The Tribute DV requires minimal routine
maintenance and care. It should always be cool and
off when being cleaned, or serviced. Once a year,
the unit, and venting system should be inspected by
qualified service personnel to insure that they are
clean, free of obstruction, safe, and in good working
order. If service or maintenance is required,
qualified service personnel should perform it.

WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN THE UNIT WHEN
HOT.
The unit should receive regular cleaning on, under,
and around the stove to prevent the buildup of dust
and lint. The exterior surfaces of the unit can be
cleaned using soap, water, and a soft cloth.
Do not
use abrasive or chemical cleaners and take care
not to scratch the glass or enamel finish (if so
equipped) when cleaning the unit. The use of
chemical wax based cleaners or polishes are not
recommended due to the potential for discoloration
of the stones, castings or enamel when the
residues of the cleaners or polishes are exposed to
heat. Excessive buildup of dust, spider webs, or
room air contamination may cause odors when the
stove is hot.

SSEMBLY
The firebox requires periodic cleaning to prevent
the accumulation of dust, lint, and other debris. To
clean the firebox, set the thermostat to the “OFF”
position, and turn off the gas at the gas control
valve. When the unit is cool, open the front door,
and remove the front cast and glass assembly.
Carefully remove the decorative log set, taking care
not to damage the logs or chip the enamel cast iron.
Clean the firebox and TEK burner, and carefully
vacuum the entire surface of the log set.
Thoroughly vacuum the ports (holes) along the top
of the TEK burner, and the pilot assembly.
With the decorative logs out of the firebox, re-install
the glass assembly and front cast. Briefly light the
unit according to the lighting instructions described
on page 22. Check to insure a proper flame is
burning from each burner port. The pilot flame
should be large enough to engulf the thermopile
and thermocouple as shown in Figure 10.
NOTE: Do not operate the unit for more than
1-2 minutes without the log set in place.
Turn the unit off by setting the thermostat to
“OFF”, and turning the gas control valve off.
Allow the unit to cool.
Check and clean any burner ports that are not
burning, or not burning properly. Clean burner ports
using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. If the pilot
flame height needs adjustment, it should be
adjusted by qualified service personnel as
described on page 24.
Complete the cleaning procedure by carefully
placing the log set within the firebox as described
on page 20. Re-install the glass assembly and front
cast. Turn on the gas, light the unit and check for
proper operation. Flame patterns should look
similar to the flames in Figure 11. Regularly check
to insure the area around the Tribute DV is kept
free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids. Check that the flow
of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.

EEDED
Your Tribute DV uses a 3/4” tape-style fiberglass
gasket to make a tight seal between the doorframe
and the firebox. In time, the gasket can become
brittle and compressed and should be replaced.
New gasket material is available from your
Authorized Hearthstone Dealer. Protect your hands
with work gloves, and wash up later.
1. Allow the Tribute DV to cool completely.
2. Remove the front cast and glass frame as
described in the
Log Placement
section.
3. Using a 1/8” drill bit drill out the rivet in the top
center of the glass frame. This will allow the
glass to free up from the steel.
4. Remove the existing gasket by grasping one
end and pulling firmly. Clean the remaining
adhesive on the glass off with warm soapy
water. Let dry.
5. Determine the correct length of the appropriate-
sized gasket by wrapping it around in the glass.
