General Information
The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater, Model
Nos. SDDVTCB, SDDVTEB, SDDVTMB, SDDVTBS, SDDVTCH,
SDDVTVG, SDDVTBD, SDDVTCCB, SDDVTCEB, SDDVTC-
MB, SDDVTCBS, SDDVTCCH, SDDVTCVG, SDDVTCCBD, is
a vented gas appliance listed to the ANSI standard Z21.88-2005
and CSA-2.33-2005 for Vented Room Heaters, and CSA 2.17-
M91, Gas-Fired Appliances For Use at High Altitudes.
The installation of the Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room
Heater must conform with local codes, or in the absence of lo-
cal codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
— latest edition and CSA B-149.1 Installation Code. (EXCEP-
TION: Do not derate this appliance for altitude. Maintain the
manifold pressure at 3.5” w.c. for Natural Gas and 10.0” w.c. for
LP gas at maximum input.)
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
equipment shall be performed only by a qualified agency,
preferably NFI or WETT (Canada) certified. The term “quali-
fied 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 re-
placement of gas piping, or (b), the connection, installation,
repair, or servicing 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/Natural Vent Room Heater should
be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified
service agency. It is imperative that control compartments,
burners, and circulating air passageways of the appliance
be kept clean.
The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater and its
individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas sup-
ply piping during any pressure testing of that system at test pres-
sures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its indi-
vidual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig.
‘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 ap-
pliance to be vented directly to the outside atmosphere through
the side of the house or vertically through the roof. Conventional
venting systems (Natural Vent) take air from the room for com-
bustion and vent the exhaust vertically through the roof to the
atmosphere.
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.
The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater, when in-
stalled, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electri-
cal Code ANSI/NFPA 70, (latest edition), or of the current Cana-
dian Electrical Code C22.1.
Due to high temperatures this appliance should be located
out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
WARNING: This appliance is hot while in operation. Keep
children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause
burns or ignition of combustible materials.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high
surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid burns
or clothing ignition. Young children should be carefully su-
pervised when they are in the same room as the appliance.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed
on or near the appliance.
Any safety screen, glass or guard removed for servicing
an appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appli-
ance.
The appliance area must be kept clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be ob-
structed. The installation must include adequate accessibil-
ity and clearance for servicing and proper operation.
WARNING: Do not operate the Room Heater with the glass
panel removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the pan-
el should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
Do not burn wood, trash or any other material for which this
appliance was not designed. This appliance is designed to
burn either natural gas or propane only.
This gas appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue
serving a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when ser-
vicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan-
gerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
* Aftermarket: Completion of sale, nor for purpose of resale, from the
manufacturer.
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning or
oil fired appliances, and the products of combustion of such
fuels, contain chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
