If connecting to a Class A chimney system, use 4” (102
mm) single wall or 4” Type B vent connector. Single wall
vent connector requires a minimum 6” (152 mm) clear-
ance to combustible surfaces.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - latest edition. (EXCEP-
TION: Do not derate this appliance for altitude. Main-
tain the manifold pressure at 3.5” w.c. for Natural Gas
and 10” w.c. for Propane.)
Exterior chimneys may be subject to flow reversal or
condensation. To lessen these conditions, enclose Type
B vents in an insulated chase, or reline exterior Class A
chimneys.
An approved pass-through device is always required,
whether the vent system passes through a wall or
a ceiling. Use a pass-through device from the same
maker who supplies the venting system.
High Elevations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
certified without deration for elevations up to
4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or
siding.
Vent Layout and Height Requirements
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA,
installations must be in accordance with the
current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes
having jurisdiction.
Venting for a Stardance can rise vertically through the
home, or can pass through an exterior wall and rise
along the outside of the home. Some codes require that
a Type B vent system rising on the outside of the home
be enclosed in a chase. Check your local codes for
requirements.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local
authorities having jurisdiction for installations at
elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).
The minimum vent system height for the Stardance
Natural Vent Stove is 8’ (2.43 m), (Fig. 7) measured
from the top of the stove. To determine the minimum
height the vent system must extend through or past the
roof, refer to the 1993 edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjust-
ment, alteration, service or maintenance
can cause injury or property damage. Refer
to this manual for correct installation and
operational procedures. For assistance or
additional information consult a qualified
installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

able through the grille opening.
8. The rheostat control switch attaches to the left side
of the valve bracket at the front of the stove. (Fig.
12)
The stove includes a bracket for installing decorative 6”
(152mm) round stove pipe around the B-vent, for ap-
pearance purposes only. The decorative pipe need not
be concentric with the vent pipe.
• Remove retaining nut from shaft of rheostat. (if
preinstalled)
• Insert the rheostat through the hole in the back
of the left side of the valve bracket, aligning the
locator pin with the smaller hole in that bracket.
If the installation includes decorative stove pipe around
the venting system, make a cardboard template of the
decorative pipe by tracing its circumference. Put this
template in the flue recess in the stove top. Position the
template to fit well against the front of the recess. (Fig.
14) Use this template to locate the bracket to hold the
decorative pipe. Depending on spacing, the bracket
may fit inside the decorative pipe without interfering
with the vent system. Fasten the bracket to the draft
hood/heat exchanger assembly with a sheet metal
screw.
• Thread the retaining nut onto the shaft of the
rheostat, tightening with a wrench. Do not over-
tighten.
• Attach the control knob to the rheostat shaft.
• Use the wire tie to secure the fan and rheostat
wire harnesses together.
9. Plug the power cord into a standard grounded 110
volt household outlet. If the fan control knob is not
turned to the OFF position, the fan will turn on when
the temperature at the snapstat reaches approxi-
mately 109°F.

Insert the B-vent adapter into the flue collar and drill
1/8” (3mm) pilot holes through both the stove’s collar
and the adapter. Attach the adapter to the flue collar
with sheet metal screws. (Fig. 15)
Connect the Gas Supply Line
Check the Rating Plate attached by a steel cable to the
firebox, to confirm that you have the appropriate firebox
for the type of fuel to be used. The Stardance may be
converted from one gas to another using the appropri-
ate Fuel Conversion Kit listed on Page 24.
Attach the first section of venting to the B-vent adapter.
Depending on the length of the individual venting
sections and the lengths of the decorative pipe, you
may need to slip the decorative pipe over the venting
sections before attaching upper sections to lower ones.
The sections of decorative pipe should be oriented with
their seams (if any) toward the wall; sections usually
do not need to be fastened at each joint, other than slip
sections. The decorative pipe need not be fastened to
the locating bracket on the stove. If the layout includes
a slip section, this should be the last section of pipe vis-
ible in the room at the ceiling. Refer to Page 7, Figure 6
CAUTION
This appliance should only be connect-
ed by a qualified gas technician. Test to
confirm manifold pressures as specified
below.
The Stardance Heater and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
for details on joining the decorative pipe at the ceiling.
The Stardance Heater must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its indi-
vidual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
There must be a gas shutoff between the stove
and the supply.
In order to connect Natural Gas, use a fitting with
3/8” NPT nipple on the valve side and 1/2” natural
gas supply line with an input of 28,000 BTUs at
a manifold pressure of 3.5” and a minimum inlet
supply pressure of 5.5” w.c.

ST374
Fig. 16 Install decorative pipe over the B-vent pipe.
In Canada; consult the local authority and CSA-B149.1
installation code.
Paint Option for Enamelled Stoves
Connect the gas supply and test for leaks. Use a 50/50
solution of liquid soap and water to test for leaks at gas
fittings and joints. Apply water/soap solution with brush
only - do not over apply. NEVER test with an open
flame. Light the pilot according to the directions on
Page 14, before going to the next step.
If you wish to match the decorative or vent pipe to the
color of the stove, paint the pipe before installation. Use
only a high-temperature paint. Paint only in a well-venti-
lated area. Mask the surroundings to prevent overspray.
Apply the paint lightly; two light coats will result in a
better finish than a single heavy coat. Let the paint dry
thoroughly before handling painted parts.

