20007065
General Information
The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater, Model
Nos. 3900-3916, 3940-3956 is a vented gas appliance listed
to the
ANSI standard Z21.88b-2002 and CSA-2.33b-2002 for
Vented Room Heaters, and CSA 2.17-M91, Gas-Fired Appliances For Use at High
Altitudes.
The installation of the Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room
Heater must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
— latest edition and CSA B-149.1 Installation Code. (EXCEPTION: 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 qualifi
ed 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 connection, 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 V
ent/Natural Vent Room Heater
should be inspected before use and at least annually by a
qualified service agency. It is imperative that control compartments, burners, and circulating air passageways of the

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 V
ent’ 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 V
ent) take air from the
room for combustion and vent the exhaust vertically through the
roof to the atmosphere.

Vent Termination Clearances
When planning the installation, consider the location
of the vent terminal and clearances. Some of the most
common clearances to keep in mind are shown in Figure 10.
Important:
All vent clearances must be maintained.
Check your vent termination clearances against
Figures 9 through 11.
The vent should be placed so that people cannot be
burned by accidentally touching the vent surfaces when
the stove is operating.
The vent termination should be located where it cannot
be damaged by such things as automobile doors, lawn
mowers or snowblowers and it should be located away
from areas where it could become blocked by snow
,
etc.
Some considerations are:
•
Obstructions or impediments to venting.
• Nearby combustible materials that could come into
contact with combustion exhaust gases.
• Other nearby openings {within 12” (305mm)} through
which exhaust gas could reenter the building.
•
All vegetation within 3’ ((76mm) that may interfere
with the draft.
Other factors that influence where the installation will
be sited include the location of outside walls, where
additional heat may be desired in the home, where the
family members gather most regularly
, and perhaps
most importantly, the distance limitations of the venting
system.
IMPORTANT
Direct Vent Only
• The horizontal termination must not be recessed
into the exterior wall or siding.
•
Horizontal vent runs must be level toward the vent
termination.
• Clearances around the vent termination must be
maintained.
•
For installations using Simpson DuraVent pipe,
parallel installations with minimum wall clearance
have restricted access for connecting the Horizontal Vent Cap straps to the vent pipe. See the
maker’s instructions for recommended installation
procedures.

Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
20007065
Vent Termination Clearances
Your stove is approved to be vented either through the
side wall, or vertical through the roof.
• CFM Corporation does not require any opening for
inspection of vent pipe.
• Only CFM Corporation and Simpson DuraVent venting components specifically approved and labelled
for this stove may be used.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipes and combustible materials is one (1”) inch (25 mm), except
where stated otherwise.
• Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or
siding.
• Horizontal venting must be installed on a level plane
without an inclining or declining slope.
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes,
garden sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within
24” from the front of the termination hood.
Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow
or ice build up may occur
. Be sure to check vent termination area after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow
blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent
termination area.
Location of Vent Termination
It is imperative the vent termination be located observing the minimum clearances as shown on this page.

Install the Optional Fan
If you are installing the optional convection Fan Kit
#2767 (FK26), continue here. If you are not installing a
Fan Kit, go to Page 14, Venting System Assembly.
1. The fan kit includes a Blower Assembly and a Rheostat Assembly, connected by a cable. (Fig. 12) The
Blower Assembly mounts to the bottom rear of the
stove, and the Rheostat mounts to the valve bracket
to the left of the valve. The assembly includes a
‘snapstat’ which automatically turns the fan On (or
Off) above (or below) approximately 109˚. The Rheostat also provides a range of fan speed settings from
Off (which overrides the snapstat function) to High.
Unpack and inspect the Blower assembly. Confirm
the fan spins freely.
WARNING
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounded) plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or
remove the grounding prong from this plug.
4. The rheostat control switch attaches to the left side
of the valve bracket at the front of the stove. (Fig. 15)
• Remove retaining nut from shaft of rheostat. (if
preinstalled)
• Insert the rheostat through the hole in the back
of the left side of the valve bracket, aligning the
locator pin with the smaller hole in that bracket.
• Thread the retaining nut onto the shaft of the
rheostat, tightening with a wrench. Do not overtighten.
• Attach the control knob to the rheostat shaft.
• Use the wire tie to secure the fan and rheostat
wire harnesses together.
