no outside venting. There is no heat loss out a
vent or up a chimney. Heat is generated by both
realistic flames. When used without the blower, the
fireplace requires no electricity making it ideal for
emergency backup heat. This heater is designed
for vent-free operation. It has been tested and ap-
proved to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard for unvented
heaters. State and local codes in some areas pro-
hibit the use of vent-free heaters.

AIR FOR COMbUSTION
not be installed in a confined
space or unusually tight construc-
tion unless provisions are provid-

ventilation air. 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. During heating months, home
owners want their homes as airtight as possible.
