AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
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
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.
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a
confined space or unusually tight construction un-
less provisions are provided 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.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Venti-
lation
.
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 4 through 6 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.

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 generated by both
realistic flames and glowing coals. 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. State and local codes
in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free heaters. This heater may
also be operated as a vented decorative (ANSI Z21.60) product by
opening the flue damper (Non-Thermostat Models Only).
SAFETY DEVICE
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.
There are four optional remote controls that can be purchased
separately for Remote-Ready Models Only:
• wall switch
• hand-held ON/OFF remote
• wall thermostat
• hand-held thermostat remote.
See
Accessories,
page 27.
The wall thermostat or hand-held thermostat may not be used where
vented decorative listing is required.
