INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of Hearthstone’s
Tudor Gas-Fired Direct Vent heater. The Tudor
incorporates the latest in balanced vent gas
technology, which will provide you with clean,
efficient heat for years to come. Combustion air
comes directly from the outside of your home to
the sealed firebox system, eliminating the potential
for annoying back drafts or other problems
associated with home depressurization.

The Tudor 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. It includes the new TEK Firelog
technology, which is an amazing blend of realistic
flames and glowing embers with incredible heating
characteristics.

READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL

Operate and maintain this gas heater according to
the instructions in this manual. For your safety, and
years of trouble free operation, read this manual in
its entirety. By following a few simple safety
precautions and by performing minimal
maintenance, the unit will remain appealing while
providing years of quality performance.

• WARNING!
A qualified service technician should do
installation, and repair. A qualified service
technician must inspect the appliance before
use, and at least annually. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, bedding material, pets,
etc. It is imperative that the control
compartments, burners, and circulating air
passages of the appliance are kept clean and
free of obstructions.

(S’assurer que le brûleur
et le compartiment des commandes sont
propres. Voir les instructions d’installation et
d’utilisation qui accompagnent l’appareil.)

• WARNING:
Do not operate this appliance with the glass, or any
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.

liquid propane (LP). Never burn any fuel not
intended for use with this unit.

OWNER’S 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.

ou règlements locaux, ou, en l’absence de tels
règlements, selon les Codes d’installation CAN/CGA­B149.)

Do not use this appliance if any part was 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 was
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 Tudor is easily operated by the homeowner
once installed and adjusted by qualified service
personnel. The unit can be controlled via the wall­mounted 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

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.

(Installer l’appareil selon les codes

22.

Clean the area around, under, and behind the unit
on a regular basis to prevent the accumulation of
dust and lint.

The Tudor requires minimal routine maintenance
and care. It should always be cool and off when
being cleaned, or serviced. 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, qualified service personnel should perform
it.

SERVICE CAUTION

If you believe your Tudor is not, in any way,
performing properly, immediately discontinue
operation until the unit is inspected and approved
by qualified service personnel. Prior to servicing
the unit, turn the valve control knob clockwise to
“OFF”. The unit should be cool prior to servicing
and cleaning. Use of any components not supplied
by Hearthstone on the stove voids all warranties.
Do not substitute components.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Unpack and Inspect for Damage

The Tudor is packaged by the manufacturer to
withstand shipment without damage. However,
damage can still 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.

The Tudor requires a pilot shield. This shield
is shipped with the unit. Make sure the sure
the shield is installed over the pilot with the
open end is to the right (when you are facing
the front of the stove)

Inspect the Tudor for visible or concealed damage.
The unit should appear to be square and true. 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 accessory box removed and set aside,
take care not to mar or chip the enameled legs, if
applicable. Have someone help lift the stove out of
the shipping box and set it into place.
The TEK Burner and TEK Firelogs supplied with the
Tudor are contained in the accessory box. The
inner refractory panels are wrapped and are in the
firebox. Always use great care when handling the
decorative fire logs and inner panels, as they are
fragile and subject to damage and breakage if
handled roughly. If a broken log or panel is
encountered, contact your dealer for replacements.
Otherwise, set the logs and panels aside until called
for during the installation.

HEARTH REQUIREMENT/FLOOR
PROTECTION

The Tudor may be placed on any surface or wood

floor, carpeting, or vinyl tile, with or without legs.
Installations must meet local codes.

Removing the Tudor’s legs

The Tudor has the unique possibility of having its
legs removed, allowing for the unit to rest on its
base. To do this, simply use two 7/16” wrenches or
ratchets and loosen and remove the two
centermost ¼-20 bolts and nuts holding the legs

on. These can be reached the easiest from behind
the unit and should be removed prior to any other
connections have been made. Once removed, lift
the unit off the legs and set in the desired location.
