PERATION
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.

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.
