20012950
WARNING:
• Always maintain required clearances
(air spaces) to nearby combustibles to
prevent fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces
with insulation. All venting components must
maintain a 1” (25 mm) clearance to combus-
tible materials. Maintain a 6” (152 mm) clear-
ance when using single wall pipe. Maintain a
2” (51 mm) clearance on top and 1” (25 mm)
on sides and bottom when venting straight off
the rear.
• The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.
• Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions in-
cluded with the venting system for complete
installation procedures.
Installation Requirements
The installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - latest edition. (EXCEP-
TION: Do not derate this appliance for altitude. Main-
tain the manifold pressure at 3.5 inches w.c. for Natural
Gas, and 10 inches w.c. for Propane).
In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the
current CSA B-149.1 Installation Codes and/or local
codes.
The installation should be done by a qualified ser-
vice person who is familiar with the building codes
and installation techniques appropriate for your
area to accomplish a safe and effective installation.
Your dealer or your local gas supplier will be able to
refer a qualified service person.

The surface of the Heater Is hot when it is in use.
Young children should be watched carefully when

Locating the Stove
In choosing a location for the stove, consider:
• The location of outside walls;
• Where additional heat is needed:
• Where family members gather most often;
• The vent system requirements.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of wallpaper
next to this stove. Over time, radiant heat may cause
the wallpaper to shrink, or may adversely affect the
binders in the wallpaper adhesive.

Measure side clearances as shown in Figures 3, 4 and
5 from the outer edge of the cast iron stove top. Mea-
sure rear clearances from the outermost surface of the
steel rear skirt.
The Stardance heater is approved for installation into
an alcove constructed of combustible materials to the
dimensions and clearances shown on the next page.
The same clearances apply in a standard parallel instal-
