Congratulations on your purchase of a
Stowe Gas-Fired Direct-Vent heater. The
Stowe, by HearthStone, incorporates the
latest in balanced vent gas technology,
which will provide you with clean, efficient
heat for years to come. The cast iron gives
the Stowe a pleasing look that is maintained
with minimum care.
The Stowe will provide you with years of
practical and convenient service. However,
as with any gas appliance, the unit must be
properly installed and maintained by
qualified service personnel to ensure safe
and trouble-free operation.
Your Stowe is equipped with a standing
pilot which:
1. Generates a milli-volt signal that
powers (opens) the millivolt gas
valve.
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 operates
independently of the thermostat. 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 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 room 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.
