Hearth Requirements
The Stardance Heater must be installed on rigid floor-
ing. When the heater is installed directly on any com-
bustible surface other than wood flooring, a metal or
wood panel extending the full width and depth of the
unit must be used as the hearth. There are no other
hearth requirements.
WARNING:
• Always maintain required clearances
(air spaces) to nearby combustibles
to prevent fire hazard. Do not fill air
spaces with insulation. All venting compo
-
nents must maintain a 1” (25 mm) clearance to
combustible materials. Maintain a 6” (152 mm)
c learance when using single wall pipe.
• The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.
• Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions in
-
cluded with the venting system for complete
installation procedures.
