AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
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 combus-
tion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and fuel burning ap-
pliances d
raw 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 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 heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off
the heater if there is not enough fresh air.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This heater has a piezo ignitor. This system requires no
matches, batteries or other sources to light heater.
THERMOSTATIC HEAT CONTROL
Thermostat-controlled models have 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 heater comfort. This
can also result in lower gas bills.
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 insure
proper fresh air for this and other fuel-
burning appliances in your home.
