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.
