-
ume of indoor combustion air
is provided by the method de
-
scribed in the
National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
the
International Fuel Gas Code,
or
applicable local codes. Read the
following instructions to insure
proper fresh air for this and
other fuel-burning appliances
in your home.
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 ap-
pliances 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.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from
National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three
following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 6 through 8 will help
you classify your space and provide adequate
ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows
may provide enough fresh air for combustion
and ventilation. However, in buildings of un-
usually tight construction, you must provide
additional fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is defined as
construction where:
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out
-
side atmosphere have a continuous
water vapor retarder with a rating of one
perm (6 x 10
-11
kg per pa-sec-m
2
) or less
with openings gasketed or sealed
and
b. weather stripping has been added on
openable windows and doors
and
c. caulking or sealants are applied to
areas such as joints around window
and door frames, between sole plates
and floors, between wall-ceiling joints,
