Venting Requirements and Options

The Stardance must be properly connected to a listed

4” (102 mm) Type B venting system or to an approved

Class A masonry or factory-built chimney system. In

Canada, a complete relining of Class A chimney sys-

tems is required.

The Stardance Natural Vent stove will accept decora-

tive 6” (152 mm) stove pipe around the Type B venting

system, for aesthetic purposes.

Complete Type B vent systems are available from a

number of manufacturers, and your dealer can usually

supply one. Pipe sections from different makers are not

interchangeable; do not mix pipe or vent sections from

different makers. Follow the vent system manufactur-

er’s instructions.

The vent system should conform to the speciﬁcations of

the National Fuel Gas Code, latest edition.

If connecting to a Class A chimney system, use 4” (102

mm) single wall or 4” Type B vent connector. Single wall

vent connector requires a minimum 6” (152 mm) clear-

ance to combustible surfaces.

Exterior chimneys may be subject to ﬂow reversal or

condensation. To lessen these conditions, enclose Type

B vents in an insulated chase, or reline exterior Class A

chimneys.

An approved pass-through device is always required,

whether the vent system passes through a wall or

a ceiling. Use a pass-through device from the same

maker who supplies the venting system.

Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or

siding.

Vent Layout and Height Requirements

Venting for a Stardance can rise vertically through the

home, or can pass through an exterior wall and rise

along the outside of the home. Some codes require that

a Type B vent system rising on the outside of the home

be enclosed in a chase. Check your local codes for

requirements.

The minimum vent system height for the Stardance

Natural Vent Stove is 8’ (2.43 m), (Fig. 7) measured

from the top of the stove. To determine the minimum

height the vent system must extend through or past the

roof, refer to the 1993 edition of the National Fuel Gas

Code.

Venting System Assembly

Adjust the leg levelers as needed. They should not

extend any further from the leg than necessary.

The venting collar is on the sheet metal draft hood/heat

exchanger assembly, over the ﬁrebox. Use a B-vent

adapter, from the same maker as the rest of the B-vent

components, to join the ﬁrst section of venting to the

draft hood.

The SNV30 stove includes a spill switch. Operating this

stove when not connected to a properly installed and

maintained venting system, or tampering with or discon-

necting the spill switch, can result in carbon monoxide

(CO) poisoning and possible death.

The stove includes a bracket for installing decorative 6”

(152mm) round stove pipe around the B-vent, for ap-

pearance purposes only. The decorative pipe need not

be concentric with the vent pipe.

If the installation includes decorative stove pipe around

the venting system, make a cardboard template of the

decorative pipe by tracing its circumference. Put this

template in the ﬂue recess in the stove top. Position the

template to ﬁt well against the front of the recess. (Fig.

14) Use this template to locate the bracket to hold the

decorative pipe. Depending on spacing, the bracket

may ﬁt inside the decorative pipe without interfering

with the vent system. Fasten the bracket to the draft

hood/heat exchanger assembly with a sheet metal

screw.

• 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 over-

tighten.

• Attach the control knob to the rheostat shaft.

• Use the wire tie to secure the fan and rheostat

wire harnesses together.

9. Plug the power cord into a standard grounded 110

volt household outlet. If the fan control knob is not

turned to the OFF position, the fan will turn on when

the temperature at the snapstat reaches approxi-

mately 109°F.

Insert the B-vent adapter into the ﬂue collar and drill

1/8” (3mm) pilot holes through both the stove’s collar

and the adapter. Attach the adapter to the ﬂue collar

with sheet metal screws. (Fig. 15)

Attach the ﬁrst section of venting to the B-vent adapter.

Depending on the length of the individual venting

sections and the lengths of the decorative pipe, you

may need to slip the decorative pipe over the venting

sections before attaching upper sections to lower ones.

The sections of decorative pipe should be oriented with

their seams (if any) toward the wall; sections usually

do not need to be fastened at each joint, other than slip

sections. The decorative pipe need not be fastened to

the locating bracket on the stove. If the layout includes

a slip section, this should be the last section of pipe vis-

ible in the room at the ceiling. Refer to Page 7, Figure 6

for details on joining the decorative pipe at the ceiling.

Paint Option for Enamelled Stoves

If you wish to match the decorative or vent pipe to the

color of the stove, paint the pipe before installation. Use

only a high-temperature paint. Paint only in a well-venti-

lated area. Mask the surroundings to prevent overspray.

Apply the paint lightly; two light coats will result in a

better ﬁnish than a single heavy coat. Let the paint dry

thoroughly before handling painted parts.

Connect the Gas Supply Line

Check the Rating Plate attached by a steel cable to the

ﬁrebox, to conﬁrm that you have the appropriate ﬁrebox

for the type of fuel to be used. The Stardance may be

converted from one gas to another using the appropri-

ate Fuel Conversion Kit listed on Page 24.

This appliance should only be connect-

ed by a qualiﬁed gas technician. Test to

conﬁrm manifold pressures as speciﬁed

below.

The Stardance Heater and its individual shutoff

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 Heater must be isolated from the

gas supply piping system by closing its indi-

vidual manual shutoff valve during any pressure

testing of the gas supply piping system at test

pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

There must be a gas shutoff between the stove

and the supply.

In order to connect Natural Gas, use a ﬁtting with

3/8” NPT nipple on the valve side and 1/2” natural

gas supply line with an input of 28,000 BTUs at

a manifold pressure of 3.5” and a minimum inlet

supply pressure of 5.5” w.c.

In order to connect Propane, use a ﬁtting with

3/8” NPT nipple on the valve side and 1/2” pro-

pane gas supply line with an input of 26,000

BTUs at a manifold pressure of 10.0” and a mini-

mum inlet supply pressure of 11.0” w.c.

