!

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual for correct installation and operational procedures. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

H. Odor During Operation

Neither natural gas nor propane gas give off an odor when burned. The nature of a vent free combustion system, however, is such that odors may occasionally be produced during heater operation when impurities exist in the immediate area. Cleaning solutions, paint, solvents, cigarette smoke, candles, adhesives, new carpet or textiles, etc., all can create fumes. These fumes may mix with combustion air and can create odor. Such odors will disappear over time, however the condition can be alleviated by opening a window or otherwise providing additional ventilation to the area.

I. Vent Free Features

The Sundance 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 Sundance 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 supplied).

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.

J. Fresh Air Requirements

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 appliances 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 Sundance Vent Free Stove 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.

!

WARNING

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.

!

WARNING

If the area in which the heater may be operated does not meet the required volume for indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air shall be provided by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code or applicable local codes.

Maintenance

The following procedures will help ensure that your heater continues to perform safely and efficiently.

A. Cleaning Firebox & Inspection

Cleanliness is critical to correct operation of the heater.

The log set, burner, valve controls and air circulation areas must all be kept free of dust and unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas before each use and clean

whenever accumulation is evident. Follow the simple procedure outlined below.

Frequent cleaning may be necessary in living environments subject to excessive carpet lint or pet hair. For example, if you live with a dog that sheds continuously, you will need to inspect the burner area frequently and clean it as often as the accumulation requires.

In extreme conditions, it may be necessary to clean the burner and log set monthly or bi-weekly.

This appliance should be inspected and thoroughly cleaned annually by a qualified gas technician.

B. Cleaning Procedure

1. Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool completely before cleaning.

2. Lift the Front plate up and then swing the bottom out to disengage it from the heater shell.

3. Remove the screen by lifting up and away from the unit.

Or, if so equipped, remove the glass panel by rotating the two cams toward the front of the firebox. Lift the panel up and off of the firebox frame. (Figure 16)

4. Carefully inspect the log set for damage. Contact your local dealer if any damage is evident.

DO NOT OPERATE THE

HEATER WITH A DAMAGED OR LOOSE LOG SET.

Use a soft-bristled brush vacuum cleaner attachment to remove dust or debris from the log set, pilot and burner.

Use care as the log set is fragile.

5. Inspect the catalytic combustor at the top of the firebox.

Replace the combustor if any damage or deterioration is evident.

6. Replace the screen or glass panel and the front plate.

DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE SCREEN

/ GLASS PANEL OR FRONT PLATE REMOVED.

Glass Latch

Screen Hooks

Figure 16 - Remove the screen or glass panel.

C. Glass Replacement

If so equipped, do not operate this appliance with the glass panel cracked, broken, or removed. Replace damaged glass only with an approved ceramic glass panel. Follow the

Cleaning Procedure instructions regarding parts removal.

D. Care of Cast Iron

needed. Clean areas to be painted with a wire brush and be sure to cover the log set, burner and valve assembly. Apply the paint sparingly; two light coats of paint will give better results than a single heavy coat.

Porcelain enamel surfaces should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If necessary, use only a cleaning agent formulated specifically for use on porcelain enamel surfaces.

!

WARNING

Turn the burner Pilot OFF before applying paint. NEVER paint pilot or around pilot area.

!

WARNING

Dust and debris accumulation can result in poor performance. Inspect the Valve compartment, burner parts and log set frequently and Clean these parts monthly or as often as accumulation warrants.

WARRANTY COVERAGE:

HHT warrants to the original owner of the HHT appliance at the site of installation, and to any transferee taking ownership of the appliance at the site of installation within two years following the date of original purchase, that the HHT appliance will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. After installation, if covered components manufactured by HHT are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period,

HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. HHT, at its own discretion, may fully discharge all of its obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.

WARRANTY PERIOD:

Warranty coverage begins on the date of original purchase. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage begins on the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent, authorized HHT dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months following the date of product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for parts and labor for covered components is produced in the following table.

The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances.
