Radiance Direct Vent Gas Heater Maintenance Your Radiance Gas Heater will provide years of service with minimal upkeep. The following procedures will help ensure that your stove continues to function properly. Annual System Inspection Have the entire heater and venting system inspected annually by a qualified gas technician. Replace any worn or broken parts. Cleaning the Glass WARNING: Allow the glass to cool completely before attempting to clean.
Radiance Direct Vent Gas Heater ST179 Fig. 78 Wrap the gasket material around the outside edge of the glass. ST141 Fig. 77 Release the latches to remove the glass frame. Gasket Replacement ST141 The Radiance Gas Heater uses a ‘tadpole’ type gasket pull glass latch 10/99 and the frame. In time, to seal between the glass panel this gasket can become brittle and compressed and should be replaced. New gasket is available from your dealer. Shut off the gas supply and allow the stove to cool.
