INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a
Champlain Gas-Fired Direct Vent heater.
The Champlain, by HearthStone Cast Iron
Stoves, incorporates the latest in balanced
vent gas technology, which will provide you
with clean, efficient heat for years to come.
The Champlain 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
maintained by qualified service personnel to
ensure safe and trouble-free operation.
Your Champlain is equipped with a standard
pilot which:
1. generates a milli-volt signal that
powers the wall-mounted thermostat
and;
2. lights the main burner when the
thermostat calls for heat.
This unit is equipped with an
On/Off/Thermostat switch and a variable
output control. The variable output control is
located on the gas control valve. It allows
you to vary the heat output, along with the
flame height to suit personal taste. Heat
output can be reduced {set to “LOW”}
during the Fall and Spring, when the need
for heat is reduced and increased {set to
“HIGH” during Winter months, when the
need for heat is the greatest.
A wall-mounted thermostat is provided by
HearthStone. Regardless of how you set the
variable output control, when the optional
thermostat has been installed and the
On/Off/Thermostat switch is set to
“Thermostat”, the wall-mounted thermostat
will control the on/off cycling of the unit. At
any time, you can override the thermostat
with the On/Off/Thermostat switch by
setting it to “ON” or “OFF”.
The Unit can also be equipped with an
optional blower fan, which turns on and off
independently of the burner flames. When
the speed switch, which allows you to turn
the fan on or off and control the speed of the
fan to suit your needs, is set to “On”, the fan
will automatically turn on when the stove is
hot and cycle off when the unit is no longer
hot.
Also available are two different optional
remote controls. Both of the remote controls
are capable of turning the unit on and off.
One of the optional remotes also allows you
to control the temperature of the stove from
anywhere in the vicinity of the unit. If “ON”
& “OFF” are the only controls required, Kit
# 90-56912 can be used. If you would like to
control the temperature via the remote
control, use Kit # 90-56914.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The gas control knobs and the piezo
ignitor are located behind the control valve
access door, under the front of the unit.
1. STOP! Read the What To Do If You
Smell Gas! Warning (on the cover of
this manual).
2. Set the on/off/T-stat switch or thermostat
to the “OFF” position.
3. Push in and turn gas control knob
clockwise to “OFF”. (If not previously lit, the knob should be in this position.)
4. Wait (5) five minutes to clear out any
gas. If you then smell gas, STOP! Smell
all around the appliance area for gas.
Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gases are heavier than air and will
settle on the floor. If you smell gas
immediately follow the What To Do If
You Smell Gas! warning on the cover of
this Manual. If you do not smell gas,
proceed to the next step.
5. Turn gas control knob counter-clockwise
to “PILOT”.
6. Push in control knob all the way and
hold in. Immediately light the pilot with
the gas lighter (push in and “click” the
piezoelectric spark ignitor button several
times until lit). Continue to hold the
control knob in for about 20 seconds
after the pilot is lit. Release the knob and
it will pop back out. Pilot should remain
lit. If the pilot goes out, repeat the
operation.
• If knob does not pop out when released,
stop, shut off the gas supply to the heater
and immediately call a qualified service
technician or gas supplier.
• If the pilot will not stay lit after several
tries, turn the gas control knob “OFF”
and call a qualified service technician or
gas supplier.
7. After the pilot lights, turn gas control
knob counter-clockwise to “ON”.
8. If the ON/OFF/THERMOSTAT switch
is set to “ON”, the stove should now be
lit. If the thermostat (or remote) has been
installed, set the ON/OFF
THERMOSTAT switch to
“THERMOSTAT” and turn the
thermostat (or remote) to “ON”. Then
set the desired temperature.
9. Shut the gas control valve access door.
NOTE: When pressing/clicking the
piezoelectric spark ignition button to light
the pilot, watch through the glass (front) of
the unit. Click the ignitor button until a
flame is visible at the pilot. Once the pilot is
lit, continue to press on the gas control knob
for another 20 seconds, then release.
Ascertain that the pilot is still lit by looking
through the front door. If lit, then turn the
gas control knob fully counter-clockwise to
HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products Inc Champlain Model #8300
9
the “ON” position. If the pilot fails to light,
or if it went out due to a premature release
of the gas control knob while pressed in the
“PILOT” position, wait 60 seconds for the
Interlock to release. Then repeat the lighting
process as described in this section of the
manual.
Once the pilot has been lit, the gas control
knob has been turned to the “ON” position,
and the ON/OFF/T-STAT switch has been
turned to “ON”, the main burners should
l ight immediately. If you would like to use
the thermostat and it has been installed,
switch the ON/OFF/T-STAT switch to
thermostat. Turn the thermostat to "ON" and
set it to a higher position so that it "calls" for
heat in order to turn light the main burners
(i.e. turns the unit on). Note that the
thermostat controls the on/off cycling of the
main burners, but the pilot remains lit
regardless of the thermostat setting. The
only way to turn the pilot off is to turn the
gas control knob fully clockwise to the
“OFF” position.
TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE
1. Set the thermostat to the “OFF”
position or turn the ON/OFF/TSTAT switch to the “OFF” position.
2. If shutting the unit off for the nonheating season, turn the gas control
knob fully clockwise to the “OFF”
position. Do not force the knob to
turn.
DAILY OPERATION
The Champlain gas-fired heater is easily
operated by the homeowner once installed
and adjusted by a qualified service
technician. Following is a list of the controls
available to the owner/user:
A. ON/OFF/PILOT………Built into Valve
B. VARIABLE OUTPUT
CONTROL……………Built into Valve
C. ON/OFF/THERMOSTAT
SWITCH…………………...…Standard
D. THERMOSTAT………………Standard
E. REMOTE CONTROL (w/o
thermostat)…………………....Optional
F. REMOTE CONTROL
(w/thermostat)…………….…..Optional
G. BLOWER……………………..Optional
A. ON/OFF/PILOT
The valve is equipped with two “control
knobs”. One is the ON/OFF/PILOT
knob, located on the front left side of the
valve. When in the “OFF” position, the
unit cannot operate at all. When in the
“PILOT” position, the pilot light can be
lit, but that is all. When in the “ON”
position, the unit may be on
continuously, or it may be “waiting” to
be controlled by the thermostat or
remote, depending on the setting of the
other controls.
B. VARIABLE OUTPUT CONTROL
The Variable Output Control knob,
located on the front right side of the
valve, controls the “rate” heat is
produced. By adjusting the variable
output control the rate of heat output can
be varied to meet the heating
requirements of the season. Choosing a
“LOW” flame setting will result in
longer burn cycles at a reduced output,
while choosing a “HIGH” flame setting
will result in a shorter, hotter burn cycle.
Through trial and error you can select
the optimum flame size for you setting
and application.
C. ON/OFF/T-STAT SWITCH
The ON/OFF/T-STAT switch controls
how the unit will operate, continuously
or by thermostat. When the switch is in
the “ON” position, the main burner
HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products Inc Champlain Model #8300
10
will stay on constantly, and the
thermostat will not operate. When the
switch is in the “T-STAT” position, it
will operate via the thermostat, running
only when the thermostat “calls” for
heat. When the switch is in the “OFF”
position, the pilot remains lit but the unit
can not operate, as the main burner can
not light.
D. THERMOSTAT
The unit may be controlled
automatically via the wall-mounted
thermostat. By setting the ON/OFF/TSTAT switch to “T-STAT”, and setting
the desired room temperature, the unit
will cycle on and off as needed to
maintain the requested temperature.
E. REMOTE CONTROL (w/o thermostat)
The unit may also be partially controlled
via the OPTIONAL remote control, Kit
#90-56912. When the ON/OFF/T-STAT
switch is in the “ON” position, it allows
you to turn the stove “On” & “Off” from
anywhere in the vicinity of the unit, and
is available through your local
HearthStone dealer.
F. REMOTE CONTROL (w/thermostat)
The unit may also be fully controlled via
the OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL
w/thermostat, available through your
local HearthStone dealer Kit #90-56914.
When the ON/OFF/THERMOSTAT
switch is in the “ON” position, this
Remote allows you to turn the unit “On”
& “Off” and also allows you to control
the temperature of the stove from
anywhere in the vicinity of the unit.
G. BLOWER
The unit may be equipped with an
OPTIONAL blower fan, available
through your local HearthStone dealer.
The fan helps to circulate heat away
from the stove.
Note: the ON/OFF/T-STAT switch or the
THERMOSTAT controls the on/off cycling
of the main burners, but the pilot remains lit
regardless of any of the control settings (BG) listed previously, except the
ON/OFF/PILOT control knob, which is the
only way to turn the pilot off. Turning the
gas control knob fully clockwise to the
"OFF" position will turn off the pilot.
During the summer, non-heating season,
switch the wall thermostat and rocker
switch es to “OFF”, and turn off the pilot.
This will improve the overall efficiency of
the unit, as the heat from the pilot is not
wanted in the summer. When putting the
unit back into service follow the “Lighting
of the Unit” portion in the “How To Turn
On & Off” section of this manual.
When the unit is first lit, especially when
cool, it is normal to experience some
condensation on the inside of the glass
window. This condensation will burn off
within the first few minutes of operation. If
continuous condensation or water drips are
noted from any part of the unit, immediately
discontinue operation of the unit and contact
a qualified service technician.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
The Champlain requires minimal routine
maintenance and care. The unit should
always be cool and off when being cleaned.
CLEANING
› WARNING: Do not clean the unit
