WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or

to this manual for correct installation and operational
procedures. For assistance or additional information
consult a qualied installer, service agency, or the gas
supplier.
H. Odor During Operation
Neither natural gas nor propane gas give off an odor when
burned. The nature of a vent free combustion system,
however, is such that odors may occasionally be produced
during heater operation when impurities exist in the immediate
area. Cleaning solutions, paint, solvents, cigarette smoke,
candles, adhesives, new carpet or textiles, etc., all can create
fumes. These fumes may mix with combustion air and can
create odor. Such odors will disappear over time, however the
condition can be alleviated by opening a window or otherwise
providing additional ventilation to the area.
Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s)
clean may result in sooting and property damage.

I. Vent Free Features
!
!
The Sundance Vent Free gas stove is an unvented gas heating
appliance tested and listed to the ANSI standard Z21.11.2,
Latest Edition. This appliance is specically congured to
burn either Natural Gas or Propane fuel, as indicated on the
metal rating plate attached to the rear shroud. The Sundance
is not fuel convertible.
The stove is shipped fully assembled and ready for installation.
The stove is equipped with an SIT control valve that allows
thermostatic control, on/off switch or a remote switch (not
supplied).
Both models incorporate variable regulators that allow you to
adjust burner heat output between HIGH, (28,000 Btu), and
LOW, (19,500 Btu). See the Operation Section for details.
The standing pilot incorporates an Oxygen Depletion System
(ODS/pilot) designed to shut off the appliance if enough fresh
air is not available.
J. Fresh Air Requirements
Fresh Air Requirements for Combustion and Ventilation:
Modern construction standards have resulted in homes that
are highly energy-efcient and that allow little heat loss.
Your home needs to breathe, however, and all fuel-burning
appliances within it require fresh air in order to function properly
and safely. Exhaust fans, clothes dryers, replaces, and other
fuel burning appliances all use the air inside the building. If
the available fresh air is insufcient to meet the demands of
these appliances, problems can result.
The Sundance Vent Free Stove has specific fresh air
requirements. You must determine that these fresh air
requirements will be met within the space where the
appliance will be installed. The following information will
help you insure that adequate fresh air is available for the
heater to function properly.
WARNING
If the area in which the heater may be operated does
not meet the required volume for indoor combustion air,
combustion and ventilation air shall be provided by one
of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code
or applicable local codes.
WARNING
This heater must have fresh air for proper operation. If
not, poor fuel combustion could result. Read the following
instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other
fuel-burning appliances in your home.
