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 restrictor plate (supplied) must be
used (where specified) in all vertically terminated vent
systems. NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied with
the vertical termination should be discarded. Install
restrictor plate according to recommendations in
Figure 10. A vertically terminated vent system must
also conform to the following criteria:
The Stardance stove is shipped with a restrictor plate
in the Parts Bag. Adjustments can be made by loosen-
ing the adjustment screw to allow the restrictor plate to
slide up or down. (Fig. 9) A guide for usage is shown in
Figure 10.
NOTE: Some installations may require some adjust-
ment by the installer for optimum flame appearance.
Optimum flame appearance is a flame that is not sub-
ject to tall, dirty yellow flames producing soot or flames
lifting off of the ember bed ports.
• No more than three 90° elbows may be used. 90°
elbow off back must be transition elbow.
• Two 45° elbows may be substituted for one 90°
elbow. No more than six elbows may be used.
Restrictor Plate Adjustment
1. Remove the logs if installed.
• Vent must rise a minimum of 2 feet before offset is
used.
2. Remove the adjustment screw in the back wall of the

Stardance Direct Vent - Rear Vent Gas Heaters
Vent Termination Clearances
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
Figure 11.
Your stove is approved to be vented either through the
side wall, or vertical through the roof.
• CFM Corporation does not require any opening
for inspection of vent pipe.
Important: All vent clearances must be maintained.
Check your vent termination clearances against
Figures 11 and 12.
• Only CFM Corporation venting components spe-
cifically approved and labelled for this stove may
be used.
The vent should be placed so that people cannot be
burned by accidentally touching the vent surfaces when
the stove is operating.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipes and
combustible materials is one (1”) inch (25mm),
except where stated otherwise.
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.
• Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or
siding.
• Horizontal venting must be installed on a level plane
without an inclining or declining slope.
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes,
garden sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within
24” from the front of the termination hood.
Some considerations are:
• Obstructions or impediments to venting.
Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow
or ice build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termi-
nation area after snow falls, and clear to prevent ac-
cidental blockage of venting system. When using snow
blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent
termination area.
• Nearby combustible materials that could come into
contact with combustion exhaust gases.
• Other nearby openings {within 9” (230 mm)} through
which exhaust gas could reenter the building.
• All vegetation within 3’ (914 mm) that may interfere
with the draft.
Location of Vent Termination
Other factors that influence where the installation will
be sited include the location of outside walls, where
additional heat may be desired in the home, where the
family members gather most regularly, and perhaps
most importantly, the distance limitations of the venting
system.
It is imperative the vent termination be located observ-
ing the minimum clearances as shown in Figure 9.
IMPORTANT
• The horizontal termination must not be recessed
into the exterior wall or siding.
• Horizontal vent runs must be level toward the
vent termination.
• Clearances around the vent termination must be
maintained.

erly framed ceiling joist opening, using screws provided.
A round trim plate (TP) is attached to the ceiling, using
screws, to provide a finished appearance once in-
stalled. (Fig. 37)
2. Slide the length of pipe over the appliance outlet a
minimum of 1¹⁄₂” and screw to the appliance outlet
collar using a minimum of two (2) #8 x 1/4” sheet
metal screws.
Appliance Adapter (AAV)
The Cathedral Ceiling Support (CCS) may be used in
pitched or flat ceiling installations and comes with a
support collar and a decorative two part square trim
plate. Install by inserting the support box down through
the framed joist opening (end with round hole first) in
the ceiling using tin snips, cut the corners of the open
end of the box such that the sides can be folded down
over the top of the joist framing members. Nail the
folded sides to the top of the framing. (Fig. 38)
The appliance adapter (AAV) adapts DIRECT-TEMP to
most direct vent appliances incorporating outlet collars
configured to receive most common 4” (ID) 6⁵⁄₈” (OD) or
5” (ID) by 8” (OD) “Twist Lock” Style, direct vent sys-
tems.
The adapter incorporates two (2) indentations on the
outer wall of the inlet end, which are designed to “Twist
Lock” into place upon attachment to the appliance
outlet. Align the adapter indentations with the entry
slots of the appliance outlet and slide together. Turn the
adapter clockwise approximately one-quarter turn to
lock in place. The outlet end of the adapter is standard
DIRECT-TEMP construction.

