PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
This heater is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is no heat
loss out a vent or up a chimeney. Heat is generated by both realistic flames
and glowing 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 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 decora-
tive (ANSI Z21.60) product by opening the flue damper (Non-Thermosta
models only).

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
WARNING:
This heater shall not be installed in confined
space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided
for adequate combustion and ventilation air. 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 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 ap-
pliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classifica-
tions:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 4 through 6 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 combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight
construction, you must provide additional fresh air.
