the log set. The log set is assembled during installation.
The stove is equipped with an SIT control valve that allows
thermostatic control, on/off switch or a remote switch (not
supplied).
The stove model incorporates variable regulators that allow
you to adjust burner heat output between HIGH, (35,000 Btu),
and LOW, (26,000 Btu). See the Operation Section for details.
A push button Piezo ignitor is used to light the standing pilot.
The pilot incorporates an Oxygen Depletion System (ODS/
pilot) which will shut off gas flow to the burner in the event
that sufficient fresh air becomes unavailable for continued
safe operation.
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 Radiance Unvented heater 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.

 Hearth & Home Technologies
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Hearth & Home Technologies, on behalf of its hearth brands (“HHT”), extends the following warranty for HHT gas, wood, pellet and
electric hearth appliances that are purchased from an HHT authorized dealer.
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 for consumers begins at the date of installation. 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. However, 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 and pellet appliances. These time periods reflect the minimum
expected useful lives of the designated components under normal operating conditions.

• Limited Catalyst Warranty
o For wood burning products containing a catalyst, the catalyst will be warranted for a six-year period as follows: if the original
catalyst or a replacement catalyst proves defective or ceases to maintain 70% of its particulate emission reduction activity (as
measured by an approved testing procedure) within 36 months from the purchase date, the catalyst will be replaced for free.
o From 37 to 72 months a pro-rated credit will be allowed against a replacement catalyst and labor credit necessary to install
the replacement catalyst. The proration rate is as follows:

o Any replacement catalyst will be warranted under the terms of the catalyst warranty for the remaining term of the original
warranty. The purchaser must provide the name, address, and telephone number of the location where the product is
installed, proof of original purchase date, date of failure, and any relevant information regarding the failure of the catalyst.
WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS:
This warranty does not cover the following:
• Changes in surface finishes as a result of normal use. As a heating appliance, some changes in color of interior and exterior surface
finishes may occur. This is not a flaw and is not covered under warranty.

the operation instructions; (7) installation or use of components not supplied with the appliance or any other components not
expressly authorized and approved by HHT; (8) modification of the appliance not expressly authorized and approved by HHT in
writing; and/or (9) interruptions or fluctuations of electrical power supply to the appliance.
• Non-HHT venting components, hearth connections or other accessories used in conjunction with the appliance.

contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as specified above. In no event will HHT be liable for
any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in the appliance. Some states do not allow exclusions or limitation of
