TUCSON Gas-Fired Direct-Vent

PILOT LIGHT WARNING

The Tucson has a piezoelectric spark igniter (the push button located next to the gas control valve behind the valve access door), which ignites the pilot light by means of a spark at the pilot light assembly. Do not attempt to light the unit with a match or by any means than the piezoelectric spark.

PREPARE FOR LIGHTING

Prepare for the lighting procedure by adjusting the thermostat (if equipped) to its lowest setting or OFF position. If the gas control knob is not in the OFF position, turn the knob fully clockwise to OFF. Locate the variable output control knob and turn it fully clockwise to the highest setting.

Prior to lighting the unit for the first time, wait 5 minutes to allow any residual gas within the unit to dissipate. Smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gases are heavier than air and will settle on the floor. If you do not smell gas after this five-minute period, proceed with the lighting procedure. If you do smell gas, DO NOT proceed with the lighting procedure. Instead, immediately refer to the What To Do If You Smell Gas Warning, on the cover of this manual.

WARNING: The valve control has an interlock device. After shutting off all gas flow, the pilot burner cannot be relit until the thermocouple has cooled, allowing the electromagnet to be released (approx. 60 seconds). The gas control knob is designed to be operated by hand. Do not use any tools during this operation. Damaged knobs may result in serious injury.

INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS

Once the Tucson has been set in place, connected and assembled as described in the Clearances To Combustibles, Venting

Components & Configurations, Electrical Connections, And Gas Supply and Connections sections of this manual, the unit is almost ready to be lit for the first time. The manufacturer tests each unit prior to shipment, so ignition should take place without failure. However, a number of small

adjustments may be necessary to compensate for variations in gas pressure, altitude, and other factors particular to each installation.

VARIABLE OUTPUT CONTROL

The gas control valve is equipped with a variable output control. This control varies the rate of heat produced by the unit by varying the gas pressure to the main burner tube. A combination of heat output and the thermostat setting affect the length of the burn cycle. If your stove turns on and off too often, try, first, reducing the burn cycle by turning the HI/LOW knob, on the control valve, to a lower setting. Using the variable output control, the heat output of the unit can be reduced for mild fall and spring months, or maximized for the colder winter months. This adjustment can be made, by the homeowner, as necessary by turning the variable output control knob to “HI”, “LO” or any setting in between.

AIR SHUTTER

The air shutter is used to regulate the air-to- gas combustion mixture, which in turn influences the size and color of the flames. The air shutter has been positioned in the general location needed for the type of gas being used, however, if the unit is not burning as well as it should, then the air shutter may need adjusting. The air shutter may need adjustment once the unit has been installed to compensate for variations in supply line pressure, restriction plate position, altitude, gas type conversions, and other variables.
