Radiance Vent-Free Gas Heater
®
Read these instructions thoroughly before starting the
assembly. Follow procedures in the order given. Inspect
the stove for damage before starting the assembly. Do
not install this stove if any damage is evident. Contact
your dealer immediately.
The Radiance is shipped on its back, mounted to a wooden
pallet. It is fully assembled, although packing materials
must be removed from the firebox and the Log Set installed.
Connection to the gas supply must be performed only by a
qualified gas technician who should also verify that adequate
ventilation is available to support proper burner function.
Installation of optional accessories, such as the fan or
thermostat, is most easily accomplished before the gas supply
connection is made.
