Wait (5) five minutes to clear out any gas.
If you then smell gas, STOP!
Smell all
around the appliance area for gas. Be sure
to smell next to the floor because some
gases (LPG) are heavier than air and will
settle on the floor. If you smell gas

If you do not smell gas, go to the
next step.

PPLIANCE
Turn the gas control knob clockwise to “OFF”
position. If shutting the unit off for the non-
heating season, this will improve the overall
efficiency of the unit as the heat from the pilot is
wasted in the summer. When putting the unit
back into service follow the lighting instructions
described on this page.

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.

PERATIONS
The homeowner easily operates the Santa Fe
gas-fired heater. The unit comes with a standard
thermostat. Remote thermostats, or wall
switches are available for purchase from your
local Hearthstone dealer. Once the thermostat is
installed and properly adjusted, the desired room
temperature is maintained. 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. Also
available is a variable speed blower. (Kit# 93-
