quirement in your area.  
• Installation of any damaged venting  
component  
• Where the gas vent extends through ac-  
cessible spaces, it should be enclosed to  
avoid personal contact and damage. En-  
closure walls should have a fire rating

• Installation other than as instructed by  
these instructions  
• Situate the gas vent in the structure so  
that it can be installed without cutting  
joists, sills, plates, or major load bearing  
partitions or members. It is also impor-  
tant to locate the base of the gas vent as  
near as possible to the heating appliance.  
Your Vanguard stove with B-vent burner  
system is approved for use with any listed  
gas vent. A listed gas vent is a factory made  
and listed system designed, and installed  
exclusively for removing products of com-  
bustion,excessair,anddilutionairresulting  
fromburningfuelgas. Metalvents, themost  
common type of vent, employ double wall  
construction enclosing an insulating air  
space. This air space both helps keep flue  
gases warm and reduce heat transferred to  
nearby combustibles. This appliance is  
equipped with a safety control system de-  
signed to protect against improper venting  
of combustion products.  
WARNING: A qualified in-  
staller or service person must  
connect burner system to gas  
supply. Follow all local codes.  
• This burner system must be properly con-  
nected to a venting system. This burner  
system is equipped with a vent safety  
shutoff system.  
VENTING  
INSTALLATION  
• Use only vents labeled "FOR EXTE-  
RIOR USE" above the roofline.  
WARNING: Read all instruc-  
tions completely and thoroughly  
before attempting installation.  
Failure to do so could result in  
serious injury, property damage,  
or loss of life. Operation of im-  
properlyinstalledandmaintained  
venting system could result in  
serious injury, property damage,  
or loss of life.  
• Consult the authority having jurisdiction to  
select the correct gas vent diameter. Avoid  
using a larger than necessary diameter.  
Round Top  
It is very important that the venting system  
maintain its balance between the combus-  
tion air intake and the flue gas exhaust.  
Certain limitations apply to vent configura-  
tions and must be strictly followed.

insulate the chase as you would the outside  
walls of your home. This is especially im-  
portant in cold climates. Minimum clear-  
ance between vent pipes and combustible  
materials such as insulation is 1".  
Figures 22 through 24 show other options  
for the gas vent. When venting through a  
side wall your vent pipe must have the  
proper temperature rating (see Figure 24).  
Manufacturer's clearances must also be  
maintained. Consult the authority having  
jurisdiction in your area regarding venting  
through side wall.  
CHECKING VENT CAPACITY  
Complete all gas piping, electrical, and vent  
connections. After adjusting the burner sys-  
tem and lighting the main burners, allow a  
couple of minutes for warm-up. Hold a  
lighted match just under the rim of the draft  
hood relief opening. Proper venting will  
drawtheflametowardorintothedrafthood.  
Improper venting, indicated by escape or  
spillage of burned gas, will cause match to  
flicker or go out. Smoke from a cigarette  
will also be pulled into the draft hood if the  
vent is drawing properly.

rect vent sizing, improper installation, or  
inadequate air supply. A preliminary check  
for a field problem might include:  
Obstructions  
NOTICE: This burner system is  
intended for use as supplemen-  
tal heat. Use this burner system  
along with your primary heating  
system. Do not install this stove  
and burner system as your pri-  
mary heat source. If you have a  
central heating system, you may  
run systems circulating blower  
while using heater. This will help  
circulate the heat throughout the  
house. In the event of a power  
outage, you can use this burner  
system as your primary heat  
source.  
Smallanimalsorbirdsmaygetintoandblock  
the vent or draft hood outlet. Dust, lint, and  
foreign objects may obstruct air inlets. Re-  
move obstructions and clean openings.  
• Using a draft meter to determine if  
venting system draft meets  
manufacturer’s specifications  
Lateral Run  
• Checking the vent sizing according to  
manufacturer’s specifications, appliance  
input, and venting configuration  
Lengthyhoizontalornon-verticalrunscause  
resistance to flow and may reduce draft  
• Examining the entire venting system for enough to cause spillage. The pitch of lat-  
faults such as disconnected joints for eral runs can also be a problem; lateral runs  
damaged vent sections  
should be pitched 1/4" rise per foot of hori-  
zontal run from the appliance to the vent.  
• Making sure vent and air openings are  
not obstructed  
Elbows  
Iftheseproceduresdonotrevealthesourceof  
the problem, troubleshooting may include  
attention to common venting problems.  
Too many elbows cause excessive restric-  
tion of flow and may result in spillage.  
Usually, two 90º turns can be tolerated in a  
properly sized venting system. More than  
two may cause problems and necessitate  
changing the system.  
CHECK GAS TYPE  
Use proper gas type for the burner system  
unit you are installing. If you have conflict-  
ing gas types, do not install burner system.  
See dealer where you purchased the stove  
and burner system for proper burner system  
according to your gas type.  
FLUE GAS SPILLAGE  
Spillage occurs when flue gases cannot exit  
the vent system and back up into the dwell-  
ing. A primary symptom of appliances  
equipped with a Vent Safety Shutoff System  
(flue spill switch) is unexplained appliance  
shutoffs.Othersymptomsoffluegasspillage  
at the draft hood include condensation on  
walls and windows and/or noticeable odors.  
Spillage may also result in the release of  
carbonmonoxide,acolorless,odorless,highly  
toxic gas. A simple spillage test can be con-  
ducted if spillage is suspected. See Checking  
Gas Connection, pages 14 and 15.  
Negative Pressure in the  
Dwelling  
An extremely tight house may not supply  
adequate combustion and venting air. Use  
of mechanical exhaust such as a dryer vent  
or range vent may worsen the problem. An  
air exchange system must be installed in the  
dwelling to correct this problem.  
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO  
STOVE LOCATION  
WARNING: A qualified in-  
staller or service person must  
connect burner system to gas  
supply. Follow all local codes.  
Flue Gas Cooling  
Venting exposed to extremely cold tem-  
peraturesorventingofsinglewallconstruc-  
tion loses heat needed to maintain draft;  
massive masonry chimneys absorb needed  
heat. Ifthefluegasescoolexcessively, draft  
is reduced and spillage may result. Use  
proper materials, insulate and protect prop-  
erly, reline when necessary.  
CAUSES OF SPILLAGE AND  
CORRECTIVE ACTION  
CAUTION: For propane/LP  
units, never connect burner sys-  
tem directly to the propane/LP  
supply. This burner system re-  
quires an external regulator (not  
supplied).Installtheexternalregu-  
lator between the burner system  
and propane/LP supply.  
Incorrect Vent Sizing  
If the vent is too small or too short, spillage  
may occur. If the vent is too large, excessive  
dilution air may cool flue gases and reduce  
draft, causing spillage. The vent cap size  
should also be checked. Check  
manufacturer’s instructions, appliance in-  
put rating, and appropriate sizing tables.

