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
