SAFETY PILOT
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 fireplaces. The ODS/pilot
shuts off the fireplace if there is not enough
fresh air.
PIEzO IGNITION SYSTEM
This fireplace has a piezo ignitor. This sys-
tem requires no matches, batteries, or other
sources to light fireplace.
THERMOSTATIC HEAT CONTROL
This fireplace has a thermostat sensing bulb
and a control valve. The thermostat will auto-
matically modulate the heat output to maintain
a consistent room temperature. This results in
greater fireplace comfort. This can also result
in lower gas bills.
