Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of your
HearthStone Tucson gas-fired B-vent heater. The
Tucson incorporates the latest in energy efficient
gas technology which will provide you with clean,
efficient heat for years to come. The combination
of natural stones with cast iron gives the Tucson
a pleasing look which can be maintained with
minimum care.
If there are any questions regarding installation or
operation which are not answered within this
manual, contact your local dealer or your building
inspector.
Your Tucson is equipped with a standing pilot
which: 1) generates a millivolt signal that powers
the wall-mounted thermostat and 2) lights the
main burner when the thermostat calls for heat.
Your Tucson requires no external power source
for normal operation (unless equipped with the
optional blower fan kit ).
This unit is equipped with a variable output
control located on the gas control valve. It allows
you to vary the heat output, along with the flame
height, to suit personal needs. Heat output can be
reduced during the Fall and Spring (when the
need for heat is reduced) and increased during
Winter months (when the need for heat is the
greatest). Regardless of how you set the variable
output control, the on/off cycling of the unit is
always controlled by the wall-mounted
thermostat.
This unit can be equipped with an optional
variable speed blower fan . The speed control is
located on the front of the stove at the lower right
side behind the door. This allows you to turn the
fans on or off and control the speed of the fans to
suit your needs. Regardless of the speed at which
the fan is set, the fan will automatically come on
when the unit heats up and shuts off once the unit
has cooled down.
Your Tucson will provide you with years of
practical and convenient service. However, as
with any gas appliance, the unit must be properly
and safely installed and maintain by qualified
service personnel to ensure safe and trouble free-
operation.
