INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Tucson Gas-Fired Direct-Vent heater. The Tucson, by HearthStone, incorporates the latest in balanced vent gas technology, which will provide you with clean, efficient heat for years to come. The combination of natural stones and cast iron gives the Tucson a pleasing look that can be maintained with minimum care.
The 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 maintained by qualified service personnel to ensure safe and trouble-free operation.
Your Tucson 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/T’stat 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/T’stat switch is set to “T’stat”, 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/T’stat switch by setting it to “ON” or “OFF”.
The Unit can also be equipped with an optional blower fan, Kit which turns on and off independently of the burner flames. When the 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 “High” or “Lo”, 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.

OWNERS INFORMATION
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absences of local codes, the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Code. (Installer l’appareil selon les codes ou
règlements locaux, ou, en l’absence de tels règlements, selon les Codes d’installation CAN/CGA-B149.)Do not use this appliance
if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and to replace any part of the control system and gas control that has been under water. (Ne
pas se servir de cet appareil s’il a été plongé dans l’eau, complètement ou en partie. Appeler un technicien qualifié pour inspector l’appareil et remplacer toute partie du système de contrôle et toute commande qui ont été plongés dans l’lau.)
DAILY OPERATION
The Tucson gas-fired heater is easily operated by the homeowner once installed and adjusted by qualified service personnel. The unit is controlled via the wall-mounted thermostat during the heating season. Set the thermostat to the desired room temperature and the unit will cycle on and off as required. By adjusting the variable output control located on the gas control valve, 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, the homeowner can select the optimum flame size for their setting and application.
During the summer non-heating season, switch the wall thermostat to “OFF”, and turn off the pilot. This will improve the
overall efficiency of the unit as the heat from the pilot is wasted. When putting the unit back into service, follow the lighting instructions described on page 31.
When the unit is first lit, especially when cool, it is normal to experience some condensation on the inside of the window glass. This condensation will burn off within the first few minutes of operation. If continuous condensation on the window glass or dripping water from any part of the unit or venting system (chimney) is noted, immediately discontinue operation of the unit and contact qualified service personnel.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
The Tucson requires minimal routine maintenance and care. The unit should always be cool and off when being cleaned.
CLEANING
WARNING: Do not clean the unit
when hot. The unit should receive
regular cleaning on, under, and around the stove to prevent the buildup of dust and lint. The exterior surfaces of the unit can be cleaned using soap, water, and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners and take care not to scratch the glass or enamel finish (if so equipped) when cleaning the unit. The use of chemical wax based cleaners or polishes are not recommended due to the potential for discoloration or the enamel when the residue of the cleaners or polishes is exposed to heat.

F IREBOX, PILOT, & BURNER TUBES
The firebox should receive periodic cleaning to prevent the accumulation of dust, lint, and other debris. To clean the firebox, set the thermostat to the “OFF” position, and turn off the gas at the gas control valve. When the unit is cool, unfasten the front door and carefully remove the decorative ceramic fiber log set, taking care not to damage the logs or chip the enamel cast iron. Clean the firebox burner tube and carefully vacuum the entire surface of the log set. Thoroughly vacuum the ports (holes) along the top of the burner tubes.
With the decorative ceramic fiber logs out of the firebox, fasten the door shut and momentarily light the unit according to the lighting instructions described on page 31. Check to insure a flame is burning from each burner port. The pilot flame should be large enough to engulf the sensor/thermocouple as shown in Figure 2. Turn the unit off by setting the thermostat to “OFF” and turning off the gas control valve. Allow the unit to cool. Check and clean any burner ports that are not burning or not burning properly. Clean burner ports using soft a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. If the pilot flame height needs adjustment, it should be adjusted by qualified service personnel as described on page 34.
Figure 2: Pilot Flame Pattern
Complete the cleaning procedure by carefully placing the log set within the firebox as described on page 28. Close and fasten the front door. Turn on the gas, light the unit and check for proper operation. Flame patterns should look like Figure 3. Regularly check to insure the area around the Tucson is kept free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Check that the flow of com bustion and ventilation air is not obstructed. Once a year the unit and venting system should be inspected by qualified service personnel to insure that they are clean, free of obstruction, safe, and in good working order. If service or maintenance is required, it should be performed by qualified service personnel.

the gasket ends meet before trimming any excess. Do not overlap the gasket ends or leave ends with ragged edges.
7. Firmly and evenly press the gasket to seat it in its channel.
CLASS CLEANING
If operating with propane, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the glass
Figure 3: Burner Flame Pattern
REPLACE THE F RONT DOOR GASKET AS NEEDED
Your Tucson uses a 3/8” rope-type fiberglass gasket to make a tight seal between the door frame and the firebox. In time, the gasket can become brittle and compressed and should be replaced. New gasket material is available from your Authorized HearthStone Dealer.
1. Allow the Tucson to cool completely. Remove the existing gasket by grasping one end and pulling firmly.
2. Use a wire brush or the tip of a screwdriver to clean the channel of remaining gasket.
3. Determine the correct length of the appropriate-sized gasket by laying it out in the channel. Allow an extra 1 to 2” (25-50mm), and mark the spot to be cut.
4. Cut the gasket at the marked spot with a utility knife. Twist the ends slightly to prevent the gasket from unraveling.
5. Apply water glass adhesive to the gasket channel.
6. Starting at one end, press the gasket into the channel. Insure a good joint where
occasionally. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not clean the glass when hot. Allow glass to cool and apply a window cleaning fluid.
WARNING: Do not operate this
appliance with the glass panel removed, cracked, or broken. Do not subject the door to abuse, such as striking or slamming shut. Replacement of the glass panel should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
UNPACK AND INSPECT FOR DAMAGE
The Tucson is packaged by the manufacturer to withstand shipment without damage. However, damage can occur during transit so take care to inspect for damage when unpacking and installing the unit. If any damage or missing parts are detected, immediately contact your dealer. Do not
install or put into service a damaged or incomplete heater.
Caution: The two top stones and grill are NOT cemented or otherwise permanently fastened in place! Carefully remove and set
aside the two stones and the grill. Use the protective wrapping material to temporarily protect the stones from chipping and damage while the unit is inspected and installed.
Inspect the Tucson for visible or concealed damage. The unit should appear to be square and true. The stones should be whole and without cracks, chips, or breakage. The sheet metal parts should be smooth and free of bends and dents. The enameled cast iron should be free of chips or cracks. If visible or concealed damage is found or suspected, contact your dealer for instructions.
With the top stones and grill removed and set aside, undo the lag bolts that fasten the unit to the pallet. Take care not to mar or chip the enameled legs. Lift the stove off the pallet and set it into place.
The decorative ceramic fiber logs supplied with the Tucson are contained within the firebox. Always use great care when handling the decorative ceramic fire logs as they are fragile and subject to damage and breakage if handled roughly. Open the firebox door using a 1/8” allen wrench screwdri ver and inspect the logs for damage. If a broken log is encountered, contact your
dealer for replacement logs. Otherwise, set the logs aside until called for during the installation.
HEARTH REQUIREMENT /FLOOR PROTECTION
