General Information
Vent Free Features
The Radiance RUVS40 is an unvented gas heating appliance tested and listed to the ANSI standard Z21.11.2a 1997. This appliance is specifically configured to burn either Natural Gas or Propane fuel, as indicated on the metal rating plate attached to the rear shroud. The Radiance RUVS40 is not fuel convertible.
The Radiance burner controls are conveniently located and easy to operate. As illustrated in Figure 1, the front lip of the heater swings down to reveal the gas valve controls and piezo pilot ignitor. Once the standing pilot is lit, the heater can be set for either manual or thermostatic operation using the convenient toggle switch (Fig. 3) at the rear of the unit. A variable regula- tor allows you to adjust burner heat output between HIGH, (35,000 BTU), and LOW, (26,000 BTU). See the Operation section for details.
A push button Piezo ignitor is used to light the standing pilot. The pilot incorporates an Oxygen Depletion System (ODS/pilot) which will shut off gas flow to the burner in the event that sufficient fresh air becomes unavailable for continued safe operation.
Quick Installation
Your Radiance Vent Free heater is shipped completely assembled and ready for installation. You must, however, locate the heater in accordance with the specifications detailed in the next section of this manual. Connection to the gas supply must be made only by a qualified gas technician and only after verification that the minimum combustion air and ventilation requirements have been met.
Optional Fan Kit #2767 /FK26
This accessory will help distribute heated air from within the firebox out into the room. The fan is con- trolled by a snapstat that turns power on and off as the firebox temperature rises above and falls below a preset temperature. A rheostat provides for variable fan speeds up to 160 cfm.
Optional
Glass / Catalyst Kit RGDCFK
The glass panel replaces the standard screen. The catalytic combustor installs easily into the upper manifold above the firebox. Ask your dealer for details.
