Odor During Operation
Neither natural gas nor propane gas give off an odor
when burned. The nature of a vent free combustion
system, however, is such that odors may occasion-
ally be produced during heater operation when
impurities exist in the immediate area. Cleaning
solutions, paint, solvents, cigarette smoke, candles,
adhesives, new carpet or textiles, etc., all can create
fumes. These fumes may mix with combustion air
and can create odor. Such odors will disappear over
time, however the condition can be alleviated by
opening a window or otherwise providing additional
ventilation to the area.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermar-
ket* manufactured (mobile) home, where not
prohibited by state or local codes.
This appliance is to be used only with the type of
gas specified on the rating plate which is at-
tached to the rear panel. This appliance is not
convertible for use with other gases.

1) Unusually Tight Construction
2) Confined Space
3) Unconfined Space
Vent Free Features
The Radiance RUVSOD, Model Nos. 3370 thru 3379,
is an unvented gas heating appliance tested and listed
to the ANSI standard Z21.11.2-2000. This appliance is
specifically configured to burn either Natural Gas or
Propane fuel, as indicated on the metal rating plate
attached to the rear shroud. The Radiance RUVSOD is
not fuel convertible.
First, determine which classification defines the
intended space.
Unusually Tight Construction
You must provide additional fresh air if the space falls
into this classification. Unusually Tight Construction is
defined as construction wherein:
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside
atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder
with a rating of one perm or less with openings
gasketed or sealed and
b. weather stripping has been added on openable
windows and doors and
c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as
joints around window and door frames, between sole
plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between
wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical,
The RUVSOD is shipped fully assembled with the
exception of the log set. The log set is assembled
during installation.
The RUVSOD is equipped with a Honeywell control
valve that allows thermostatic control, on/off switch or a
remote switch (not supplied).
The RUVSOD model incorporates variable regulators
that allow you to adjust burner heat output between
HIGH, (35,000 BTU), and LOW, (26,000 BTU). See the
Operation Section for details.
A push button Piezo ignitor is used to light the standing
pilot. The pilot incorporates an Oxygen Depletion
System (ODS/pilot) which will shut off gas flow to the
burner in the event that sufficient fresh air becomes
unavailable for continued safe operation.
and gas lines, and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you
must provide supplemental fresh air for the appliance
from outside the home as detailed on page 7, B.
If your home does not meet the above criteria, follow
the procedure below.
Fresh Air Requirements for Combustion
and Ventilation
Determine if You Have a Confined or
Unconfined Space
WARNING
Use the following formula to determine if you have a
confined or unconfined space.
Thisheatermusthavefreshairforproperoperation.
If not, poor fuel combustion could result. Read the
followinginstructionstoinsureproperfreshairfor
this and other fuel-burning appliances in your
home.
Space is defined as the room in which you will install
the heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless
passageways or ventilation grilles between the rooms.
The National Fuel Gas Code defines a confined space
as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per
1,000 BTU per hour, (4.8 m3 per kw), of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances installed in that space and
an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not
less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour, (4.8
m3 per kw), of the aggregate input rating of all appli-
ances installed in that space. Rooms communicating
directly with the space in which the appliances are
installed, through openings not furnished with doors,
are considered a part of the unconfined space.
1. Determine the volume of space, (length x width x
height). Include adjoining rooms connected by doorless
passageways or ventilating grilles.
Modern construction standards have resulted in homes
that are highly energy-efficient and that allow little heat
loss. Your home needs to breathe, however, and all
fuel-burning appliances within it require fresh air in
order to function properly and safely. Exhaust fans,
clothes dryers, fireplaces, and other fuel burning
appliances all use the air inside the building. If the
available fresh air is insufficient to meet the demands
of these appliances, problems can result.
The Radiance Unvented heater has specific fresh air
requirements. You must determine that these fresh
air requirements will be met within the space where
the appliance will be installed. The following informa-
tion will help you insure that adequate fresh air is
available for the heater to function properly.
Example:
A room that is 18' x 12' x 8' has a volume of 1728 cubic
feet, ( length x width x height). An adjoining open
kitchen that is 10' x 12' x 8' has a volume of 960 cubic
feet. An adjoining open dining room is 12' x 12' x 8'
Provide For Adequate Ventilation
Any space within a home can be classified in the
following categories:

with a volume of 1152 cubic feet. The total space
volume is 3840 cubic feet. (1728 + 960 + 1152).
A confined space may be ventilated in two ways:
A) Open up or provide at least two ventilating grilles to
an adjoining unconfined space. Use any of the options
illustrated in Figure 4.
2. Divide the volume of space by 50 cubic feet. The
result is the maximum BTU/Hr that the space can
Each of the two grilles must provide an opening of at
least 50 square inches, with all opening dimensions
being at least 3". One grille must be located within 12"
of the ceiling; the other within 12" of the floor. (If the
total exceeds 100,000 BTU/Hr, additional grilles will be
required.)
support.
Example:
3840 divided by 50 = 76.8 or 76,800 BTU/Hr.
3. Add the BTU/Hr ratings of all fuel-burning appli-
ances installed in the same space, including the
following:
B) Vent the room directly to the outdoors. (Provide one
square inch of opening for each 4,000 BTU/hr.
Gas Water Heater
Gas Fireplace Logs
Vented Gas Heater*
Gas Furnace
Unvented Gas Heater
Other Gas Appliances*
If the total BTU/Hr used by the appliances is less than
the maximum BTU/Hr the space is able to support, the
room meets the Unconfined space criteria and no
further ventilation is required.
* Do not include Direct Vent appliances as these
utilize outside air for combustion and vent to the
outdoors.
For further information on ventilation guidelines and
sizing specifications follow the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 Section 5.3.

