Vermont Castings Radiance
Assembly
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 immedi-
ately.
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, Glass/Catalyst, or thermostat, is most easily
accomplished before the gas supply connection is
made.
Tools required
• Stub-handled Phillips screwdriver • work gloves
• Standard Phillips screwdriver • knife
• Standard flat-blade screwdriver
• Tape measure
Unpacking the Radiance

Handle enamelled castings carefully to avoid
damage.
1. Cut the shipping straps.
2. Unpack the top grate and screen from the carton,
and set them aside.
3. With the help of an assistant, carefully remove the
stove from the pallet and move it close to its final
installed position. Lift the stove by the sides. Do not

Remove the Front panel, the Screen panel, the Log
