Caution:
Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce
combustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free appli-
ances will not filter or clean soot produced by these types
of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics
(scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free appliance which
can produce odors. It is recommended to minimize the
use of candles, incense, etc. while the vent-free appliance
is in operation.
15. An unvented gas-fired heater uses air (oxygen) from the
room in which it is installed. Provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air must be provided. See
installation guidelines.
