Hearth and Home Technologies Tucson (8700) OWNER’S Information, Routine Maintenance and Care

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. (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.