(2.1 m) high. Refer to Pages 10, 11, Figures 11, 12 for
more detail.
Supporting DIRECT-TEMP: Horizontal Support
Horizontal runs of Direct-Temp should be supported
every 4’ (122 cm) of pipe. This can be done with the use
of plumbers strapping or the offset support.
2. Assemble the pipe (and elbow if using) and attach it
to the appliance. Plan for a level to 1/4” per foot rise (6
mm per 305 mm) (from inlet to outlet) in the horizontal
system if not specified by the appliance manufacturer.
Horizontal runs should be supported every 4’ (122 cm).
Adjustable Length (AJ)
An Adjustable Length is available to accommodate
installations where non-standard lengths are necessary.
The adjustable length telescopes down over a standard
length of pipe and provides an extension range of 3¹⁄₂”
(89 mm) to 10¹⁄₂” (267 mm). Install by sliding the inlet
end of the adjustable length over the outlet end of a
standard length of pipe. After positioning the adjustable
length appropriately, secure it to the standard length
with two (2) #8 x1/4” sheet metal screws (provided).

Fire Stopping
DIRECT-TEMP must be firestopped wherever it passes
through floors, ceiling or walls. The only location where
a firestop is not required is at the roof level. Both verti-
cal support components with trim plates provide for
firestopping. The wall thimble also acts as a firestop.
at other locations, a firestop spacer (FS) should be in-
stalled. In the attic the firestop should be placed on top
of the joist framing to prevent debris from falling into the
joist framing. (Fig. 41)

3. Push the appliance near the desired location. Deter-
mine the centerpoint of the penetration by locating the
centerline of the outlet of the pipe with respect to the wall.
4. Frame an opening to the dimension specified in the
Framing Dimension Table 1. Ensure the centerline of
the pipe lines up with the center of the prepared open-
ing unless otherwise specified by the appliance manu-
facturer.

NOTE: As a general rule, the wall thimble is optional in
the U.S. However, there may be some manufacturers
that require it. Contact the appliance manufacturer for
information if uncertain. When installed in Canada, a
wall thimble is required on all installations in which
the vent passes through a combustible wall.

the exterior wall using an RTV silicone sealant to provide
protection from possible rain infiltration. (Fig. 43)
Fig. 41 Firestop spacer.
Horizontal Installation
1. Determine the appliance location. Refer to the appli-
ance manufacturer’s installation instructions for clear-
ance to combustible requirements, termination options,
number of elbows, maximum length, etc. Then posi-
tion the appliance and plan vent routing accordingly.
Consider locating the appliance in a place where there
will be no interference with wall studs, electrical wir-
ing, conduit, plumbing pipe or other obstructions. The
termination should be located at least 12” (305 mm)
(Fig. 42) above grade, remain above the snow line in
geographical areas that accumulate snow and be away
NOTE: The wall thimble accommodates wall thickness-
es of 4¹⁄₂” (114 mm) to 7¹⁄₂” (191 mm). If a larger range
is needed due to a thicker wall, it is permissible to field
fabricate a metal sleeve extension and attach it to the
shields.
6. Install the horizontal termination to the exterior wall
using four (4) all purpose screws through the holes
located at each corner of the termination. Make sure
the arrow (embossed on the front of the termination)
is pointing up. (Fig. 44) If the house has vinyl siding,

Horizontal Termination
NOTE: If a vertical rise is necessary on the exterior side
of the building, a 14” (356 mm) and 36” (914 mm) Snor-
kel Termination (ST) is available. Follow the installation
procedures for horizontal terminations. If the snorkel
termination is to be located below grade, a window well
is recommended with adequate and proper drainage
as per local codes. Leave 2” (51 mm) clearance be-
low snorkel to prevent water from entering the snorkel
termination. Do not enclose the snorkel within a wall or
other type of enclosure and do not back fill. Ensure
that grade level slopes away from the building. (Fig. 42)
Vertical Installation (Fig. 46)

1. Determine the location of the appliance. Choose
a location which provides adequate clearance from
obstacles such as electrical wiring, conduit, framing
members, plumbing pipe, etc.

