The Radiance Direct Vent Room Heater, Model Nos. RADVTCB,

RADVTEB, RADVTMB, RADVTBS, RADVTCH, RADVTVG,

RADVTBD, RADVTBB, RADVTCG, RADVTGG, RADVTSG,

RADVTCCB, RADVTCEB, RADVTCMB, RADVTCBS, RAD-

VTCCH, RADVTCVG, RADVTCBD, RADVTCBB, RADVTCCG,

RADVTCSG, is a vented gas appliance listed to the ANSI

standard Z21.88-2005 and CSA-2.33-2005 for Vented Room

Heaters, and CSA 2.17-M91, Gas-Fired Appliances For Use at

High Altitudes.

The installation of the Radiance Direct 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 edi-

tion and CSA B-149.1 Installation Code. (EXCEPTION: 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.)

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 utilization

equipment or accessories, and repair and servicing of equip-

ment shall be performed only by a qualified agency, preferably

NFI or WETT (Canada) certified. 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 connection, installation, repair, or servic-

ing 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 Room Heater should be inspected

before use and at least annually by a qualified service

agency. It is imperative that control compartments, burn-

ers, and circulating air passageways of the appliance be

kept clean.

The Radiance Direct 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 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 en-

ter 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.

This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manufactured

(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 Room Heater, when installed, must

be electrically grounded in accordance with local 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

on or near the appliance.

Any safety screen, glass or guard removed for servicing

an appliance must be replaced prior to operating the ap-

pliance.

The appliance area must be kept clear and free from com-

bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors

and liquids.

The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be ob-

structed. The installation must include adequate accessibility

and clearance for servicing and proper operation.

WARNING: Do not operate the Room Heater with the glass

panel removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the panel

should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the

appliance and to replace any part of the control system and

any gas control which has been under water.

Do not burn wood, trash or any other material for which this

appliance was not designed. This appliance is designed to

burn either natural gas or propane only.

Restrictor Plate Adjustment

for Extended Pipe Runs

The Radiance 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.

Restrictor Plate Adjustment

1. Remove the screw in the back wall of the firebox.

2. Install restrictor plate as shown in Figure 9 with cut

out on left side. Secure with adjustment screw.

2. Measure from center of screw to top edge of diverter

(Fig. 9) to adjust plate according to guidelines in

Figure 10.

3. Tighten attachment screw.

4. Install logs following log installation instructions.

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, Simpson DuraVent and

Selkirk Corporation venting components specifi-

cally 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.

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.

Important: All vent clearances must be maintained.

Check your vent termination clearances against

Figures 11 through 13.

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.

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.

• For installations using Simpson DuraVent pipe,

parallel installations with minimum wall clearance

have restricted access for connecting the Hori-

zontal Vent Cap straps to the vent pipe. See the

maker’s instructions for recommended installa-

tion procedures.

lars configured to receive most common 4” (ID) by 6⁵⁄₈”

(OD) or 5” (ID) by 8” (OD) “Twist Lock” style, direct vent

systems.

The adapter incorporates two 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 appli-

ance outlet and slide together. Turn the adapter clock-

wise approximately one-quarter turn to lock in place.

The outlet end of the adapter is standard DIRECT-

TEMP construction.

For connection of Direct-Temp to units with 4” x 7” flue

outlets, the following methods have been approved:

• Install the Universal/Napoleon Appliance Adapter

4DT-AAN.

• Connect a standard Direct-Temp pipe length (do

not use an adjustable length in this application) a

minimum of 1¹⁄₂” over the flue outlet. The outside of

the Direct-Temp Length will fit inside the flue outlet

Secure with a minimum of two #8 x 1/4” sheet metal

screws and seal with hi-temp silicone.

For units factory equipped with appliance adapters from

other brands of Direct Vent systems, it is permissible

to simply slide a length of DT pipe over the appliance

adapter. Secure with a minimum of two #8 x 1/4” sheet

metal screws and seal with hi-temp silicone.

Side Wall Termination Assembly

1. Locate the vent opening on the wall. Refer to Page

7, Figure 5, to determine the opening centerline.

It may be necessary to first position the stove and

measure to find the hole location. Depending on

whether the wall is made of combustible materials,

cut the opening to the size shown in Figure 24. Com-

bustible wall openings must be framed as shown in

Vent Termination Below Grade

Install Snorkel Kit #7FSDVSKS when it is not possible

to meet the required vent termination clearances of 12”

(305 mm) above grade level. The snorkel kit will allow

installation depth of down to 7” (178 mm) below grade

level. The seven inches is measured from the center of

the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates the wall. If the

venting system is installed below grade, a window

well must be installed with adequate and proper

drainage. (Fig. 31)

NOTE: Be sure to maintain side wall clearances and

vent run restrictions. Refer to Page 7, Figures 3, 4, 5, 6.

