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 realistic, danc-
ing yellow fl ames. This heater is designed for
vent-free operation with fl ue 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 product (ANSI Z21.60) by
opening fl ue damper (non-thermostat operation
only).
APPLICATION
These multisided logs are designed to be equally
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall not be
installed in a room or space unless the
required volume of indoor combustion
air is provided by the method described
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 en-
sure proper fresh air for this and other
fuel-burning appliances in your home.
Today's homes are built more energy effi cient
than ever. New materials, increased insulation
and new construction methods help reduce heat
loss in homes. Homeowners apply weather strip
and caulk around windows and doors to keep
the cold air out and the warm air in. During heat-
ing months, homeowners 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 ap-
pliances need fresh air for proper combustion
and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, some fi replaces, clothes dryers
and some fuel-burning appliances draw air from
the house to operate. You must provide adequate
fresh air for these appliances. This will ensure
proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

beautiful when viewed from any angle. They are
designed specifi cally for use in see-through,
peninsula, and island fi reboxes with multiple
openings. You may also install this log heater in
a standard fi rebox.
SAFETY PILOT
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 heat-
ers. The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there is
not enough fresh air.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This heater has a piezo igniter. This system
requires no matches, batteries, or other sources
to light heater.
following ventilation classifi cations:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfi ned Space
3. Confi ned Space
The information on Pages 6-8 will help you clas-
sify 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 unusually
tight construction, you must provide additional
fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is defi ned as
construction where:
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside
b. weather stripping has been added on
c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas
If your home meets all three criteria above,
you must provide additional fresh air. See
Ventilation Air From Outdoors, Page 8.
If your home does not meet all three criteria
above, proceed to Determining Fresh-Air
