UNPACKING

 CAUTION: Do not remove the 

data plates attached to the heater 

base assembly. The data plates 

contain important warranty and 

safety information.

1.  With utility knife, cut the carton all the way 

around above the staples on the bottom tray. 

Lift the carton off the heater. Remove packing. 

Note: 

The hood is located in the packing on 

the right hand side of the heater front. Lift the 

heater off the bottom tray. 

2.  Locate two screws above top corners of the 

fireplace screen. Remove and discard these 

screws. Lift fireplace screen up and pull out

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. 

SAFETY DEVICE

This fireplace has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion 

Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS/

pilot is a required feature for vent-free room heat-

ers. The ODS/pilot system shuts off the fireplace 

if there is not enough fresh air.

PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM

This fireplace has a piezo ignitor. This system 

requires no matches, batteries, or other sources 

to light fireplace.

WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL

This fireplace features an infrared wireless remote 

control. This control system can be used to auto-

matically light the pilot and adjust the burner flame 

height at the push of a button.

WIRED WALL-MOUNTED REMOTE 
CONTROL

This fireplace features a two-button wall switch 

assembly with glowing LEDʼs. The wall switch 

performs the same functions as the wireless hand-

held remote control with the added feature of LEDʼs 

for visual feedback of operation and status.

BLOWER ASSEMBLY

This fireplace includes a blower assembly. The 

blower operates thermostatically. The blower circu-

lates heated air from the fireplace into the room.

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. 

Todayʼs 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 effi-

cient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must 

enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances 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.
