Radiance Vent-Free Gas Heater
20004555
Read these instructions thoroughly before starting
the assembly. Follow procedures in the order given.
Inspect the stove for damage before starting the
assembly. Do not install this stove if any damage is
evident. Contact your dealer immediately.
The Radiance is shipped on its back, mounted to a
wooden pallet. It is fully assembled, although packing
materials must be removed from the firebox and the
Log Set installed. Connection to the gas supply must
be performed only by a qualified gas technician who
should also verify that adequate ventilation is available
to support proper burner function.
Installation of optional accessories, such as the Fan,
Glass/Catalyst, or thermostat, is most easily accom-
plished before the gas supply connection is made.
