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 gen-
erated by both realistic flames. When used
without the blower, the fireplace requires no
electricity making it ideal for emergency back-
up heat. This heater is designed for vent-free
operation. 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.

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. Dur-
ing 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.
