AIR FOR COMBUSTION 

AND VENTILATION

 WARNING: This heater shall 

not  be  installed  in  a  confined 

space or unusually tight construc

-

tion unless provisions are provid

-

ed for adequate combustion and 

ventilation air. 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.

State of Massachusetts:

 The installation 

must  be  made  by  a  licensed  plumber  or 

gas fitter in the Commonwealth of Mas

-

sachusetts.
Sellers  of  unvented  propane  or  natural 

gas-fired supplemental room heaters shall 

provide to each purchaser a copy of 527 

CMR 30 upon sale of the unit.
Vent-free  gas  products  are  prohibited  for 

bedroom  and  bathroom  installation  in  the 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

PRODUCT FEATURES

OPERATION

This vent-free fireplace is clean burning. It requires 

no outside venting. There is no heat loss out a vent 

or up a chimney. Heat is generated by both realistic 

flames and glowing embers. When used without the 

optional blower, the fireplace requires no electricity 

making it ideal for emergency backup heat.
