bustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free appliances 
will not filter or clean soot produced by these types 
of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics 
(scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free appliance which 
can produce odors. It is recommended to minimize the 
use of candles, incense, etc. while the vent-free appli-
ance is in operation.
