Vermont Castings Radiance
Operation
Your First Fire
Read these instructions carefully and familiarize
yourself with the burner controls of this heater.
The Radiance uses a Honeywell control valve that
allows thermostatic regulation. A separate Piezo ignitor
generates a spark at the pilot orifice when the button is
pushed. Figures 26 - 30 illustrate the operating
positions for the RUVS40 controls.
Set the 3-way burner control switch on the back of
the appliance to the OFF position (midpoint). Locate
the Pilot assembly on the right side behind the burener.
(Fig. 31) Follow the lighting instructions on page 16
exactly. Use the regulator control to adjust heat output.
During the first fire, it is not unusual to smell some
odor associated with new logs, paint and metal being
heated. Odors should dissipate within a few hours or
so, however, you can open a window to provide plenty
of fresh air to alleviate this condition.
Pilot and Burner Inspection
Each time you light your Radiance, check that the pilot
flame and burner flame pattern appear as in Figures 31
and 33. If flame patterns are incorrect, turn the heater
off and use the procedures in the Troubleshooting
section of this manual to determing a solution. Do not
operate the heater until the pilot flame is correct.
Follow regular maintenance procedures as de-
scribed on page 17.
