Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater

20007065

General Information

The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater, Model

Nos. 3900-3916, 3940-3956 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 Appli-

ances For Use at High Altitudes.

The installation of the Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room

Heater must conform with local codes, or in the absence of lo-

cal codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54

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

TION: Do not derate this appliance for altitude. Maintain the

manifold pressure at 3.5” w.c. for Natural Gas and 10.0” w.c.

for LP gas at maximum input.) Refer to Page 32 (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 utilization

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 Stardance 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 Stardance 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 Stardance 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.

‘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.

This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manufac-

tured (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 Stardance Direct Vent/Natural 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 appli-

ance.

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

obstructed. The installation must include adequate acces-

sibility 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 de-

signed to burn either natural gas or propane only.

This gas appliance must not be connected to a chimney

flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when

servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and

dangerous operation.

Verify proper operation after servicing.

Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning or

oil fired appliances, and the products of combustion of such fu-

els, contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause

cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.

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 Fig-

ure 10.

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” (305mm)} through

which exhaust gas could reenter the building.

• All vegetation within 3’ ((76mm) 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

Direct Vent Only

• 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 installation

procedures.

Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater

20007065

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 vent-

ing components specifically approved and labelled

for this stove may be used.

• Minimum clearances between vent pipes and com-

bustible 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.

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” (25mm)

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. 30) 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.

7. Install the appropriate roof support and flashing,

making certain that the upper flange of the flashing

base is below the shingles. (Fig. 31)

Z31D00 FSDHAG Draft Hood Adapter.

The Stardance Heater is approved for installation as

a Natural Vent. CFM Direct Vent pipe 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

other. Follow the vent component maker’s instructions

exactly. The heater will also accept standard or enam-

elled 7” (178mm) diameter pipe, around the Type B

venting, for decorative purposes only. (Fig. 32)

NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied with the stove

is not used for Natural Vent applications.

The Stardance stove, when installed as a Natural vent

heater, includes a vent safety switch. (Page 36, Figure

66) 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 pos-

sible death.

For U.S. installations: The venting system must con-

form 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. 33)

Attach the first section of venting to the draft hood. De-

pending 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.

Install the Log Set

1. Remove the logs from their packaging, and inspect

each piece for damage. DO NOT INSTALL DAM-

AGED LOGS.

2. Install the rear log centering it side to side on the

sheet metal shelf at the back of the firebox. (Fig. 34)

The log will touch both sides and the back wall of the

firebox.

3. Install the right log by engaging hole on bottom with

pin on the rear log. (Fig. 34) Then set right bottom

side on the burner so the edge of the log touches the

right side of the firebox. The right log does not use

the locator pins on the burner to stay in place.

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 elec-

trode 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 thermo-

couple or thermopile. NOTE: This pilot burner as-

sembly uses both a thermocouple and a thermopile.

The thermocouple operates the pilot flame. Tighten

the thermocouple. The thermopile operates the main

valve (ON and OFF). Clean and/or adjust pilot for

maximum flame impingement on thermocouple and

thermopile.

Turn valve knob to ‘Pilot’. Maintain flow to pilot; mil-

livolt meter should read greater than 10mV. If the

reading is okay and the pilot does not stay on, re-

place 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

reading at thermopile (“TP” and “TP/TH”) terminals

of gas valve. Should read 325 millivolts minimum

while holding valve knob depressed in PILOT po-

sition 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

meter should read greater than 10 mV. If the read-

ing is okay and the burner does not light, replace the

valve.

Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame

impingement on thermocouple and thermopile.

Check the vent terminal for blockage.

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 Stardance 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. DO NOT OP-

ERATE THE HEATER WITH DAMAGED LOGS.

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. DO NOT USE

A VACUUM TO CLEAN THE LOGS OR BURNER.

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. AL-

LOW THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY BE-

FORE 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 36 for Replacement Parts. Refer to

Figure 63 and previous instructions for removal of the

damaged glass frame.