1. Establish the vent hole through the wall.

2.

Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16” (406 mm)

below the base of the snorkel. Install a window well

(not supplied). Refill the hole with 12” (305 mm) of

coarse gravel and maintain a clearance of at least 4”

(102 mm) below the snorkel. (Fig. 31)

3. Install the vent system as described on Pages 16-18.

4. Be sure to make a watertight joint around the vent

pipe joint at the inside and outside wall joints.

5. Apply high temperature sealant around the inner

and outer snorkel collars. Join the pipes and fasten

the snorkel termination to the wall with the screws

provided.

6. Level the soil to maintain a 4” clearance below the

snorkel.

If the foundation is recessed, use extension brack-

ets (not supplied) to fasten the lower portion of the

snorkel. Fasten the brackets to the wall first, and

then fasten to the snorkel with self-tapping #8 x 1/2”

This installation will require you to first determine the

roof pitch and use the appropriate vent components.

Refer to Figure 11 on Page 11.

1. Locate the final position of the stove, observing all

clearances for both the vent and the stove.

2. Plumb to the center of the inner (4”) flue collar from

the ceiling above, and mark that location.

3. Cut the opening:

CFM System: 9³⁄₈” x 9³⁄₈” (240 x 240 mm)

DuraVent System: 10” x 10” (254 x 254 mm)

4. Plumb any additional opening through the roof or

other construction that may be needed. In all cases,

the opening must provide a minimum of 1” (25 mm)

clearance to the vent pipe.

5. Place the stove in its final position.

6. Install firestop(s) #7DVFS and Attic Insulation Shield

#7DVAIS as needed. (Fig. 32) If there is a room

above ceiling level, a firestop must be installed on

both the bottom and top sides of the ceiling joists.

If an attic is above ceiling level, an attic insulation

shield must be installed.

Installation Instructions

1. Determine whether the length of pipe fits the appli-

ance outlet by attempting to engage the parts. If the

parts engage smoothly, proceed to Step 2. If ob-

structions, interference or loose fit is noted, contact

the appliance manufacturer or Selkirk Metalbestos

with the dimensions of the appliance outlet.

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 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.

Use of Sealant

It is not required to apply or use sealant on the inner

liner of DIRECT-TEMP. For outer wall joint sealing

considerations, follow appliance manufacturer recom-

mendations.

Joint Connection:

The pipe and elbows are assembled by inserting the

outlet (male) end of a length of pipe or elbow into the in-

let (female) end of an adjacent length of pipe or elbow.

Make sure the outlet end is fully seated within the inlet

end of the adjoining section and the gasket, located on

the inner liner of the inlet section is fully enclosed by the

inner liner of the outlet of the adjoining section. Push

in the Lock Tab such that it becomes seated within the

inward groove of the adjoining section. This locks the

joint in place. (Fig. 34)

Supporting DIRECT-TEMP: Vertical Support

Vertical installations can be supported by two methods:

A two-part square trim plate is provided to give a fin-

ished look once installed. Simply fit the two halves of

the trim plate around the cathedral ceiling support box

hanging below the ceiling (overlapping if necessary)

and screw them to the ceiling. Both the ceiling support

and cathedral ceiling support can support a maximum

of 40’ (12 m) of pipe.

Offsets:

If any offsets are necessary in the vertical system, an

Offset Support (OS) should be installed directly above

the upper elbow of the offset. Install by attaching the

offset support band to the pipe with two #8 x 1/4” sheet

metal screws (minimum ) and secure the offset support

straps to surrounding structure. (Fig. 38)

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.

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).

Seal the area between both the top and bottom of the

adjustable length outer wall and the outer wall of the

standard length with an approved silicone sealant.

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

installed. In the attic the firestop should be placed on

top of the joist framing to prevent debris from falling into

the joist framing. (Fig. 39)

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. 40) above grade, remain above the snow line in

geographical areas that accumulate snow and be away

2424

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).

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.

5. If required, install the outside half of the wall thimble

(WT) through the opening and screw or nail in place. (Fig.

41) Seal around the perimeter of the thimble face plate on

the exterior wall using an RTV silicone sealant to provide

protection from possible rain infiltration. (Fig. 41)

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. 42) If the house has vinyl siding,

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.

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

the wall until fully engaged with the horizontal termina-

tion. Secure the trim plate to the wall.

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. 40)

Vertical Installation (Fig. 44)

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.

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.

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.

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.

6. Install the ceiling support cathedral ceiling support

box assembly, as appropriate.

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.

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.

