Direct Vent Gas Heater

OPERATION

The Radiance is operated with the front plate in place with

the doors open or closed. To open the front doors, pull

forward to separate the magnetic catch. Ensure the safety

barrier screen is in place during operation.

YOUR FIRST FIRE

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself

with the burner controls shown on Page 32 (RADVT

models) or page 35 (RADVTSC models). Locate the pilot

assembly, Figure 56. Follow the lighting instructions in this

manual 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 the first eight to ten hours,

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 55. If

flame patterns are incorrect, turn the heater off. Contact

your dealer or a qualified gas technician for assistance.

Do not operate the heater until the pilot flame is correct.

Follow regular maintenance procedures as described in the

Cleaning and Maintenance section of this manual.
