Turn the gas control knob clockwise to “OFF”
position, and shut off the gas supply to the valve 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. Follow
the lighting instructions outlined on this page when
putting the unit back into service.

The gas control valve is equipped with a variable
output control. This control varies the

of heat
produced by the unit by varying the gas pressure to
the main burner tube.

PERATIONS
The Stowe gas-fired heater is easy to operate. The
Stowe comes with a standard thermostat. Optional
remote, or programmable thermostats are available
for purchase from your local Hearthstone dealer.
The desired room temperature is maintained with a
properly adjusted and installed thermostat. By
adjusting the variable output control located on the
gas control valve, the rate of heat output is 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 optional variable
speed blower.

AND ONLY A QUALIFIED GAS TECHNICIAN
SHOULD MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.
The air shutter is adjustable while the stove is

Note:
Very little movement is needed to substantially
change the burn and flame patterns. Some
conditions cannot be corrected through air shutter
adjustment; an adjustment must be made to the gas
supply pressure. Supply line/manifold gas line
pressure adjustments must be performed by
qualified service personnel. Do not attempt to
complete any part of the installation or adjustment of
this unit unless technically qualified to do so.
