‘Direct Vent’ describes a sealed combustion system in which
incoming outside air for combustion and outgoing exhaust enter
and exit through two separate concentric passages within the
same sealed vent system. The system does not use room air
to support combustion. The Direct Vent system permits the
gas appliance to be vented directly to the outside atmosphere
through the side of the house or vertically through the roof.
Conventional venting systems (Natural Vent) take air from the
room for combustion and vent the exhaust vertically through the
roof to the atmosphere.
Verify proper operation after servicing.

This appliance is approved for bedroom installations in the
U.S. and Canada. Check local codes for natural vent require-
ments.
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning
or oil fired appliances, and the products of combustion of
such fuels, contain chemicals known to the State of Cali-
fornia to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive
harm.

Fig. 2 Possible stove locations.
The surface of the Heater Is hot when it is in use.
Young children should be watched carefully when
they are in the same room when the Heater is in
use, and they should be taught to avoid the hot
surface. Keep any objects that can burn well away
from the Heater, and observe the recommended
clearances that follow.
Clearance Requirements
Minimum Clearances to Combustible Materials
Measure side clearances as shown in Figures 3, 4 and
5 from the outer edge of the cast iron stove top. Mea-
sure rear clearances from the outermost surface of the
steel rear skirt.
Locating The Stove
The Radiance heater is approved for installation into
an alcove constructed of combustible materials to the
dimensions and clearances shown on the next page.
In choosing a location for the stove, consider:
• The location of outside walls;
The same clearances apply in a standard parallel instal-
lation.
• Where additional heat is needed:
• Where family members gather most often;
• The vent system requirements.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of wallpaper
next to this stove. Over time, radiant heat may cause
the wallpaper to shrink, or may adversely affect the
binders in the wallpaper adhesive.
WARNING:
• Always maintain required clearances
(air spaces) to nearby combustibles
to prevent fire hazard. Do not fill air
spaces with insulation. All venting components
must maintain a 1” (25mm) clearance to com-
bustible materials. Maintain a 6” (150mm) clear-
ance when using single wall pipe.
• The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.
• Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions includ-
ed with the venting system for complete instal-
lation procedures.

Vertical Termination - Direct Vent ONLY
Vent Termination Clearances
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 2¹⁄₄" restrictor plate (supplied) must
be used, where specified, in all vertically terminated
vent systems. (Refer to Figure 8) NOTE: The restrictor
plate supplied with the vertical termination should
be discarded. Install restrictor plate supplied with
stove directly at stove outlet. A vertically terminated
vent system must also conform to the following criteria:
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 9.
Important: All vent clearances must be maintained.
Check your vent termination clearances against
Figures 9 through 11.
The vent should be placed so that people cannot be
burned by accidentally touching the vent surfaces when
the stove is operating.
• No more than three 90° elbows may be used.
• Two 45° elbows may be substituted for one 90˚
elbow. No more than six 45° elbows may be used.
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.
• Vent must rise a minimum of 2 feet before offset is
used.
• Termination height must conform to roof clearance
as specified in Figure 9.
Some considerations are:
• Obstructions or impediments to venting.
��
��
• Nearby combustible materials that could come into
contact with combustion exhaust gases.
��
All Vertical Termi-
nations in this area
Require use of
the 2¹⁄₄” Restrictor
��
• Other nearby openings {within 12” (305 mm)}
through which exhaust gas could reenter the build-
ing.

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.

Radiance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
The Radiance stove, when installed as a Natural vent
heater, includes a vent safety switch. (Page 34, Figure
67) Operating the stove when it is not connected to a
properly installed and maintained venting system, or
tampering with or disconnecting the vent safety switch,
can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and
possible death.
Install Log Set
Before beginning log installation, remove stove front
and glass frame. Refer to Figures 36 and 37.
For U.S. installations: The venting system must
conform with local codes and/or the current National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z22.1.
For Canadian installations: The venting system must
conform to the current CSA B149.1 installation code.
Install the Vent Pipe
Apply a bead of sealant around bottom end of inner
starter pipe (found in bag with logset) and attach to
stove. Apply a bead of sealant around top of inner
starter pipe and install the Z31D00 FSDHAG Draft
Hood according to Draft Hood instructions. (Fig. 35)
ST139
Fig. 36 Remove the stove front.
Attach the first section of venting to the draft hood.
Depending on the length of the individual venting
sections and the lengths of the decorative pipe (if
installed), 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. If the layout includes
a slip section, this should be the last section of pipe
visible in the room, at the ceiling. Complete the venting
according to the vent maker’s instructions.