4. Compare the maximum BTU/Hr rating the space can
support with the total BTU/Hr used by the appliances.
Example:
76,800 BTU/Hr - max. the space can support
88,000 BTU/Hr - total used by appliances
In this example, the maximum BTU/Hr that the space
can support is less than the total used by the appli-
ances, the space is considered to be Confined space.
Additional air must be provided to meet the require-
ments of the Unvented heater.
This heater shall not be installed in a confined
space unless provisions are made for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.

If the area in which the heater may be operated is
smaller than that defined as an unconfined space,
provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by
one of the methods described in the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, 1992 Section 5.3.

Install Optional Fan
It is easiest to install the optional fan kit #2767/FK26,
before the stove is moved to its final location or con-
nected to the gas line.
The fan consists of a blower assembly and a rheostat
switch that are connected by a wire harness. The
blower attaches to a bracket at the bottom of the rear
shroud. The rheostat installs at the bottom of the stove
on the left of the valve.
The fan kit includes a ‘snapstat’, a temperature-sensing
switch which will be mounted to the blower duct just
below the top plate of the stove. The snapstat automati-
cally turns the fan on or off at approximately 109°F.

Maintenance
The following procedures will help ensure that your
heater continues to perform safely and efficiently.
Screen Hooks
Firebox Cleaning and Inspection
Cleanliness is critical to correct operation of the
heater. The log set, burner, valve controls and air
circulation areas must all be kept free of dust and
unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas before
each use and clean whenever accumulation is
evident. Follow the simple procedure outlined below.
Glass Latch
Frequent cleaning may be necessary in living environ-
ments subject to excessive carpet lint or pet hair. For
example, if you live with a dog that sheds continuously,
you will need to inspect the burner area frequently and
clean it as often as the accumulation requires. In
extreme conditions, it may be necessary to clean
the burner and log set monthly or bi-weekly.
ST675
Fig. 35 Remove the screen or glass panel.
Glass Replacement
If so equipped, do not operate this appliance with the
glass panel cracked, broken, or removed. Replace
damaged glass only with Vermont Castings ceramic
glass panel Part No. 1601290. Follow the Cleaning
Procedure instructions regarding parts removal.
This appliance should be inspected and thoroughly
cleaned annually by a qualified gas technician.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool com-
Care of Cast Iron
pletely before cleaning.
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 log set,
burner and valve assembly. Apply the paint sparingly;
two light coats of paint will give better results than a
single heavy coat.
2. Lift the Front plate up and then swing the bottom out
to disengage it from the heater shell. (Page 9, Fig. 5)
3. Remove the screen by lifting up and away from the
unit. Or, if so equipped, remove the glass panel by
releasing the two upper retainer latches. Lift the
panel up and off of the firebox frame. (Fig. 35)
4. Carefully inspect the log set for damage. Contact
your local dealer if any damage is evident. DO NOT
OPERATE THE HEATER WITH A DAMAGED OR
LOOSE LOG SET.
Porcelain enamel surfaces should be cleaned with a
soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
If necessary, use only a cleaning agent formulated
specifically for use on porcelain enamel surfaces.
Use a soft-bristled brush vacuum cleaner attach-
ment to remove dust or debris from the log set, pilot
and burner. Use care as the log set is fragile.
WARNING
5. Inspect the catalytic combustor at the top of the
firebox. Replace the combustor if any damage or
deterioration is evident.
Turn the burner Pilot OFF before applying
paint. NEVER paint pilot or around pilot area.
6. Replace the screen or glass panel and the front
plate. DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE
SCREEN / GLASS PANEL OR FRONT PLATE
REMOVED.
WARNING
Dust and debris accumulation can result in
poor performance. Inspect the Valve
compartment, burner parts and log set
frequently and Clean these parts monthly or as
often as accumulation warrants.

FK26 Fan
An optional screen, R40SK, is avaialble for use with
the operable doors to allow the doors to be left in the
open position.
The FK26 fan helps distribute heated air from within
the firebox out into the room. The fan is controlled by a
snapstat that turns power on and off as the firebox
temperature rises above and falls below a preset
temperature. A rheostat provides for variable fan
speeds.
Warming Shelf
Warming shelves add versatility to your stove; they can
be used to keep foods warm at mealtime.

The fan itself does not require regular maintenance,
however, periodic cleaning of the fan and the
surrounding area is required.
The shelf installation is done in three stages. First you
attach the shelf loosely to the stove, leaving the screws
loose enough to allow final adjustments. Then, you
position the shelf and adjust the brackets so the shelf
fits correctly. Finally, you tighten the screws.
Installation
Refer to Page 10 for installation instructions.
Remote Controls
Refer to the instructions included with each warming
shelf for complete installation procedures.
The remote control allows you to turn the heater on or
off from anywhere in the room. Refer to Page 40 for
wiring diagrams.
Glass & Catalyst Kit
The Glass & Catalyst, RGODCFK, may be added to
the stove to enhance stove performance. Refer to
Page 12 for installation instructions.
