Congratulations on your purchase of the
Tucson Model 8701, 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 is
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 standing
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 is 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. The
fan switch allows you to turn the fan on or
off and control the speed of the fan to suit
your needs. The fan will automatically turn
on when the stove is hot, and cycle off when
the unit cools.
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 room from
anywhere in the vicinity of the unit. If “ON”
& “OFF” are the only controls required; use
Kit # 90-56912. If you would like to control
the temperature via the remote control, use
Kit # 90-56914.
