Introduction
Congratulations! You have just invested in a most
unique wood burning stove – the Tribute Wood
Burning Stove from Hearthstone Quality Home
Heating Products Inc®. The Tribute Model –8040 is
a clean burning EPA certified, non-catalytic wood
burning stove. At 1.1 cubic feet capacity and 2.97
grams per hour particulate emissions you can be
proud to join the Hearthstone family with our Premier
Soapstone Wood-Burning Stove. The front door,
along with the generous depth allow for loading of
wood up to 16 inches long!
Your purchase insures years of clean, comfortable
heat with minimal maintenance. You will receive the
benefits of the most advanced technology in wood
burning without the cost and maintenance
requirements of a catalytic stove. The Tribute
blends modern technology with the unique beauty
and heating qualities of soapstone, long known for
its even heat production and long heat-retaining
ability. We trust that you will appreciate the quality of
our handcrafted product.
Please read this manual in its entirety. Its purpose
is to familiarize you with your stove's safe
installation, proper break-in, operation and
maintenance. It contains information that will be
useful to you now, and in years to come, so keep it
handy and refer to it as needed.
Use these instructions as well as national, state, and
local building codes to install your stove. Be sure to
maintain the designated stovepipe and stove
clearances to walls, ceilings, hearth, and other
combustible surfaces. This will help reduce the risk
of fire. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in property damage, bodily injury, and even death.
Locate the stove centrally in your living area to allow
the heat to travel naturally to distant rooms. We
recommend that you do not locate your stove in an
uninsulated basement. The amount of radiant
energy required to heat concrete basement walls is
so great that most of the usable heat is absorbed by
them and lost.
SAFETY NOTICE: A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT IF
THIS STOVE IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL
BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION
IN YOUR AREA.
The performance of your stove depends on many
variables. Since all installations are unique, the
general information and operating procedures
presented here can only serve as useful guidelines
rather than hard and fast rules. Should you have
any questions, do not hesitate to contact your dealer
for additional information.
Validate your warranty - return your warranty
registration card to Hearthstone within 30 days of
purchase. Once your warranty is validated by
returning your warranty card, contact your dealer for
any necessary warranty service.

Locate your stove in a safe, convenient, open area;
away from traffic flow, doors, and hallways; and near
a chimney and chimney connector. Review the
proper clearance measurements from combustible
surfaces. You can safely reduce required clearances
in most cases by using the, optional, rear heat
shield, and also with a special connector pipe and
special wall coverings as specified by this manual,
the NFPA 211 codes, and your local authorities
having jurisdiction.
Keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and
other combustibles far away from the stove. Never
install the stove in a location where gasoline,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or other flammable
liquids are used or stored.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Read and understand this Owner's Manual
thoroughly before installing and using this
stove.
Make sure to install your stove:
According to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
In accordance with all applicable codes.
With the proper sized chimney.
When using your stove:
Warn children and others unfamiliar with
woodstoves of the danger of touching hot,
radiating surfaces of your stove. For your
additional safety, obtain hearth and stove guards
through your local dealer.
Follow recommended break-in procedure as
outlined in this manual.
Burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and
lower emissions result when burning air-dried,
seasoned wood, as compared to green or
freshly cut wood.
Use caution when loading firewood into a hot
stove.
Keep the door closed at all times except when
loading wood.
Inspect the stovepipe, chimney connector and
chimney, as recommended.
Follow these safety precautions:
Never modify this stove in any way, especially
the primary air control system.
Never burn kiln dried wood, painted or treated
wood, solvents, trash, plywood, colored or
glossy paper, artificial logs, cardboard, coal,
garbage or driftwood. Especially, do not burn
coal in this stove.
Never use gasoline type fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or other liquid fuels or solid
fire starters to start or invigorate the fire. These
fuels can possibly generate carbon monoxide,
which can deplete the supply of oxygen. Keep
all such materials away from the stove.
Never use a wood grate or other device to
elevate the fire.
Do Not allow logs to rest against or otherwise
come in contact with the glass when the door is
closed.
Do Not slam the door or use the door to force
wood in to the stove.
Never over-fire your stove. (See page 19)
Never put articles of clothing or candles on a hot
stove.
Do Not connect the stove to a flue that is
serving another appliance.
WARNING: FIREPLACE STOVES EQUIPPED WITH
DOORS SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH
DOORS FULLY OPEN OR DOORS FULLY
CLOSED. IF DOORS ARE LEFT PARTLY OPEN,
GAS AND FLAME MAY BE DRAWN OUT OF THE
FIREPLACE STOVE OPENING, CREATING RISKS
FROM BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE.
Other safety guidelines
As a general rule, keep all movable combustible
items such as furniture, drapes, clothing, and
other items, at least 36" (0.92 m) from the stove.
Install a smoke detector, preferably in an area
away from your wood stove.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy. We recommend
the type rated "A B C."
Dispose of ashes properly. (See page 20)
Keep children and pets away from the stove;
they could be burned by touching a hot stove.
Clean your chimney system as needed. (See
page 21)
PERIODIC CHECKLIST
Perform each of these tasks at the specified
intervals.
At the End of Every Week:
Empty ashes from the firebox sooner if the
firebox begins to fill up.
Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc. ® Tribute Model 8040

