Vermont Castings Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heaterr
General Information
The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater,
Model Nos. 3070, 3071, 3072 and 3073, is a vented gas
appliance listed to the ANSI standard Z21.88b-2001 and
CSA-2.33b-2001 for Vented Room Heaters, and CSA 2.17M91, 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 — 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 34 (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 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 Vent/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 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*
manufactured (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 Canadian Electrical Code C22.1.
Due to high temperatures this appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
WARNING: This appliance is hot while in operation.
Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact
may cause burns or ignition of combustible materials.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperatures and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young children should

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.

Cut the shipping straps and remove the Rear Skirt from
its carton. Remove any packing material from the top
of the firebox, Figure 12. Do not remove the firebox
from the shipping pallet yet.
Remove the Log Set
The Log Set is inside the firebox in a protective package. The Glass Panel must be removed to install the
Log Set in the firebox.
• Swing open the swiveling latches at the top left and
right corners of the glass frame. (Fig. 13)
• Pull the top edge of the glass and frame assembly
away from the firebox, and lift it off its supports on
the bottom of the firebox face. Place the assembly
out of the way on a flat, padded surface such as a
counter protected by a towel.
•Take the log set and all other loose parts (4” sleeve)
out of the firebox, and set them aside in a protected
spot, for installation after the venting is complete.
NOTE: Verify the two relief doors (located on top of
the firebox) are properly seated on the gasket. The
doors should sit flush on the gasket, and should lift
easily from the seal around the opening.

Shell Assembly
1. Attach the Rear Skirt to the Left End plate by aligning
the key holes with the two wingbolts in the side. If
necessary, turn the wingbolts to orient the blades
vertically. (Fig. 14) Slide the skirt downward to
engage it behind all three washers on the side plate
bolts and then tighten both wingbolts.
2. Attach the Right Side Plate to the Rear Skirt. (Fig.
15) Move this assembly close to the stove's final
position. Align the two side plates at right angles to
the Back Panel as in Figure 16.
NOTE: The firebox is shipped with three bolts and
spacers on the bottom to prevent any damage to the
bottom assembly. The two front bolts should be
removed after installation. Use a 7/16” wrench.
3. Lift the firebox assembly and slide it into the shell.
The base of the firebox should rest on the side
support shelves. (Fig. 16 & 17) The side plates
interlock with the firebox by use of a pair of steel tabs
that engage with the ribs on the base of the firebox.
(Fig. 17) Properly positioned, the firebox will be level
and locked in place. If not, adjust the levelling screw
in the foot of each leg as needed.
