CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when  
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and  
dangerous operation.  
An accessible tap is located above the pilot/On-Off knob for  
checking the inlet pressure.  
‘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.

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.  
 
 
 
��  
Plate*  
All vegetation within 3’ (76 mm) that may interfere  
with the draft.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.

Vent Termination Clearances  
Your stove is approved to be vented either through the  
side wall, or vertical through the roof.  
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.  
CFM Corporation does not require any opening  
for inspection of vent pipe.  
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.  
Only CFM Corporation and Simpson DuraVent  
venting components specifically approved and  
labelled for this stove may be used.  
Minimum clearances between vent pipes and  
combustible materials is one (1”) inch (25 mm),  
except where stated otherwise.  
Location of Vent Termination  
It is imperative the vent termination be located observ-  
ing the minimum clearances as shown on this page.  
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.

WARNING  
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong  
(grounded) plug for your protection against shock  
hazard and should be plugged directly into a  
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not  
cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.  
Install the Optional Fan  
If you are installing the optional convection Fan Kit  
#2767 (FK26), continue here. It is easiest to install fan  
kit before connecting gas line. If you are not installing a  
Fan Kit, go to Page 15, Venting System Assembly.

1. The fan kit includes a Blower Assembly and a Rheo-  
stat Assembly, connected by a cable. (Fig. 14) The  
Blower Assembly mounts to the bottom rear of the  
stove, and the Rheostat mounts to the valve cover-  
plate. The assembly includes a ‘snapstat’ which au-  
tomatically turns the fan On (or Off) above (or below)  
approximately 109˚. The Rheostat also provides a  
range of fan speed settings from Off (which overrides  
the snapstat function) to High. Unpack and inspect  
the Blower assembly. Confirm that the fan spins  
freely.

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.

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.

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.

Remote Controls  
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 po-  
sition the shelf and adjust the brackets so the shelf fits  
correctly. Finally, you tighten the screws.  
The remote control allows you to turn the heater on or  
off from anywhere in the room. Refer to Page 35 for  
wiring diagrams. These remote controls are for use with  
RN/RP models.