At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
A visual inspection of the chimney connector
and chimney for creosote is recommended
depending upon your use of the stove. (Please
see page 21)
Check door seals using the "dollar bill test." -
When the fire is out and the stove is cool, shut
the door on a dollar bill. If the bill pulls out
without any resistance, then your stove’s door
isn't sealed properly. To tighten the seal,
change the door gasket. (Refer to page 22.)
At the End of Every Season:
Dismantle the chimney connector and clean it
thoroughly. Replace any pieces that show signs
of rust or deterioration.
Inspect and, if necessary, clean your chimney.
Thoroughly clean out the inside of the stove.
Inspect all door gasket material and replace if
worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If you have a stovepipe or chimney fire, follow these
instructions:
1. If the fire is too threatening, leave the area and
call the fire department immediately! If not,
perform the next three steps.
2. Close the primary air control.
3. Close the stovepipe damper (if present).
4. Keep the stove door closed!
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT OUT A
STOVEPIPE OR CHIMNEY FIRE BY THROWING
WATER ONTO THE STOVE, STOVEPIPE, OR
CHIMNEY. THE EXTREMELY HIGH
TEMPERATURE ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH FIRES
CAN CAUSE INSTANTANEOUS STEAM AND
SERIOUS BODILY HARM.
Once the chimney fire has expired, leave the primary
air control closed and let the fire in the stove die out
completely. The stove should not be fired again until
the stove, stovepipe, and chimney are all thoroughly
inspected for any sign of damage. You must correct
any damage before using your stove again.
HEARTHSTONE’S THERMO-CERAMIC BAFFLE
SYSTEM
To enhance the combustion efficiency and reduce
the emissions of the fire in your stove Hearthstone
QHHP, Inc. has developed an advanced THERMOCERAMIC baffle system. This system uses a
lightweight, durable ceramic material above the
burner tubes to maintain the high temperatures in
the secondary combustion area and maintain the
low emission – high efficiency combustion you
desire. This new technology will not corrode, rust
dissolve or lose its strength, however it is vulnerable
to puncture or cracking due to rough handling.
PLEASE EXERCISE CARE WHEN LOADING
WOOD OR CLEANING YOUR STOVE, NOT TO
DAMAGE THE THERMO-CERAMIC BAFFLE
Located directly above the burner tubes in the
firebox, this white sheet of material will break if wood
or cleaning brushes impact it. Be careful when
loading and cleaning your stove to not break this
material. If this piece has been fractured or a hole is
punctured, it will cause the stove to function
improperly. You must replace the board through a
qualified Hearthstone dealer.

