Natural Gas and 11.0” w.c. for LP Gas.  
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.

Vermont Castings Radiance Vent-Free Gas Heater  
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:

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

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.  
WA R N I N G  
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.

1. Slide stove to the rear of the pallet just far enough to  
access rear leg holes. Make sure the stove does not  
tip over backwards. (Fig. 7)  
7. Adjust leg levelers to compensate for irregularities in  
the hearth.  
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.

Fan Kits  
Screen Kit  
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.
