PRODUCT FEATURES

SAFETY PILOT
This fireplace has a pilot with an Oxygen Deple-
tion 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 system re-
quires 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 automatically
modulate the heat output to maintain a consistent
room temperature. This results in greater fireplace
comfort. This can also result in lower gas bills.
