NTRODUCTION
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 Stowe 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 Stowe is equipped with a standard
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 has been installed and the
On/Off/Thermostat switch is set to
“Thermostat”, 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 a speed
blower fan, Kit #93-57001, which turns on
and off independently of the burner flames.
The switch allows you to turn the fan on or
off and control the speed of the fan to suit
your needs. Regardless of the speed the fan
is set, the fan will automatically come on
when the unit heats up.
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 stove 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.