Fig. 64 Release the latches to release the glass frame.

Gasket Replacement

The Stardance 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. 63 & 64) 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. 65)

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.

ST179

glass gasket detail

ST179

Fig. 65 Wrap the gasket material around the outside iedge of

the glass.

Inspect the Vent System Annually

Have the vent system inspected annually by a qualified

technician. Shut off the main gas supply before inspect-

ing the system. Both the inner exhaust pipe and the out-

er 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 64.

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.

Fig. 66 Correct flame pattern.

Stove Disassembly

If there is ever a need to remove the firebox assem-

bly from the stove shell, support the firebox with solid

stands about 6” (152mm) tall under the left and right

outer edges of the firebox base. Do not set the firebox

assembly directly on the floor; this can damage the

control valve and/or the gas lines from the valve to the

firebox.

Before removing the firebox from the shell, disconnect

the on/off switch wires from the valve. If the assembly

includes the optional fan, disconnect the fan rheostat.

If the installation includes a wall thermostat, disconnect

the thermostat leads from valve.

Disconnection and reconnection to the gas line should

only be done by a qualified gas service technician.

Upon reinstallation, the vent system must be sealed to

the firebox as shown in the installation section, Page

14. Also be sure the logs are placed in the firebox cor-

rectly, as shown in Page 19, Figures 34 & 35.

tous défauts de fabrication et de matières premières pour une

période d’un an à compter de la date d’achat, sous réserve des

bustion de tout produit à gaz de la société Vermont Castings ou

Majestic sont garantis pour la vie contre la perforation des parois.

Tous les produits équipés d’un brûleur en céramique Insta-Flame

comprennent une garantie à vie limitée de la plaque du brûleur en

céramique. Les garanties sont accordées à l’acheteur d’origine,

le tout sujet à une preuve d’achat et aux conditions et limitations

suivantes :

GARANTIE DES COMPOSANTS

FONTE : Toutes les pièces en fonte externes et internes sont garanties

pour une période de trois ans.

Nota : Dans le cas des pièces et accessoires externes au fini en émail

de porcelaine, la Société n’offre aucune garantie quant à l’écaillage

des surfaces en émail. Avant d’accepter un produit, inspectez-le afin

de vous assurer que les surfaces en émail ne sont pas endomma-

gées.

L’atmosphère saline des zones côtières ou les environnements à

forte humidité peuvent provoquer la corrosion du fini en émail de

porcelaine. Ces conditions peuvent également faire rouiller la fonte

sous le fini en émail de porcelaine, provoquant ainsi l’écaillement de

la couche de fini.

Dans le cas des pièces et (ou) des accessoires de remplacement,

les variations de lots de teinture sont possibles, mais elles ne sont

pas couvertes par la garantie.

PORTES EN VERRE : Les portes en verre sont couvertes pour une

période d’un an. Les portes en verre ne sont pas garanties contre le

bris causé par un mauvais usage ou un accident. Les portes en verre

ne sont pas couvertes contre la décoloration ni contre les taches

imprégnées attribuables à des conditions environnementales ou à un

nettoyage et un entretien inadéquats.

PIÈCES ET ACCESSOIRES PLAQUÉS EN LAITON : Les pièces en

laiton ne doivent être nettoyées qu’avec de l’essence de citron. Les

nettoyants pour le laiton ne doivent pas être utilisés, et les agents net-

toyants pour le mortier et la maçonnerie peuvent provoquer la corrosion

du fini laiton. La Société ne pourra être tenue responsable des domma-

ges à toute pièce en laiton occasionnés par des conditions chimiques

externes ou le refoulement, et elle n’offre aucune garantie à cet égard.

SOUPAPES À GAZ : Les soupapes à gaz sont couvertes pour une

période d’un an.

COMPOSANTS ÉLECTRONIQUES ET MÉCANIQUES : Les compo-

sants électroniques et mécaniques du brûleur sont couverts pendant un

an. Tous les brûleurs en acier sont garantis pendant un an.

période d’un an.
