SDDVTBSB, SDDVTBSSB, SDDVTBDSB, SDDVTBMSB, is

a vented gas appliance listed to the ANSI Standard Z21.88-

2019 and CSA 2.33-2019 for Vented Room Heaters, and

CSA 2.17-M91, Gas-Fired Appliances For Use at High Altitudes.

The installation of the Stardance Direct 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

inches w.c. for Natural Gas and 10 inches w.c. for LP gas at

maximum input.)

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 certied 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 qualied agency,

preferablyNFIorWETT(Canada)certied.Theterm“qualied

agency”meansanyindividual,rm,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RoomHeatershouldbeinspected

beforeuseandatleastannuallybyaqualiedserviceagency.

The same clearances apply in a standard parallel installation.

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 a󰀨ect the binders in the wallpaper

adhesive.

WARNING

Due to high temperatures, the heater should be located

out of tra󰀩c and away from furniture and draperies.

The surface of the Heater Is hot when it is in use. Young

children should be watched carefully when they are in the

same room when the Heater is in use, and they should

be taught to avoid the hot surface. Keep any objects that

can burn well away from the Heater, and observe the

recommended clearances that follow.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service

or maintenance can cause injury or property damage.

Figure 2.6 - Dimensions and clearances to ceiling or alcove.

The Stardance Heater can be installed on any type of rigid

ooring (e.g. hardwood, ceramic tile, brick, etc). When the

heater is installed on a carpeted surface, a metal or wooden

panel extending the full width and depth of the unit must be

used as the hearth. The purpose of the hearth is to prevent

the unit from sinking into the carpet surface and reducing

the required clearance to the underside of the unit. There

are no other hearth requirements.

E.ClearancestoCombustibles

CAUTION

Hearth and Home Technologies does not recommend adhesive

based vinyl ooring due to thermal expansion. Floating-style

ooring (LVP - luxury vinyl plank or LVT – luxury vinyl tile) can be

used, but it will reach temperatures up to 110 °F in a room with

ambient temperature of 70 °F. Consult ooring specications to

ensure compatibility.

HHT recommends gas stoves have 6 inches of alternative

ooring in front of the stove before using LVP/LVT regardless

if they sit ush on the oor or are elevated on a raised hearth.

For all other ooring, continue to follow clearance to combustible

requirements in the installation manual.

NOTICE: Clearances that do not meet the minimum guidelines

could result in damage or buckling to the vinyl ooring and is

done at the installer’s or homeowner’s risk.

Vertical Termination

A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 8’ (2.44 m)

and no more than 40’ (12 m) above the appliance ue collar.

A restrictor plate (supplied) must be used, where specied,

in all vertically terminated vent systems. (Refer to Figure

2.8) NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied with the vertical

termination should be discarded. Adjust the restrictor plate

according to recommendations in Figure 2.10. A vertically

terminated vent system must also conform to the following

criteria:

• No more than three 90° elbows may be used.

• Two 45° elbows may be substituted for one 90° elbow.

No more than six 45° elbows may be used.

• Vent must rise a minimum of 2 feet (305 mm) before

o󰀨set is used.

• Termination height must conform to roof clearance as

specied in Figure 2.11.

Restrictor Plate Adjustment for Extended Pipe Runs

Adjustments can be made by loosening the adjustment screw

to allow the restrictor plate to slide up or down, Figure 2.9. A

guide for usage is shown in Figure 2.10.

NOTE: Some installations may require some adjustment by

the installer for optimum ame appearance. Optimum ame

appearance is a ame that is not subject to tall, dirty yellow

ames producing soot or ames lifting o󰀨 of the ember bed

ports.

Restrictor Plate Adjustment

• Adjust plate (Figure 2.9) to location according to

guidelines in Figure 2.10.

• Tighten attachment screw.

• Install logs following log installation instructions.

Your stove is approved to be vented either through the side

wall, or vertical through the roof.

• HHT does not require any opening for inspection of vent

pipe.

• Only HHT SLP venting components or DuraVent venting

components specically approved and labeled for this

stove may be used.

• Maintain minimum clearances between vent pipes and

combustible materials.

• Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or

siding.

• Any horizontal run must have a 1/4” rise for every one (1)

foot of run towards the vent termination. Never run the

vent level or down.

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 in this manual.

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 2.11.

Important:All vent clearances must be maintained.

Check your vent termination clearances against Figures

2.11 and 2.12.

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" (305 mm)} through

which exhaust gas could reenter the building.

• All vegetation within 3’ (76 mm) that may interfere with

the draft.

Other factors that inuence 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

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 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.

CAUTION

All HHT Direct Vent Stoves have been tested and

approved to ANSI/CSA Standards and will operate safely

when installed in accordance with this instruction manual.

Read all instructions before starting installation, then follow

these instructions carefully to maximize stove performance

and safety. Report damaged parts to your dealer.

Important Safety Information

The termination cap MUST be vented directly to the outside.

The termination kit MUST NEVER be connected to a chimney

ue(s) servicing a separate solid-fuel burning appliance or

any other appliances.

