Introduction 

Congratulations  on  your  purchase  of  the  Stowe 
Model  8322,  Gas-Fired  Direct-Vent  heater.  The 
Stowe,  by  Hearthstone,  incorporates  the  latest  in 
direct  vent  gas  technology,  which  will  provide  you 
with  clean,  efficient  heat  for  years  to  come.  The 
enameled  or  painted  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  and  safely 
installed  and  maintained  by  qualified  service 
personnel to ensure safe and trouble-free operation.

Intermittent (IPI) or Continuous (CPI) pilot mode.  

a.  The  IPI  mode  allows  the  most  efficient 

use  of  gas,  burning  the  pilot  only  when 
the  thermostat  calls  for  the  burner  to 
ignite. 

b.  The CPI mode runs the pilot 

continuously keeping the firebox warmer 
thus promoting better draft in colder 
climates.   

7.  Battery  backup  for  functionality  during  power 

outages. 

Control System Features:  

1.  Proflame GTMF System 

a.  Thermostatic Remote Control
