both realistic flames and glowing coals.
This heater is designed for vent-free opera-
tion with flue damper closed. It has been
tested and approved to ANS Z21.11.2 stan-
dard for unvented heaters. State and local
codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-
free heaters. This heater may also be oper-
ated as a vented decorative (ANS Z21.60)
product by opening the flue damper.

for vent-free room heaters. The ODS/pilot
shuts off the heater if there is not enough
fresh air.
