Stardance Direct Vent - Rear Vent Gas Heaters

Installation

Unpack the Stove

The stove is shipped fully assembled on its back. Un- pack the stove and carefully set it upright.

CAUTION

Porcelain enamelled surfaces are fragile. Handle porcelain enamelled castings tenderly. Familiarize yourself with the assembly steps before you begin and proceed with deliberation and care. If possible, have assistance available.

Place enamelled castings on a soft, cushioned sur- face until you are ready to assemble.

Avoid contact between the castings and other hard surfaces or objects.

NOTE: Verify the two relief doors (located on top of the firebox) are properly seated on the gasket. The doors sit flush on the gasket, and should lift easily from the seal around the opening.

If you are not installing a fan, proceed to the ap- propriate vent assembly section.
