Stowe DX Model 8322

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.
Burner Flame Appearance
Once the unit is lit, observe the flame pattern and
adjust as necessary. Also, a periodic visual check of
the burner flame should be performed. The burner
flames can be adjusted by means of the air shutter.
To determine if the burner flame needs adjustment,
it is necessary to view the flame pattern with the
valve output at its highest setting. Allow the unit to
operate for 10 minutes enabling the entire unit to
reach temperature and for the flame pattern to
stabilize. The flame pattern should be similar to the
one shown in Figure 41. There are several
guidelines to aid in determining if the flame pattern is
correct:
1. The flame should not be dirty, smoky, sooty, or
lick the top of the stove.
2. The flame should not rise off the pan burner; this
is called “lifting”.
3. Flames should not impinge heavily on the log
set. They should “fit” through the pre-formed
spaces designed in the log set.

Daily Operation
Your Stowe gas-fired heater is easily operated once
installed
and
adjusted
by
qualified
service
personnel.
The
unit
is
controlled
via
the
ON/REMOTE/OFF switch on the Receiver or by the
Remote Control.
W
ith the Receiver switch set to ‘REMOTE’ you have
the option of setting the thermostat on the remote
control to the desired room temperature and the unit
will cycle on and off as required. Or you can set the
switch on the Receiver to ‘ON’ and the burner will
light and remain on High until you turn it off.

You can adjust the flame height on the DX via the
remote control, or use the ‘Smart’ mode to let the
system automatically adjust it for you. See the
Proflame GTMF use and installation instructions
included with the Remote transmitter for detailed
system operation instructions.
During the summer non-heating season, switch the
unit “OFF”, and flip the pilot switch to Intermittent
(IPI). This will improve the overall efficiency of the
unit as the heat from the pilot is not wasted. When
putting the unit back into service, replace any
batteries with fresh ones, and refer to the lighting
instructions on page 32.
Note: the unit will produce odors for a short
time when lit after a long period of non-use.
A thorough cleaning of the unit to remove
dust will minimize this effect. Open a window
briefly to help quickly dissipate the odors.
When the unit is first lit, especially when cool, it is
normal to experience some condensation on the
inside of the window glass. This condensation will
evaporate within the first few minutes of operation. If
continuous condensation on the window glass or
dripping water from any part of the unit or venting
system (chimney) is noted, immediately discontinue
