MAINTENANCE AND

CARE

The Tucson requires minimal routine

maintenance and care. The unit should always be cool and off when being serviced.

› WARNING: Do not substitute materials. For replacement parts, or for information about parts or service, contact your local HearthStone dealer.

CLEANING

›WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN THE UNIT WHEN IT’S 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 or wax based cleaners or polishes is not recommended due to the potential for discoloration when the residue of the cleaners or polishes is exposed to heat.

FIREBOX

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, remove the front and carefully remove the decorative ceramic fiber log set (after it has cooled), taking care not to damage the logs or chip the enamel cast iron. Clean the firebox, burner tube, and pilot assembly and carefully vacuum the entire surface of the log set. Take care to thoroughly vacuum the ports (holes) along the top of the burner tubes and the pilot assembly.

PILOT & BURNER FLAMES

With the decorative ceramic fiber logs out of the firebox, fasten the front shut and momentarily light the unit according to lighting instructions described in the How To Turn the Unit On & Off section of this manual. Check to ensure a flame is burning from each burner port. The pilot flame should be large enough to engulf the thermocouple and thermopile as shown in Figure 23.

NOTE: Do not operate the unit for more than 1-2 minutes without the log set in place. Turn the unit off by setting the thermostat to “OFF”, and turning the gas control valve off. Allow the unit to cool.

Check and clean any burner ports that were not burning properly or at all. Clean burner ports using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. If the pilot flame height needs adjustment it should be adjusted by a qualified service technician as described in the Initial Adjustments section of this manual.

Complete the cleaning procedure by carefully placing the log set within the firebox as described in the Log Set Information section of this manual. Fasten the front door. Turn on the gas, light the unit and check for proper operation. Flame patterns should look like Figure 24. Regularly check to insure the area around the Tucson is kept free and clear from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Check that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
