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 as-
sembly with glowing LEDʼs. The wall switch per-
forms 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 con-
struction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combus-
tion 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.