It is important to periodically perform a visual check
of the pilot and the burner flames. Compare them to
Figure 26. If any of the flames appear abnormal, call a
service person.
Your First Fire
Read these instructions carefully and familiarize
yourself with the burner controls shown in Figure 27.
Locate the pilot assembly, Figure 24. Follow the lighting
instructions on Page 14 exactly.
During the first fire, it is not unusual to smell some
odor associated with new logs, paint and metal being
heated. Odors should dissipate within an hour or so,
however, you can open a window to provide fresh air to
CO105c
alleviate the condition.
Pilot and Burner Inspection
Each time you light your heater check that the pilot
flame and burner flame patterns are as shown in Figure
26. If flame patterns are incorrect, turn the heater off.
Contact your dealer or a qualified gas technician for as-
sistance. Do not operate the heater until the pilot flame
is correct.
Follow regular maintenance procedures as described
on Page 19.

SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION
A. Defective or misaligned
electrode at the pilot
Using a match, light [ilot. 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 light
B. Defective ignitor (push
button)
Push piezo ignitor button. Check for spark at electrode
and pilot. If there is no spark at the pilot, and electrode
wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.
A. Defective pilot generator
(thermocouple)
Check pilot flame. It must impinge on the thermocouple
or thermopile. NOTE: This pilot burner assembly uses
both a thermocouple adn a thermopile. The thermo-
couple operates the pilot flame. Tighten the thermo-
couple. The thermopile operates the main valve. (ON
and OFF) Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame
impingement on thermocouple and thermopile.
Turn valve knob to “Pilot”. Maintain flow to pilot; millivolt
mete should read greater than 10mV. If the reading is
okay and the pilot does not stay on, replace the gas
valve. NOTE: An interrupter block (not supplied) must
be used to conduct this test.
2. Pilot will not stay lit
after carefully fol-
lowing the lighting
instructions
B. Defective automatic valve
operator
C.Defective safety switch
Check the continuity accross the safety limit switch with
the unit cold. If there is no continuity, the safety switch
needs to be replaced.
A. Remote switch or wires
defective
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 connecitons from thermopile at gas
valve terminals are tight and thermopile is fully inserted
into pilot bracket.
3. Pilot lights, no gas
to burner, valve
knob ON, remote
switch (rocker
switch) ON
B. Thermopile may not gen-
ate sufficient voltage
2. One of the rocker switch wires may be grounded
Remove rocker switch wire form valve termianls. If
burner now stays lit, trace rocker switch wiring from
ground. It may be grounded to the appliance of 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 position and
with rocker switch OFF. Replace faulty thermopile if
reading is below specified minimum.
C. Plugged burner orifice
D. Defective automatic valve
operator
Check burner orifices for debris, and remove.
Turn knob to ON, place rocker switch to ON. Millivolt
meter should read greater than 10mV. If the reading is
okay and the burner does not light, replace the valve.

Stardance Natural Vent Gas Heater
Maintenance
Your Stardance Gas Heater will provide years of service
CAUTION
with minimal upkeep. The following procedures will help
ensure that your stove continues to function properly.
TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING.
ALLOW THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY
BEFORE 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: Let the glass cool completely before at-
tempting 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. 37)
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
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.
Replace glass only with CFM Corporation approved
parts. Refer to Page 22 for Replacement Parts. Refer to
Figure 38 and previous instructions for removal of the
damaged glass frame.
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 Natural Vent Gas Heater
Inspect the Vent System Annually
Have the vent system inspected annually by a quali-
fied technician. Shut off the main gas supply before
inspecting the system. Both the inner exhaust pipe and
the outer combustion supply pipe must be checked to
confirm that they are unblocked and in good condition.
Check the Gas Flame Regularly
NOTE: Shown without top for clarity.
To ensure that the stove is operating properly, check
the flames periodically to confirm that they match
Figure 40. The flames will be blue during the first 15-20
minutes of operation, and will gradually turn to yellow
after that.
ST582a
Fig. 38 Release the latches to release the glass frame.
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. 37, 38) Remove the old gasket. Use a razor
blade, with rounded corners, to separate the glass
and gasket from the frame, and to clean the glass of
any remaining cement or bits of gasket.
2. Determine the correct length of gasket by laying it
out around the edge of the glass. Allow an extra 1
- 2” (25-51mm). Mark the spot to be cut. Use a utility
knife.
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. 39)
LG143
Red Glow
Fig. 40 Correct flame pattern.
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 mate-
rial 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 9.
Also be sure the logs are placed in the firebox correctly,
as shown in Page 12, Figures 19, 20.
