Tucson Model #8700

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.