UNPACKING
Hearthstone Stoves packages your Tribute stove
with the greatest care, so that it ships safely. Under
certain circumstances, however, damage can occur
during transit and handling. When you receive your
stove, unpack it carefully, inspecting your stove and
all parts for damage. Also, make sure that all parts
are included in the box. If any parts are damaged or
missing, please contact your dealer immediately.
INSTALLING YOUR STOVE
First, you must decide where your stove will reside.
After choosing an appropriate spot, inspect this
location to make sure that the stove will have
enough clearance to combustible materials that
would surround the stove. These combustibles can
include walls, floor, ceiling, fireplace, and chimney.
You must carefully consider the clearances to all of
these combustibles before actually connecting your
stove. When considering these clearances, also
decide the kind of floor the stove will rest on.
Please use this section to plan how to locate your
stove in your particular location. Consider both the
clearances of the stovepipe and the stove itself to
the surrounding combustibles.
The soapstone walls of the Tribute soapstone stove
produce and even, radiant heat. Locate the stove
centrally in your living area to allow the heat to travel
naturally to distant rooms. It is not recommended
that you locate your stove in an uninsulated
basement. The amount of radiant energy required to
heat concrete basement walls is so great that most
of the usable heat is absorbed by them and lost.
Read this chapter to obtain a sound understanding
of how to properly install your stove.
If you use a close clearance connector pipe, it must
be tested to UL standards and listed. Check the
listing of your pipe for actual clearances. The
diagrams in this manual represent typical
installations, but are specific to the Simpson DuraVent DVL brand. Clearances cannot be reduced
without the use of close clearance connector pipe
and/or by protecting the surfaces per NFPA 211
standards.
CLEARANCES TO NFPA 211 PROTECTED
SURFACES
You can reduce the clearances to combustible
surfaces by using any National Fire Protection
Agency (NFPA) approved wall protection system.
Please refer to NFPA 211 for specifications and
complete details. You can obtain this information
directly from the NFPA (U.S. Only).

HEARTH REQUIREMENTS AND FLOOR
PROTECTION
Combustible flooring must be protected with a UL
listed hearth pad, or in the absence of fabricate one
with an R-value of 0.6 (slate, marble tiles, or other
noncombustible material can be used for this
purpose). The floor protection must extend beyond
the body of the stove at the minimum as follows:
SIDES 3-1/2” (20 cm Canada)
REAR 0” (20 cm Canada)
FRONT 16” (45 cm Canada)
When installing the Tribute with a rear exit, the
minimum area to be covered by floor protection is
under the chimney connector and 2” (51 mm)
beyond each side.

Note: Dimensions shown in figure above are
measured from the body of the stove unless
otherwise stated.
Floor protector’s come with various types of
specifications. To convert a floor protector’s
specification to an R-value, do one of the following:
If the R-value is given, use that value—no
conversion is needed.
If a k-factor is given with a required
thickness (T) in inches, use this formula:
R-value = 1/k x T
If a C-factor is given, use the formula:
R-value = 1/C
To determine the R-value of the proposed alternate
floor protector:
Use either the k-factor or the C-factor
formula explained above to convert
specifications not expressed as R-values.
For multiple layers of floor protectors, simply
add the R-values of each layer to determine
the overall R-value of the layers.
If the overall R-value of your setup is greater than
the R-value of the specified floor protector, then your
setup is acceptable.
Handle Assembly
Locate the handle, bolt, and washers enclosed in the
envelope with the owner’s manual. Place the
washers on the bolt and then push it through the
handle so that the bolt threads extend through the
bottom of the handle. Using a slotted screwdriver,
turn the bolt into the chrome latch on the door, until
snug.
Handle Operation
Front Door – when closed, the handle will be in the 7
o’clock position. To open the front door, rotate the
latch clockwise to approximately the 10 o’clock
position.

OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY
(Kit # 90-53400)
An outside air source may be connected directly to
this stove using an optional outside air kit. The
advantage of providing outside air directly to the
stove is that the air used by the stove for combustion
is taken from outside of the residence rather than
from within the room where the stove is located.
With outside air supplied directly to the stove, drafts
within the room and air infiltration within the building
are reduced. Use of the outside air kit may also
improve stove performance in a particularly airtight
house.
The outside air kit for this stove allows for the direct
connection of the stove's air intake to a minimum 3"
(76 mm) diameter duct (supplied by others) which
leads to the outside of the house. When considering
placement of the duct from the outside of the house
to the hearth, keep in mind the need to avoid
structural members of the house. The outside air kit
will attach to the back of the stove.
The termination of the duct on the outside wall of the
stove should be located in such a manner so as to
preclude the possibility of obstruction by snow,
leaves or other material and should be screened
against animals and insects. The termination should
be screened using ¼” x ¼” mesh rodent screen and
be covered with a rain/wind proof hood (flex pipe,
outside termination, mesh, and hood supplied by
others) Contact your dealer for availability).
