to a properly installed and maintained venting system can
result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible
death.
The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater, when
installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, (latest edition), or of the current
Canadian Electrical Code C22.1.
The installation of the Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room
Heater must conform with local codes, or in the absence of lo-
cal codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
— latest edition and CSA B-149.1 Installation Code. (EXCEP-
TION: Do not derate this appliance for altitude. Maintain the
manifold pressure at 3.5” w.c. for Natural Gas and 10.0” w.c.
for LP gas at maximum input.) Refer to Page 32 (RF only).
Due to high temperatures this appliance should be located
out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
WARNING: This appliance is hot while in operation. Keep
children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause
burns or ignition of combustible materials.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on
the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with
other gases unless a certified kit is used.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of
high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid
burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be care-
fully supervised when they are in the same room as the
appliance.
Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization
equipment or accessories, and repair and servicing of
equipment shall be performed only by a qualified agency.
The term “qualified agency” means any individual, firm,
corporation, or company that either in person or through
a representative is engaged in and is responsible for (a)
installation or replacement of gas piping, or (b), the con-
nection, installation, repair, or servicing of equipment, who
is experienced in such work, familiar with all precautions
required, and has complied with all the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed
on or near the appliance.
Any safety screen, glass or guard removed for servicing an
appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appli-
ance.
The appliance area must be kept clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater
should be inspected before use and at least annually by a
qualified service agency. It is imperative that control com-
partments, burners, and circulating air passageways of the
appliance be kept clean.
The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed. The installation must include adequate acces-
sibility and clearance for servicing and proper operation.

signed to burn either natural gas or propane only.
‘Direct Vent’ describes a sealed combustion system in which
incoming outside air for combustion and outgoing exhaust enter
and exit through two separate concentric passages within the
same sealed vent system. The system does not use room air
to support combustion. The Direct Vent system permits the
gas appliance to be vented directly to the outside atmosphere
through the side of the house or vertically through the roof.
Conventional venting systems (Natural Vent) take air from the
room for combustion and vent the exhaust vertically through the
roof to the atmosphere.
This gas appliance must not be connected to a chimney
flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning or
oil fired appliances, and the products of combustion of such fu-
els, contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
This appliance is approved for bedroom installations in the U.S.
and Canada.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manufac-
tured (mobile) home, where not prohibited by state or local
codes.
California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6
* Aftermarket: Completion of sale, nor for purpose of resale,

Clearance Requirements
WARNING: Due to high temperatures, the HEATER
should be located out of traffic and away from fur-
niture and draperies.
Minimum Clearances to Combustible
Materials
The surface of the Heater Is hot when it is in use.
Young children should be watched carefully when
they are in the same room when the Heater is in
use, and they should be taught to avoid the hot
surface. Keep any objects that can burn well away
from the Heater, and observe the recommended
clearances that follow.
Measure side clearances as shown in Figures 3 and 4
from the outer edge of the cast iron stove top. Measure
rear clearances from the outermost surface of the steel
rear skirt.
The Stardance heater is approved for installation into
an alcove constructed of combustible materials to the
dimensions and clearances shown on the next page.
Locating the Stove
The same clearances apply in a standard parallel instal-
lation.
In choosing a location for the stove, consider:
•
•
•
•
The location of outside walls;
Where additional heat is needed:
Where family members gather most often;
The vent system requirements.
Warning:
• Always maintain required clearances
(air spaces) to nearby combustibles to prevent
fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insula-
tion. All venting components must maintain a
1” (25 mm) clearance to combustible materials.
Maintain a 6” (150 mm) clearance when using a
single wall pipe.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of wallpaper
next to this stove. Over time, radiant heat may cause
the wallpaper to shrink, or may adversely affect the
binders in the wallpaper adhesive.
• The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.
Each direct vent appliance must use its own
separate vent system. Common vents are pro-
hibited.
• Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions in-
cluded with the venting system for complete
installation procedures.

Vertical Termination - Direct Vent ONLY
Vent Termination Clearances
A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 8’
(2.44m) and no more than 40’ (12m) above the appli-
ance flue collar. A 2Z\v” restrictor plate (supplied) must
be used where specified in all vertically terminated vent
systems. (Fig. 8) NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied
with the vertical termination should be discarded. Install
restrictor plate supplied with stove directly at stove
outlet. A vertically terminated vent system must also
conform to the following criteria:
When planning the installation, consider the location
of the vent terminal and clearances. Some of the most
common clearances to keep in mind are shown in Fig-
ure 10.
Important: All vent clearances must be maintained.
Check your vent termination clearances against
Figures 9 through 11.
The vent should be placed so that people cannot be
burned by accidentally touching the vent surfaces when
the stove is operating.
• No more than three 90˚ elbows may be used.
• Two 45˚ elbows may be substituted for one 90˚ el-
bow. No more than six elbows may be used.
The vent termination should be located where it cannot
be damaged by such things as automobile doors, lawn
mowers or snowblowers and it should be located away
from areas where it could become blocked by snow,
etc.
• Vent must rise a minimum of 2 feet before offset is
used.
• Termination height must conform to roof clearance
as specified in Figure 9.
Some considerations are:
40
39
• Obstructions or impediments to venting.
• Nearby combustible materials that could come into
contact with combustion exhaust gases.

SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot
and push the ignitor button again. If pilot will not light,
check gap at electrode and pilot - it should be 1/8” to
have a strong spark.
1. Spark ignitor will not A. Defective or misaligned elec-
light
trode at the pilot
Push piezo ignitor button. Check for spark at elec-
trode and pilot. If there is no spark at the pilot, and
electrode wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.
B. Defective ignitor (push button)
Check pilot flame. It must impinge on the thermo-
couple or thermopile. NOTE: This pilot burner as-
sembly uses both a thermocouple and a thermopile.
The thermocouple operates the pilot flame. Tighten
the thermocouple. The thermopile operates the main
valve (ON and OFF). Clean and/or adjust pilot for
maximum flame impingement on thermocouple and
thermopile.
A. Defective pilot generator (ther-
mocouple)
2. Pilot will not stay lit
after carefully fol-
lowing the lighting
instructions
Turn valve knob to ‘Pilot’. Maintain flow to pilot; mil-
livolt meter should read greater than 10mV. If the
reading is okay and the pilot does not stay on, re-
place the gas valve. NOTE: An interrupter block (not
supplied) must be used to conduct this test.
B. Defective automatic valve op-
erator
Check rocker switch and wires for proper connection.
Use jumper wires across terminals at rocker switch.
If burner lights, replace rocker switch. If okay, use
jumper wires across rocker switch wires at the valve;
if burner lights, wires are faulty or connections are
bad.

1. Be sure wire connections from thermopile at gas
valve terminals are tight and thermopile is fully
inserted into pilot bracket.
2. One of the rocker switch wires may be grounded.
Remove rocker switch wires from valve terminals.
If burner now stays lit, trace rocker switch wiring
from ground. It may be grounded to the appliance
or the gas supply line.
3. Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take
reading at thermopile (“TP” and “TP/TH”) terminals
of gas valve. Should read 325 millivolts minimum
while holding valve knob depressed in PILOT po-
sition and with rocker switch OFF. Replace faulty
thermopile if reading is below specified minimum.
Check burner orifices for debris, and remove.
C. Plugged burner orifice
Turn knob to ON, place rocker switch to ON, millivolt
meter should read greater than 10 mV. If the read-
ing is okay and the burner does not light, replace the
valve.
D. Defective automatic valve op-
erator

Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
Maintenance
Your Stardance Gas Heater will provide years of service
with minimal upkeep. The following procedures will help
ensure that your stove continues to function properly.
CAUTION
TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING. AL-
LOW THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY BE-
FORE PAINTING.
Annual System Inspection
Have the entire heater and venting system inspected
annually by a qualified gas technician. Replace any
worn or broken parts.
Cleaning the Glass
WARNING: Allow the glass cool completely before
attempting to clean.
Logset and Burner /
Cleaning and Inspection
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. Dur-
ing start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms on
the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other
airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. Also
initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass.
It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned
two or three times with a non-ammonia household
cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace
glass cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned
two or three times during each heating season depend-
ing on the circumstances present.
Cleanliness is critical to the proper function of the
heater. The logset and burner must all be kept free of
dust and unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas
before each use and clean as necessary.
1. Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool com-
pletely before cleaning.
2. Lift the Stove Front up and then swing the bottom
out to disengage it from the heater shell. (Fig. 64)
3. Carefully remove the glass and frame assembly and
place it out of the way on a flat, padded surface such
as a counter protected by a towel.
Clean glass after first two weeks of opera-
tion.
4. Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your
local dealer if any damage is evident. DO NOT OP-
ERATE THE HEATER WITH DAMAGED LOGS.
Glass Replacement
Replace glass only with CFM Corporation approved
parts. Refer to Page 36 for Replacement Parts. Refer to
Figure 63 and previous instructions for removal of the
damaged glass frame.
5. Use a soft bristled brush to sweep dust or debris
from the Logs, Pilot and Burner. Use care as the logs
are fragile and susceptible to damage. DO NOT USE
A VACUUM TO CLEAN THE LOGS OR BURNER.
6. Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.
7. Replace the Stove Front.
Care of Cast Iron
An occasional dusting with a dry rag will help keep the
painted surfaces looking new. Use high-temperature
stove paints, available through your local dealer, to
touch-up areas as needed. Clean areas to be painted
with a wire brush and be sure to cover the logs, burner
and valve assembly, glass and frame assembly. Apply
the paint sparingly; two light coats of paint will give bet-
ter results than a single heavy coat.
Clean porcelain enamel surfaces with a soft, damp
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If neces-
sary, use only a cleaning agent formulated especially
for use on porcelain enamel surfaces.

Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
Inspect the Vent System Annually
Have the vent system inspected annually by a qualified
technician. Shut off the main gas supply before inspect-
ing the system. Both the inner exhaust pipe and the out-
er combustion supply pipe must be checked to confirm
that they are unblocked and in good condition.
ST208
Fig. 64 Release the latches to release the glass frame.
Check the Gas Flame Regularly
To ensure that the stove is operating properly, check the
flames periodically to confirm that they match Figure 64.
The flames will be blue during the first 15-20 minutes of
operation, and will gradually turn to yellow after that.
Gasket Replacement
The Stardance Gas Heater uses a ‘tadpole’ type gasket
to seal between the glass panel and the frame. In time,
this gasket can become brittle and compressed and
should be replaced. New gasket is available from your
dealer.
Do not use your stove if the flame pattern differs from
that shown here. Contact your Vermont Castings dealer
or a qualified technician for help.
Shut off the gas supply and allow the stove to cool.
Wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
1. Remove the Front, Glass Frame and Glass Panel.
(Figs. 63 & 64) Remove the old gasket. Use a
razor blade to separate the glass and gasket from
the frame, and to clean the glass of any remaining
cement or bits of gasket. Use a cold chisel if neces-
sary.
Red
Glow
2. Determine the correct length of gasket by laying it
out around the edge of the glass. Allow an extra 1
- 2” (25-50mm). Mark the spot to be cut. Use a utility
knife.
LG143
Fig. 66 Correct flame pattern.
3. Starting on a long edge, remove about 6” of the pro-
tective paper strip and apply the flat adhesive face
of the gasket around the outside-facing edge of the
panel. Continue around the panel, applying a bout 6”
at a time and being careful to not stretch the mate-
rial. Do not overlap the gasket ends. (Fig. 65)
Stove Disassembly
If there is ever a need to remove the firebox assem-
bly from the stove shell, support the firebox with solid
stands about 6” (152mm) tall under the left and right
outer edges of the firebox base. Do not set the firebox
assembly directly on the floor; this can damage the
control valve and/or the gas lines from the valve to the
firebox.
4. Apply a thin bead of high temperature silicone rubber
sealant along the inside corner of the glass frame, all
around the perimeter. Place the flat gasketed side of
the glass panel back into the steel frame. Pinch the
rounded inside-facing gasket material to bulk it up.
Before removing the firebox from the shell, disconnect
the on/off switch wires from the valve. If the assembly
includes the optional fan, disconnect the fan rheostat.
If the installation includes a wall thermostat, disconnect
the thermostat leads from valve.
5. Replace the glass frame and front panel as previ-
ously described.
Disconnection and reconnection to the gas line should
only be done by a qualified gas service technician.
Upon reinstallation, the vent system must be sealed to
the firebox as shown in the installation section, Page
14. Also be sure the logs are placed in the firebox cor-
rectly, as shown in Page 19, Figures 34 & 35.
ST179
Fig. 65 Wrap the gasket material around the outside iedge of
the glass.

GARANTIE DES COMPOSANTS
FONTE : Toutes les pièces en fonte externes et internes sont garanties
pour une période de trois ans.
Nota : Dans le cas des pièces et accessoires externes au fini en émail
de porcelaine, la Société n’offre aucune garantie quant à l’écaillage
des surfaces en émail. Avant d’accepter un produit, inspectez-le afin
de vous assurer que les surfaces en émail ne sont pas endomma-
gées.
L’atmosphère saline des zones côtières ou les environnements à
forte humidité peuvent provoquer la corrosion du fini en émail de
porcelaine. Ces conditions peuvent également faire rouiller la fonte
sous le fini en émail de porcelaine, provoquant ainsi l’écaillement de
la couche de fini.
Dans le cas des pièces et (ou) des accessoires de remplacement,
les variations de lots de teinture sont possibles, mais elles ne sont
pas couvertes par la garantie.
• Toute autre garantie, expresse ou implicite, en ce qui a trait au pro-
duit et ses composants et accessoires, ou toute obligation/responsa-
bilité de la part de la Société sont expressément exclues en vertu des

période d’un an. Les portes en verre ne sont pas garanties contre le
bris causé par un mauvais usage ou un accident. Les portes en verre

imprégnées attribuables à des conditions environnementales ou à un
nettoyage et un entretien inadéquats.
PIÈCES ET ACCESSOIRES PLAQUÉS EN LAITON : Les pièces en
laiton ne doivent être nettoyées qu’avec de l’essence de citron. Les
nettoyants pour le laiton ne doivent pas être utilisés, et les agents net-
toyants pour le mortier et la maçonnerie peuvent provoquer la corrosion
du fini laiton. La Société ne pourra être tenue responsable des domma-
ges à toute pièce en laiton occasionnés par des conditions chimiques
externes ou le refoulement, et elle n’offre aucune garantie à cet égard.
SOUPAPES À GAZ : Les soupapes à gaz sont couvertes pour une
période d’un an.