a Vinyl Siding Standoff (VS) must be installed prior to
installing the horizontal termination. Refer to the appli-
ance manufacturer to determine if one is recommend-
ed. Attach the vinyl siding standoff to the exterior side
of the wall (making sure it is level and centered with
respect to the opening) with screws (provided) at each
corner of the standoff. Attach the horizontal termination
to the standoff. (Fig. 45)
2. After positioning the appliance, determine where the
vent pipe will pass through the ceiling. This can be done
by using a plum bob or a small weight attached to a
string. Hold the plum bob from the ceiling moving it until
it lines up with the centerline of the outlet of the appli-
ance. Mark the position on the ceiling.
NOTE: Frame openings to the dimensions specified
in the framing table for the cathedral ceiling support
box (CCS), the ceiling support (SC) and wherever the
firestop spacer (FS) is being used.
If the wall is brick or concrete, and contains no com-
bustible material, a 7” (178 mm) round penetration
hole is adequate. The wall thimble is not required. The
perforated straps of the horizontal termination provide
a method of attachment. These can either be threaded
through the opening or wall thimble (if used) and
screwed to the pipe or removed with a pair of tin snips
if not used. Use proper masonry fasteners to attach the
horizontal termination to the wall.
3. Cut and frame the appropriate sized square hole
through the ceiling. Repeat the process for other ceiling
penetrations as necessary.
4. Determine and mark the roof penetration in the
same manner.
7. If a wall thimble is used, push the pipe (which is
connected to the appliance) carefully through the wall
thimble until the DIRECT-TEMP pipe becomes fully
engaged with the horizontal termination. If no thimble is
used, place the Trim Plate (TP) on the DIRECT-TEMP
pipe. Carefully push the DIRECT-TEMP pipe through
5. Cut a hole in the roof at this point large enough to
satisfy all clearance-to-combustible requirements as
specified by the appliance manufacturer’s installation
instructions.

7. Determine the distance from the appliance outlet to
a point just above [approximately 12” (305 mm) to 24”
(610 mm)] either the cathedral ceiling support box or
the ceiling support plate and assemble lengths of pipe
to satisfy this distance. Do not attach assembly to appli-
ance.
13. Slide the flashing, suitable for the roof pitch, down
over the pipe protruding through the roof. Recheck
orientation and use a silicone sealant around and under
the perimeter of the flashing where it is in contact with
the roof. Secure the flashing with roofing nails. Finish
roofing around the pipe, covering the sides and upper
ares of the flashing base with roofing material. How-
ever, be sure the lower unnailed portion of the base
covers the roofing material.
8. Loosely position the support collar around the as-
sembled lengths (flared end down).
9. From above, lower the assembled pipe sections
down through the cathedral ceiling box or ceiling sup-
port plate and attach it to the appliance adapter. The
support collar should then be adjusted so that when
the assembled lengths of pipe are attached to the ap-
pliance, it rests on the bottom of the cathedral ceiling
support box on top of the ceiling support plate.
14. Position the storm collar around the pipe and slide
down until it is in contact with the flashing. Secure the
storm collar by inserting the two (2) tabs into the raised
slots and fold tabs back. Seal the area between the
storm collar and the vent pipe with a silicone sealant to
prevent rain infiltration.
10. Tighten the tabs of the collar. Secure the sup-
port collar by inserting three (3) #8 x 1/4” sheet metal

