Stardance® Vent-Free Gas Heater

Vent Free Features

The Stardance Vent Free gas stove is an unvented gas heating
appliance tested and listed to the ANSI standard Z21.11.2,
Latest Edition. This appliance is specifically configured to
burn either Natural Gas or Propane fuel, as indicated on the
metal rating plate attached to the rear shroud. The Stardance
is not fuel convertible.
The stove is shipped fully assembled and ready for
installation.
The stove is equipped with an SIT control valve that allows
thermostatic control, on/off switch or a remote switch (not

Both models incorporate variable regulators that allow you to
adjust burner heat output between HIGH, (28,000 Btu), and
LOW, (19,500 Btu). See the Operation Section for details.
The standing pilot incorporates an Oxygen Depletion System
(ODS/pilot) designed to shut off the appliance if enough fresh
air is not available.
Fresh Air Requirements for Combustion and Ventilation
Modern construction standards have resulted in homes that
are highly energy-efficient and that allow little heat loss. Your
home needs to breathe, however, and all fuel-burning appli-
ances within it require fresh air in order to function properly
and safely. Exhaust fans, clothes dryers, fireplaces, and other
fuel burning appliances all use the air inside the building. If
the available fresh air is insufficient to meet the demands of
these appliances, problems can result.
The Stardance Unvented heater has specific fresh air
requirements. You must determine that these fresh air
requirements will be met within the space where the
appliance will be installed. The following information will
help you insure that adequate fresh air is available for the
heater to function properly.
!
This heater must have fresh air for proper operation. If
not, poor fuel combustion could result. Read the following
instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other
fuel-burning appliances in your home.
