Vermont Castings Radiance Vent-Free Gas Heater
20004555
Operation
The Radiance is shipped with the operable door front
plate. The stove may be operated with the doors either
open or closed. To open the front doors, insert the
handle provided into the door latch stub and turn it to
the right and up. (Fig. 28) When not in use, the handle
may be stored in the handle holder on the right side of
the rear shroud. (Fig. 29)
Your First Fire
Read these instructions carefully and familiarize
yourself with the burner controls shown on Page 17.
Locate the pilot assembly, Figure 30. Follow the
lighting instructions on Page 16 exactly.
During the first fire, it is not unusual to smell some odor
associated with new logs, paint and metal being
heated. Odors should dissipate within the first eight to
ten hours, however, you can open a window to provide
fresh air to alleviate the condition.
Pilot and Burner Inspection
Each time you light your heater check that the pilot
flame and burner flame patterns are as shown in Figure
32 and Figure 33. If flame patterns are incorrect, turn
the heater off. Contact your dealer or a qualified gas
technician for assistance. Do not operate the heater
until the pilot flame is correct.
Flame & Temperature Adjustment
For units equipped with HI/LO valves, the flame adjust-
ment is accomplished by rotating the HI/LO adjustment
knob located near the center of the gas valve. (Fig. 31)
