OPERATION
This heater is clean burning. It requires no out-
side venting. There is no heat loss out a vent
or up a chimney. Heat is generated by realistic
flames and glowing ceramic logs/coals. This
heater is designed for vent-free operation with
flue damper closed. It has been tested and
approved to ANSI Z21.11.2 standard for un-
vented 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 (ANSI Z21.60) product by opening
the flue damper.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a room or space
unless the required volume of in-
door 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 lo-
cal codes. Read the following in-
structions 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.
While it is good to make your home energy
efficient, 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, 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.

SAFETY DEVICE
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Deple-
tion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The
ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-free
room heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off the
heater if there is not enough fresh air.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
This system has an electronic ignitor. This sys-
tem requires no matches or other sources to
light heater. Receiver requires 4 AA batteries
(included), hand-held remote control requires
a 12-volt battery and a 3-volt button cell bat-
tery for the LCD display (both included).
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three
following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 6 through 8 will help
you classify your space and provide adequate
ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows
may provide enough fresh air for combus-
tion and ventilation. However, in buildings of
unusually tight construction, you must provide
additional fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is defined as
construction where:
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out-
side atmosphere have a continuous
water vapor retarder with a rating of one
perm (6 x 10
-11
with openings gasketed or sealed and
b. weather stripping has been added on
openable windows and doors and
c. caulking or sealants are applied to
areas such as joints around window
and door frames, between sole plates
and floors, between wall-ceiling joints,
between wall panels, at penetrations
for plumbing, electrical and gas lines
and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three criteria
above, you must provide additional fresh air.
See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.
If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to Determin-
ing Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location,