10. Tighten the tabs of the collar. Secure the sup-

port collar by inserting three (3) #8 x 1/4” sheet metal

screws through the support collar and the outer wall of

the pipe.

the assembled pipe to the appliance. Determine and

mark the location of where the support collar will be at-

tached to the pipe. Disconnect and remove assembled

pipe. Attach the support collar per Step 10 (where

marked) and reinstall assembly. This is due to limited

space within the cathedral ceiling support box. Install

any required offset supports.

11. Add lengths of pipe and firestop as necessary

until assembly extends to a point above the roof which

complies with local code requirements for minimum ter-

mination height and with the appliance manufacturer’s

installation instructions. (Fig. 45)

NOTE: Whenever DIRECT-TEMP penetrates through a

ceiling, a floor or a wall, it must be firestopped.

12. Using a level, make sure the system is perfectly

vertical.

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.

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.

15. Install the vertical termination (VC) by inserting it

down into the top most section of pipe until it is fully

seated. Depress lock tab to secure the cap to the pipe.

NOTE: In high wind areas, it is recommended to screw

termination to the pipe with two (2) #8 x 1/4” sheet

metal screws. The screws should be approximately 3/4”

from the bottom of the vertical termination’s galvanized

collar.

The Radiance 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 1/2” NPT on the valve side and 1/2” natural

gas supply line with an input of 38,000 BTUs at a

manifold pressure of 3.5” between minimum inlet

supply of 5.5” w.c. and maximum of 14.0” w.c.

In order to connect Propane, use a fitting with 1/2”

NPT on the valve side and 1/2” propane gas sup-

ply line with an input of 36,000 BTUs at a manifold

pressure of 10.0” between a minimum inlet supply

of 11.0” w.c. and maximum of 14.0” w.c.

SIT NOVA 820 MILLIVOLT VALVE

Symptom

1. Spark ignitor will not light

2. Pilot will not stay lit after

carefully following lighting

instructions

3. Pilot burning, no gas to

main burner

4. Frequent pilot outage

problem

Possible Causes

A. Defective or misaligned electrode

at pilot

B. Defective ignitor (Push Button)

A. Defective pilot generator (thermo-

couple), remote wall switch

B. Defective automatic valve

A. Wall switch or wires defective

B. Thermopile may not be generat-

ing sufficient millivoltage

C. Plugged burner orifice

D. Defective automatic valve opera-

tor

A. Pilot flame may be too low or

blowing (high) causing the pilot

safety to drop out

B. Possible blockage of the vent

terminal

Corrective Action

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.

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.

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.

1. Be sure wire connections form thermopile at gas

valve terminals are tight and thermopile is fully

inserted into pilot bracket.

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.

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.

Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame

impingement on thermopile and thermocouple.

Check the vent terminal for blockage (recycling the flue

gases).

Instructions for Comfort Control Valve

RADVTC Series

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. 57)

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.

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.

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. 76)

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 to cool com-

pletely 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 44 for Replacement Parts. Refer to

Figure 77 and previous instructions for removal of the

damaged glass frame.

4242

Radiance Direct Vent Gas Heater

20012697

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. 76 & 77) 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

protective 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 material. Do not

overlap the gasket ends. (Fig. 78)

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 material 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 they match Figure 79.

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.

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

CFM Corporation (hereinafter referred to as CFM) warrants that all

cast iron parts, the combustion chamber, ceramic burner, and heat

exchanger of every Vermont Castings gas product will be free of

defective material or workmanship during the period the product

is owned by the original owner subject to proof of purchase and

the conditions and limitations listed on this warranty document.

BASIC ONE-YEAR WARRANTY

CFM warrants to the original owner that your new Vermont Castings

Gas Appliance is free from defects in material or workmanship

for a period of one year from the date of purchase, subject to the

following conditions and limitations. Labor to replace these parts

is covered for one year, reimbursed per our warranty service fee

schedule.

COMPONENT WARRANTY LIMITATATIONS

PORCELAIN ENAMEL FINISHED PARTS: CFM offers no warranty on

chipping of enamel surfaces. Inspect all products prior to accepting

them for any damage to the enamel. The salt air environment of

coastal areas or a high humidity environment can be corrosive to

the porcelain enamel finish. These conditions can cause rusting

of the cast iron beneath the porcelain enamel finish, which will

cause the finish to flake off. Color lot variations with parts and/or

accessories can occur and are not covered by warranty.

GLASS: Glass is not warranted for breakage due to misuse or accident.

Glass is not covered for discoloration or stains due to environmental

issues, or improper cleaning and maintenance.

PLATED PARTS AND ACCESSORIES: Brass, nickel, and gold parts

should be cleaned with Lemon oil only. Commercial cleaners cannot

be used. Mortar mix and masonry cleaners corrode the brass

finish. The CFM will not be responsible for, nor will it warrant any

brass parts which are damaged by external chemicals or down

draft conditions.

ACCESSORIES: Unless otherwise noted, CFM supplied accessories

are covered for a period of one year.