NOTE: Before troubleshooting the gas control system, be sure the external gas shutoff is in the “ON” position.
WARNING: REMOVE THE GLASS PANEL BEFORE PERFORMING ANY GAS CONTROL SERVICE WORK.
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Spark ignitor will
not light
A. Defective or misaligned
electrode at the pilot
Using a match, light pilot. 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.
B. Defective ignitor (push but-
ton)
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 and a thermopile. The thermocou-
ple operates the pilot flame. Tighten the thermocouple.
The thermopile operates the main valve (ON and OFF).
Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame impinge-
ment on thermocouple and thermopile.
2. Pilot will not stay lit
after carefully fol-
lowing the lighting
instructions
B. Defective automatic valve
operator
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.
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.
3. Pilot lights, no gas
to burner, valve
knob ON, remote
switch (rocker
switch) ON
B. Thermopile may not gener-
ate sufficient voltage
1. Be sure wire connections from thermopile at gas valve
terminals are tight and thermopile is fully inserted into
pilot bracket.
2. One of the rocker switch wires may be grounded.
Remove rocker switch wires from valve terminals. If
burner now stays lit, trace rocker switch wiring from
ground. It may be grounded to the appliance or the
gas supply line.
3. Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take read-
ing at thermopile (“TP” and “TP/TH”) terminals of gas
valve. Should read 325 millivolts minimum while hold-
ing valve knob depressed in PILOT position and with
rocker switch OFF. Replace faulty thermopile if reading
is below specified minimum.
C. Plugged burner orifice
Check burner orifices for debris, and remove.
D. Defective automatic valve
operator
Turn knob to ON, place rocker switch to ON, millivolt me-
ter should read greater than 10 mV. If the reading is okay
and the burner does not light, replace the valve.
A. Pilot flame may be too low
or high, (blowing or lifting),
causing the pilot to drop out
B. Possible blockage of the
vent terminal
4. Frequent pilot out-
age
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame im-
pingement on thermocouple and thermopile.
Check the vent terminal for blockage.

valve will be at the highest fixed pressure setting
and the fan will be at the highest fixed speed. The
transmitter will control the fan only.
Instructions for RF Comfort Control Valve
The Comfort Control valve allows remote control of
temperature, fan and flame appearance.
NOTE: The antenna should hang in free air away from
grounded metal.
Shut Off Procedure
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. 49)
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.
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.
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.

Radiance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
Maintenance
Your Radiance Gas Heater will provide years of service
with minimal upkeep. The following procedures will help
ensure that your stove continues to function properly.
CAUTION
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: Allow the glass cool completely before
attempting 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. 64)
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.
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 37 for Replacement Parts. Refer to
Figure 65 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.

ST179
Fig. 66 Wrap the gasket material around the outside edge of
the glass.
ST141
Inspect the Vent System Annually
Fig. 65 Release the latches to remove the glass frame.
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.
Gasket Replacement
The Radiance 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.
Check the Gas Flame Regularly
To ensure that the stove is operating properly, check
the flames periodically to confirm that they match
Figure 67. The flames will be blue during the first 15-20
minutes of operation, and will gradually turn to yellow
after that.
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. 62 & 63) Remove the old gasket. Use a
razor 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.
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.
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 a bout 6”
at a time and being careful to not stretch the mate-
rial. Do not overlap the gasket ends. (Fig. 66)
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.

FK26 Fan
An optional screen, R40SK, for use with the operable
doors is available 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 tem-
perature rises above and falls below a preset tempera-
ture. 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.
