2.17-M91, Gas-Fired Appliances For Use at High Altitudes.
The installation of the Stardance Direct Vent Room Heaters 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 (EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for
altitude. Maintain the manifold pressure at 3.5" w.c. for Natural
Gas and 10" w.c. for LP gas at maximum input.) Refer to Page
7 (RF only).
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 certified kit is used.
Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization
equipment or accessories, and repair and servicing of equip-
ment shall be performed only by a qualified agency, preferably
NFI or WETT (Canada) certified. The term "qualified agency"
means any individual, firm, 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 servic-
ing 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 Heaters should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service agency.
It is imperative that control compartments, burners, and cir-
culating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
The Stardance Direct Vent Room Heaters and the individual shut-
off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The Stardance Direct Vent Room Heaters must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system by closing the individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
An accessible tap is located above the pilot/on-off knob for check-
ing the inlet pressure.
'Direct Vent' describes a sealed combustion system in which in-
coming outside air for combustion and outgoing exhaust enter and
exit through two separate concentric passages within the same
sealed vent system. The system does not use room air to support
combustion. The Direct Vent system permits the gas appliance to
be vented directly to the outside atmosphere through the side of
the house or vertically through the roof.
This appliance is approved for bedroom installations in the U.S.
and Canada.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manufactured
(mobile) home, where not prohibited by state or local codes.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a
properly installed and maintained venting system can result
in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