• Termination cap MUST NOT be recessed into a wall,

Figure 3.1.

• The installation must conform with local codes or in the

absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or with the current

installation code CSA B149 (in Canada).

WARNING

Always maintain minimum clearances around vent

systems. Rear/Top Vent Vertical Side wall: Horizontal

sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3” (76

mm) clearances to combustibles at the top of the ue and

1” (25 mm) clearance at the sides and bottom until the ue

penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1” clearance all

around the ue is acceptable at this point of penetration. If

vertical rise is 71⁄2 feet (2.3 m) or higher when top venting,

the clearance to combustibles is 1” on all sides of the

horizontal run. FOR VERTICAL RUNS ONLY, maintain a

1” (25 mm) minimum clearance to all sides. Do not pack

the open air spaces around the stove or ue with insulation

or other materials. Any horizontal run must have a 1/4” rise

for every one (1) foot of run towards the vent termination.

Never run the vent level or down.

WARNING

Failure to follow these instructions may create a possible

re hazard and will void the warranty.

WARNING

Any common venting of this gas appliance with other gas

appliances is not allowed.

IFT-ECM Detailed Operating Instruction

This model is shipped from the factory equipped with the

IFT-RC400 remote.

1. The Electronic Control Module (IFT-ECM) has a three-

position ON/OFF/REMOTE selector switch that must

be set for proper operation, Figure 4.5. When changing

switch positions, it is important to pause in each position

for 1-2 seconds.

OFF Position:

The appliance will not respond to any commands from

a wired wall switch or IFT-RC400 remote controls. The

unit should be in the OFF position during service, fuel

conversion, and to reset the IFT-ECM in the event the

system goes into a LOCK-OUT mode as the result of a

system error. When switched to the OFF position while

the appliance is operating, the system will shut down.

ON Position:

The appliance will ignite and run continuously at the HI

ame setting. No adjustment in ame height is possible.

Remote Position:

The remote position allows operation of the appliance

from a wired wall switch or IFT-RC400 remote controls.

The IFT-ECM switch must be in this position to pair the

IFT-ECM with the IFT-ACM (if installed), and/or IFT-

RC400 remote controls. See the IFT-RC400 installation

manual for detailed instructions on pairing the IFT-ECM

with the remote controls.

After successfully pairing a IFT-RC400, all installed

accessories can be controlled by the IFT-RC400 (see

IFT-RC400 user manual). The IFT-ECM has a safety

feature that will automatically shut down the replace

after 9 hours of continuous operation without receiving a

command from the IFT-RC400.

The IFT-ECM has a safety feature that will

automaticallyshutdownthereplace after9hours

and susceptible to damage.

6. Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.

7. Replace the stove front and safety barrier.

C. 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 better results than a single heavy coat.

Clean porcelain enamel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If necessary, use only

a cleaning agent formulated especially for use on porcelain

enamel surfaces.

D. Glass Cleaning and Replacement

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During

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 lm 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

stove glass cleaner). Allow the glass to cool completely before

attempting to clean. To access the glass, remove the front and

glass frame, Figures 5.1 and 5.2. After that the glass should

be cleaned two or three times during each heating season

depending on the circumstances present.

NOTE:Cleanglassafterrsttwoweeksofoperation.

Glass Replacement

Replace glass only with HHT approved parts. Refer to Section

7 “Service Parts List” for correct glass. Remove the front,

glass frame and glass panel, Figures 5.1 & 5.2. Use a razor

blade to separate the glass and gasket from the frame.

CAUTION

Turn the pilot o󰀨 before painting. Allow the heater to cool

completely before painting.

E. Gasket Replacement

The Radiance 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 o󰀨 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, Figures

5.1 & 5.2. To remove the old gasket, use a razor blade

to separate the glass and gasket from the frame, and

to clean the glass of any remaining cement or bits of

gasket. Use a cold chisel if necessary.

2. Determine the correct length of gasket by laying it out

around the edge of the glass. Allow an extra 1 - 2” (25-

50mm). Mark the spot to be cut. Use a utility knife.

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

protective paper strip and apply the at adhesive face

of the gasket around the outside-facing edge of the

panel. Continue around the panel, applying about 6” at

a time and being careful to not stretch the material. Do

not overlap the gasket ends, Figure 5.3.

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 at gasketed side of

the glass panel back into the steel frame. Pinch the

rounded inside-facing gasket material to bulk it up.

5. Replace the glass frame and front panel as previously

described.

F. Inspect the Vent System Annually

Have the vent system inspected annually by a qualied

technician. Shut o󰀨 the main gas supply before inspecting

the system. Both the inner exhaust pipe and the outer

combustion supply pipe must be checked to conrm that

they are unblocked and in good condition.

G. Check the Gas Flame Regularly

To ensure that the stove is operating properly, check the

ames periodically to conrm they match Figure 5.4. The

ames will be blue during the rst 15-20 minutes of operation,

and will gradually turn to yellow after that.

Do not use your stove if the ame pattern di󰀨ers from that

shown here. Contact your Vermont Castings dealer or a

qualied technician for help.
