Installation & Operating Instructions

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.)

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:

All gas fitting and installation of this heater shall only be done by a licensed gas fitter or licensed plumber.

A carbon monoxide detector must be installed in the same room as the fireplace. (Refer to Regulation 248CMR 4.00 & 5.00 for more information.)

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- mentshallbeperformedonlybyaqualifiedagency,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 appliance.

Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed 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.

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.

*Aftermarket: Completion of sale, nor for purpose of resale, from the manufacturer.