In the U.S.; Gas connection should be made in ac-

cordance with current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223.1/NFPA 54. Since some municipalities have

additional local codes, be sure to consult you local

authority.

Operation

Your First Fire

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize

yourself with the burner controls shown in Figure 27.

Locate the pilot assembly, Figure 24. Follow the lighting

instructions on Page 14 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 an hour or so,

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

26. If ﬂame patterns are incorrect, turn the heater off.

Contact your dealer or a qualiﬁed gas technician for as-

sistance. Do not operate the heater until the pilot ﬂame

is correct.

Follow regular maintenance procedures as described

on Page 19.

Maintenance

Your Stardance Gas Heater will provide years of service

with minimal upkeep. The following procedures will help

ensure that your stove continues to function properly.

Annual System Inspection

Have the entire heater and venting system inspected

annually by a qualiﬁed gas technician. Replace any

worn or broken parts.

Logset and Burner /

Cleaning and Inspection

Cleanliness is critical to the proper function of the

heater. The logset and burner must all be kept free of

dust and unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas

before each use and clean as necessary.

1. Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool com

pletely before cleaning.

2. Lift the Stove Front up and then swing the bottom

out to disengage it from the heater shell. (Fig. 37)

3. Carefully remove the glass and frame assembly and

place it out of the way on a ﬂat, padded surface such

as a counter protected by a towel.

4. Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your

local dealer if any damage is evident. DO NOT OP-

ERATE THE HEATER WITH DAMAGED LOGS.

5. Use a soft bristled brush to sweep dust or debris

from the Logs, Pilot and Burner. Use care as the

logs are fragile and susceptible to damage.

6. Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.

7. Replace the Stove Front.

Care of Cast Iron

An occasional dusting with a dry rag will help keep the

painted surfaces looking new. Use high-temperature

stove paints, available through your local dealer, to

touch-up areas as needed. Clean areas to be painted

with a wire brush and be sure to cover the logs, burner

and valve assembly, glass and frame assembly. Apply

the paint sparingly; two light coats of paint will give bet-

ter results than a single heavy coat.

Clean porcelain enamel surfaces with a soft, damp

cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If neces-

sary, use only a cleaning agent formulated especially

for use on porcelain enamel surfaces.

CAUTION

TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING.

ALLOW THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY

BEFORE PAINTING.

Cleaning the Glass

WARNING: Let the glass cool completely before at-

tempting to clean.

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. Dur-

ing start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms on

the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other

airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. Also,

initial paint curing may deposit a slight ﬁlm on the glass.

It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned

two or three times with a non-ammonia household

cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas ﬁreplace

glass cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned

two or three times during each heating season depend-

ing on the circumstances present.

Clean glass after ﬁrst two weeks of opera

tion.

Glass Replacement

Replace glass only with CFM Corporation approved

parts. Refer to Page 22 for Replacement Parts. Refer to

Figure 38 and previous instructions for removal of the

damaged glass frame.

Gasket Replacement

The Stardance Gas Heater uses a ‘tadpole’ type gasket

to seal between the glass panel and the frame. In time,

this gasket can become brittle and compressed and

should be replaced. New gasket is available from your

dealer.

Shut off the gas supply and allow the stove to cool.

Wear safety goggles and a dust mask.

1. Remove the Front, Glass Frame and Glass Panel.

(Figs. 37, 38) Remove the old gasket. Use a razor

blade, with rounded corners, to separate the glass

and gasket from the frame, and to clean the glass of

any remaining cement or bits of gasket.

2. Determine the correct length of gasket by laying it

out around the edge of the glass. Allow an extra 1

- 2” (25-51mm). Mark the spot to be cut. Use a utility

knife.

3. Starting on a long edge, remove about 6” of the pro

tective paper strip and apply the ﬂat adhesive face

of the gasket around the outside-facing edge of the

panel. Continue around the panel, applying a bout 6”

at a time and being careful to not stretch the mate-

rial. Do not overlap the gasket ends. (Fig. 39)

4. Apply a thin bead of high temperature silicone

rubber sealant along the inside corner of the glass

frame, all around the perimeter. Place the ﬂat

gasketed side of the glass panel back into the steel

frame. Pinch the rounded inside-facing gasket mate-

rial to bulk it up.

5. Replace the glass frame and front panel as previ

ously described.

Inspect the Vent System Annually

Have the vent system inspected annually by a quali-

ﬁed technician. Shut off the main gas supply before

inspecting the system. Both the inner exhaust pipe and

the outer combustion supply pipe must be checked to

conﬁrm that they are unblocked and in good condition.

Check the Gas Flame Regularly

To ensure that the stove is operating properly, check

the ﬂames periodically to conﬁrm that they match

Figure 40. The ﬂames will be blue during the ﬁrst 15-20

minutes of operation, and will gradually turn to yellow

after that.

Do not use your stove if the ﬂame pattern differs from

that shown here. Contact your Vermont Castings dealer

or a qualiﬁed technician for help.

Stove Disassembly

If there is ever a need to remove the ﬁrebox assem-

bly from the stove shell, support the ﬁrebox with solid

stands about 6” (152mm) tall under the left and right

outer edges of the ﬁrebox base. Do not set the ﬁrebox

assembly directly on the ﬂoor; this can damage the

control valve and/or the gas lines from the valve to the

ﬁrebox.

Before removing the ﬁrebox from the shell, disconnect

the on/off switch wires from the valve. If the assembly

includes the optional fan, disconnect the fan rheostat.

If the installation includes a wall thermostat, disconnect

the thermostat leads from valve.

Disconnection and reconnection to the gas line should

only be done by a qualiﬁed gas service technician.

Upon reinstallation, the vent system must be sealed to