BURNER SYSTEM  
We recommend that you install a sediment  
trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in  
Figure 29. Locate sediment trap/drip leg  
where it is within reach for cleaning. Install  
in piping system between fuel supply and  
burner system. Locate sediment trap/drip  
leg where trapped matter is not likely to  
freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and  
contaminants. This keeps them from going  
into burner system gas controls. If sediment  
trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed  
wrong, burnersystemmaynotrunproperly.

MAINTENANCE  
Installing Logs, Lava Rock, and Glowing  
Embers, page 18, to properly replace logs.  
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any car-  
bon build-up on logs.  
WARNING: Turn off burner  
system and let cool before  
cleaning.  
• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replace-  
ment Parts on page 26.  
• Replace ember material periodically as  
CAUTION:Youmustkeepcon-  
trol areas, burners, and circulat-  
ingairpassagewaysofstovewith  
burner system clean. Inspect  
these areas of stove and burner  
system before each use. Have  
burner system inspected yearly  
by a qualified service person.  
Burner system may need more  
frequent cleaning due to exces-  
sive lint from carpeting, bedding  
material, pet hair, etc.  
needed. See Replacement Parts on page 26.  
CAUTION: Wear gloves and  
safety glasses while handling or  
removing broken glass. Do not  
remove if glass is hot. Keep chil-  
dren and pets away from glass.  
VENTING SYSTEM  
Conduct annual inspection of the venting  
system following these guidelines:  
If glass has been broken, carefully remove  
glass door (see Removing/Replacing Glass  
Door, page 17). Vacuum all glass pieces  
with a shop vac.  
1. Check areas of venting system that are  
exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust  
spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,  
holes). Have these items replaced imme-  
diately by a qualified service person.  
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if  
pieces are hot.  
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a  
flashlight into the vent. Remove any  
foreign material.  
GLASS DOOR  
Use only the ceramic glass door replace-  
ment intended for this burner system (see  
Replacement Parts, page 26 for details on  
ordering). No substitutions may be made.  
See Removing/ReplacingGlassDoor, page  
17 for instructions for replacing glass door.  
3. Check for evidence of excessive con-  
densation. Continuous condensation  
can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and  
fittings and can be caused by having  
excessive lateral runs, too many el-  
bows, or exterior portions of the sys-  
tem being exposed to cold weather.  
WARNING: Handle glass  
door panel with care. Do not  
strike, slam or otherwise abuse  
glass. Do not operate burner  
system with the glass door re-  
moved, cracked, or broken.  
WARNING: Do not operate  
burnersystemwiththeglassdoor  
removed, cracked, or broken.  
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sec-  
tion or fitting has been disturbed and  
loosened. Check mechanical supports  
such as wall straps for rigidity.  
WARNING: Do not use abra-  
sivecleanersasthismaydamage  
glass. Use a non-abrasive house-  
hold glass cleaner to clean glass.  
Do not clean glass when hot.  
PILOT AND BURNERS  
• Remove ember material before clean-  
ing burners and replace when cleaning  
is complete.  
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During  
start-up it is normal for condensation to  
form on the inside of the glass causing lint,  
dust, and other airborne particles to cling to  
the glass surface. During initial start-up a  
slight film may form on the glass due to  
paint curing. The glass should be cleaned  
several times with a non-amonia, non-abra-  
sive household cleaner and warm water  
afterthefirsttwoweeksofoperation.There-  
after, clean the glass two or three times  
during each heating season, depending on  
the usage and circumstances present. Refer  
toRemoving/ReplacingGlassDooronpage  
17ofthismanualwhenremovingglassdoor  
for cleaning.  
• Burner and controls should be cleaned  
with compressed air to remove dust, dirt,  
or lint.  
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft  
bristled brush to remove excess dust, dirt,  
or lint.
