The surface of the Heater Is hot when it is in use. Young children should be watched carefully when they are in the same room when the Heater is in use, and they should be taught to avoid the hot surface. Keep any objects that can burn well away from the Heater, and observe the recommended clearances that follow.

Locating The Stove

In choosing a location for the stove, consider:

The location of outside walls;

Where additional heat is needed:

Clearance Requirements

Minimum Clearances to Combustible Materials

Measure side clearances as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5 from the outer edge of the cast iron stove top. Mea- sure rear clearances from the outermost surface of the steel rear skirt.

The Radiance heater is approved for installation into an alcove constructed of combustible materials to the dimensions and clearances shown on the next page.

The same clearances apply in a standard parallel instal- lation.

WARNING:

• Always maintain required clearances (air spaces) to nearby combustibles

to prevent fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation. All venting components must maintain a 1” (25mm) clearance to com- bustible materials. Maintain a 6” (150mm) clear- ance when using single wall pipe.

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.

Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions includ- ed with the venting system for complete instal- lation procedures.

Vermont Castings is renowned for its exceptional wood stoves and fireplaces, and the RDVOD series stands as a testament to their commitment to craftsmanship, efficiency, and innovative technology. The RDVOD 3399, RDVOD 3350, RDVOD 3360, RDVOD 3390, and RDVOD 3369 models embody a blend of traditional aesthetics and modern functionality, making them standout choices for homeowners seeking warmth and style.

One of the main features of the RDVOD series is its high-efficiency rating. These models utilize Vermont Castings' advanced combustion technology, which optimizes fuel usage, resulting in more heat output from less wood. This not only reduces overall wood consumption but also minimizes emissions, making these stoves environmentally friendly options for heating.

The RDVOD stoves are designed with robust cast iron construction, ensuring durability and longevity. The cast iron provides excellent heat retention and leads to a more consistent warmth in the home. Additionally, the stylish design of these models allows them to seamlessly integrate into various home decors, from rustic to contemporary.

Key technologies incorporated into these stoves include the patented "Biltmore" technology, which enhances the efficiency of the burning process. This technology ensures that the fire burns hotter and cleaner, providing more heat while reducing the pollutants released into the atmosphere. The adjustable air controls allow users to easily manage the flame and heat output, ensuring personalized comfort.

The RDVOD 3399, RDVOD 3350, RDVOD 3360, RDVOD 3390, and RDVOD 3369 also feature large glass doors that showcase the fire, adding visual appeal to any living space. The seamless integration of the glass doors with the cast iron design contributes to the overall aesthetic while allowing for easy monitoring of the fire.

Safety is another priority in the design of the RDVOD stoves. They come equipped with features like a removable ash pan, which simplifies cleanup and maintenance, and the air-wash system, which keeps the glass clean, providing an unobstructed view of the flames.

In summary, the Vermont Castings RDVOD series – including models 3399, 3350, 3360, 3390, and 3369 – exemplifies high efficiency, exquisite craftsmanship, and thoughtful technology. With their combination of aesthetic appeal and functional performance, they offer an optimal heating solution for today’s homeowners seeking comfort and elegance in their living spaces.