SIT NOVA 820 MILLIVOLT VALVE
NOTE: Before trouble shooting the gas control system, be sure external gas shut off is in the “On” position.
Possible Causes
Symptom
Corrective Action
1. Spark ignitor will not light
A. Defective or misaligned electrode
at pilot
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and
push the red button again. If pilot will not light - check
gap at electrode and pilot-should be 1/8” to have a
strong spark.
With the control knob in the pilot position, push the
control knob all the way and hold. Check for spark at
electrode and pilot. If no spark to pilot, and electrode
wire is properly connected, replace the battery in the
ignitor module and try again. Refer to Maintenance
Section. If the problem still exists, replace the ignitor
module box.
B. Defective ignitor (Push Button)
Check pilot flame. Must impinge on thermocouple/ther-
mopile. NOTE: This pilot burner assembly utilizes both
a thermocouple and a thermopile. The thermocouple
operates the main valve operation (On and Off). Clean
and or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement on
thermopile and thermocouple.
2. Pilot will not stay lit after
carefully following lighting
instructions
A. Defective pilot generator (thermo-
couple), remote wall switch
B. Defective automatic valve
Turn valve knob to “Pilot”. Maintain flow to pilot; millivolt
meter 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.
Check wall switch and wires for proper connections.
Jumper wire across terminals at wall switch, if burner
comes on, replace defective wall switch.. If okay,
jumper wires across wall switch wires at valve, if burner
comes on, wires are faulty or connections are bad.
3. Pilot burning, no gas to
main burner
A. Wall switch or wires defective
1. Be sure wire connections form thermopile at gas
valve terminals are tight and thermopile is fully
inserted into pilot bracket.
B. Thermopile may not be generat-
ing sufficient millivoltage
2. One of the wall switch wires may be grounded. Re-
move wall switch wires form valve terminals if pilot
now stays lit, trace wall switch wiring for ground.
May be grounded to fireplace or gas supply.
3. Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading
at thermopile terminals of gas valve. Should read
250-300 millivolts (minimum 150) while holding
valve knob depressed in pilot position and wall
switch “Off”. Replace faulty thermopile if reading is
below specified minimum.
C. Plugged burner orifice
Check burner orifices for debris and remove.
Turn valve knob to “On”, place wall switch to “On”
millivolt meter should read greater than 150mV. If the
reading is okay and the burner does not come on,
replace the gas valve.
D. Defective automatic valve opera-
tor
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame
impingement on thermopile and thermocouple.
4. Frequent pilot outage
problem
A. Pilot flame may be too low or
blowing (high) causing the pilot
safety to drop out
B. Possible blockage of the vent
terminal
Check the vent terminal for blockage (recycling the flue
gases).

If the manual switch is in the REMOTE position, the
transmitter can shut off the main burner and fan. How-
ever, the control is still on and a command from the
transmitter can turn on the main burner or fan.
Operation
1. If the manual switch is in remote position, switch it to
LOCAL. (Fig. 59)
To shut off the system, turn the pilotstat knob clockwise
to the OFF position. This action closes the main gas
and safety valves. The transmitter cannot turn on the
main burner or fan.
2. Turn the pilotstat knob counterclockwise from OFF
to the PILOT position, push the knob down, and hold
in position. The pilot valve opens and allows gas to
flow to the pilot burner.
3. Push plunger on the piezo until the pilot burner is lit.
When the pilot burner is lit, the LED on the control
will come on after approximately 40 seconds and
will provide 1 short blink continuously in the normal
mode. When the light turns off which will be approxi-
mately 10 seconds after it has been continuously
red, the receiver/valve is fully powered.
Transmitter Operation
Off Mode
In the OFF mode, the fireplace flame and fan are
off, the display will show OFF and displays the room
temperature. If the receiver is in REMOTE mode, the
fireplace will shut off.

Stardance Direct Vent - Rear Vent Gas Heaters
Maintenance
Your Stardance Gas Heater will provide years of ser-
Cleaning the Glass
vice with minimal upkeep. The following procedures
will help ensure that your stove continues to function
properly.
WARNING: Let the glass cool completely
before attempting to clean.
Annual System Inspection
�
�������
Have the entire heater and venting system inspected
annually by a qualified gas technician. Replace any
worn or broken parts.
��������������
������������
������������������
Logset and Burner
Cleaning and Inspection
�������������
��������������������
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.
���������������
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.
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. 78)
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.
4. Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact
your local dealer if any damage is evident. DO NOT
OPERATE THE HEATER WITH DAMAGED LOGS.
Clean glass after first two weeks of opera-
tion.
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.
Glass Replacement
Replace glass only with CFM Corporation approved
parts. Refer to Page 45 for Replacement Parts. Refer
to Figures 78 & 79 to remove 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.

NOTE: Shown
without top for
clarity.
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
To ensure that the stove is operating properly, check
the flames periodically to confirm that they match Fig-
ure 81. The flames will be blue during the first 15-20
minutes of operation, and will gradually turn to yellow
after that.
ST391a
Fig. 79 Release the latches to release the glass frame.
Gasket Replacement
The Stardance Gas Heater use 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.
Figure 81
1. Remove the Front, Glass Frame and Glass Panel.
(Figs. 78, 79) Remove the old gasket. Use a ra-
zor 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.
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.
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 about 6”
at a time and being careful to not stretch the mate-
rial. Do not overlap the gasket ends. (Fig. 80)
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” (152 mm) 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.
5. Replace the glass frame and front panel as previ-
ously described.
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.
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
15. Also be sure the logs are placed in the firebox cor-
rectly, as shown on Page 29.
