Stardance

Direct Vent Gas Heater

OPERATION

The Stardance is operated with the front plate in place

with the doors open or closed, and the safety barrier in

place. To open the front doors, pull forward to separate

the magnetic catch.

YOUR FIRST FIRE

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself

with the burner controls shown on Page 32 (SDDVT

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

assembly, Figure 55. 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 56. 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.
