Radiance Direct Vent /Natural Vent Gas Heater

20004188

The Radiance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater, Model

Nos. 3350 thru 3354, 3360 thru 3369 and 3390 thru 3399, is a

vented gas appliance listed to the ANSI standard Z21.88b-2002

and CSA-2.33b-2002 for Vented Room Heaters, and CSA 2.17-

M91, Gas-Fired Appliances For Use at High Altitudes.

The installation of the Radiance Direct Vent/Natural Vent

Room Heater must conform with local codes, or in the absence

of local codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA

54 — latest edition and CSA B-149.1 Installation Code. (EX-

CEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for altitude. Maintain

the manifold pressure at 3.5 inches w.c. for Natural Gas and

10 inches w.c. for LP gas at maximum input.) Refer to Page

30 (RF only).

This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated

on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with

other gases unless a certified kit is used.

Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utiliza-

tion equipment or accessories, and repair and servicing of

equipment shall be performed only by a qualified agency.

The term “qualified agency” means any individual, firm,

corporation, or company that either in person or through

a representative is engaged in and is responsible for (a)

installation or replacement of gas piping, or (b), the con-

nection, installation, repair, or servicing of equipment, who

is experienced in such work, familiar with all precautions

required, and has complied with all the requirements of the

authority having jurisdiction.

The Radiance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater

should be inspected before use and at least annually by a

qualified service agency. It is imperative that control com-

partments, burners, and circulating air passageways of the

appliance be kept clean.

The Radiance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater and

its individual shut-off 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).

The Radiance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater must

be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its

individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of

the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less

than 1/2 psig.

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.

This appliance is approved for bedroom installations in the

U.S. and Canada. Check local codes for natural vent require-

ments.

This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manu-

factured (mobile) home, where not prohibited by state or local

codes.

WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected

to a properly installed and maintained venting system can

result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible

death.

The Radiance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater, when

installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with lo-

cal codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National

Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, (latest edition), or of the current

Canadian Electrical Code C22.1.

Due to high temperatures this appliance should be located

out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

WARNING: This appliance is hot while in operation. Keep

children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause

burns or ignition of combustible materials.

Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of

high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid

burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be care-

fully supervised when they are in the same room as the

appliance.

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 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.

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.

Some considerations are:

• Obstructions or impediments to venting.

• Nearby combustible materials that could come into

contact with combustion exhaust gases.

• Other nearby openings {within 12” (305 mm)}

through which exhaust gas could reenter the build-

ing.

• 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.

Vertical Termination - Direct Vent ONLY

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:

• 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.

• Vent must rise a minimum of 2 feet before offset is

used.

• Termination height must conform to roof clearance

as specified in Figure 9.

Vent Termination Clearances

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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

Location of Vent Termination

It is imperative the vent termination be located observ-

ing the minimum clearances as shown on this page.

Venting System Assembly - Natural Vent

General Information

The Radiance Heater is shipped from the factory as a

Direct Vent Heater. It may be converted to a Natural

Vent heater by installing the Vermont Castings Model

Z31D00 FSDHAG Draft Hood Adapter.

The Radiance Heater is approved for installation as

a Natural Vent unit. Vermont Castings/Majestic Direct

Vent outer pipe (7FSSK) could be used directly after

the Draft Hood Adapter up to the ceiling, then B-vent

pipe must be used. Do not mix types of B-vent pipe;

use components from one maker or the another. Follow

the vent component maker’s instructions exactly. (Fig.

34)

NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied with the stove

is not used for Natural Vent applications.

7. Install the appropriate roof support and flashing,

making certain that the upper flange of the flashing

base is below the shingles. (Fig. 33)

8. Install appropriate pipe sections until the vent run

reaches above the flashing. The enlarged ends of

the vent sections always face downward.

9. Install the storm collar and seal around the joints.

(Fig. 33)

10. Add additional vent lengths to achieve the proper

overall height.

11. Apply cement to the inner and outer termination col-

lars and install the terminal cap.

1. Remove the logs from their packaging, and inspect

each piece for damage. DO NOT INSTALL DAM-

AGED LOGS. The rear log bracket is shipped pack-

aged with the logs.

2. Install the rear left log by placing it on the sheet

metal shelf at the back of the firebox. (Fig. 39) The

log should touch the back wall of the firebox. Slide

the log to the left until the left side lines up with the

left bracket. (Fig. 39) When the log is in place the

left front corner of the log should rest on the decora-

tive grate.

3. Install the rear right log by placing it on the sheet

metal shelf at the back toward the right. Make

sure the right side of the log lines up with the right

bracket. (Fig. 39) NOTE: When the right and left rear

logs are in place, they should touch the back of the

firebox and each other.

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.

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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

Check burner orifices for debris, and remove.

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.

Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame im-

pingement on thermocouple and thermopile.

Check the vent terminal for blockage.

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.

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.

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.

4. Release the knob. The shaft will move upward. The

pilot burner should now stay burning. If the pilot

burner goes out, repeat step 2.

5. Turn the knob counterclockwise to the ON position.

If the manual switch is in the LOCAL position, the

main burner will turn on immediately.

6. ON the initial use of a transmitter, a recognition

operation is required between the receiver/valve

and transmitter. Change the switch from LOCAL

to REMOTE. Press the fan or flame button on the

transmitter within 30 seconds. The LED will blink

indicating the transmitter will now work with the re-

ceiver/valve. If the switch continues in the REMOTE

position, the transmitter will now control the main

valve, flame modulation level and fan control.

7. If the manual switch is in the LOCAL position, the

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.

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.

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.

receiver/valve and transmitter are now ready. Press

any button on transmitter for recognition process to

occur between the receiver/valve and transmitter.

3. Use functions as described in TRANSMITTER sec-

tion.

Troubleshooting

1. Locate LED light on valve.

2. LED will blink after every valid command received by

the transmitter; this is not an error.

3. Failure codes may occur anytime after pilot burner is

lit.

4. Sequence is failure code followed by light not blink-

ing for 30 seconds.

5. In the event of multiple failure codes, next failure

code follows previous failure code by approximately

3 seconds.

If an Error Code 3 is observed while performing the

testing, complete the following:

1. Make sure the spade connectors are pushed all the

way on. If rhe Error Code 3 is still showing, then go

to the next step.

2. Switch the front two thermopile leads with the back

two. Be sure the white lead is connected to the

spade with the white dot next to it. If the Error Code

3 is still showing, replace the thermopiles.

If an Error Code 8 is observed while performing the

testing, complete the following:

1. Confirm the valve is not in REMOTE mode.

• If the valve is producing Error Code 8 and in RE-

MOTE mode, the valve is defective and should be

replaced.

• If the valve is in LOCAL mode and producing Error

Code 8, then go to the next step.

2. Slide the Remote/Local switch to REMOTE and

teach the valve a transmitter (see item 6, page 32).

The Error Code will clear itself after approximately

1.5 minutes and return to normal operation.

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.

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.

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.

4. Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your

local dealer if any damage is evident.

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.

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.

CAUTION

TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING.

ALLOW THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY

BEFORE PAINTING.

Cleaning the Glass

WARNING: Allow the glass cool completely before

attempting to clean.

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.

Clean glass after first two weeks of opera-

tion.

Glass Replacement

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.

Radiance Direct Vent /Natural Vent Gas Heater

20004188

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.

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.

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.

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

Figure 67. The flames will be blue during the first 15-20

minutes of operation, and will gradually turn to yellow

after that.

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.
