-5-
SAFETY INFORMATION cont.
HOT SURFACES
Certain exposed surfaces of the Tucson will reach high
temperatures during normal operation. Clearances to
combustibles must be maintained, as specified in the
Clearances To Combustibles section of this manual. The
Tucson should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture, draperie s, clothing and flammable materials.
Do not place objects that may obstruct air circulation on,
under, or near the heater. Do not place objects on the top
grill of the stove. Doing so will obstruct the air flow of
the stove, preventing it from operating properly. Clean
the area around, under, and behind the unit on a regular
basis to prevent the accumulation of dust and lint.
Children and adults who are unfamiliar with heaters of
this type should be alerted to the hazards of high surface
temperatures and warned that they should stay away to
avoid burns to skin and clothing. Children should be
carefully supervised when in the same area as the Tucson
heater. Do not leave children unattended in the vicinity
of this unit.
NEVER BURN PAPER, WOOD, OR OTHER
MATERIALS
This gas heater is designed to burn either natural
gas(NG) or liquid propane(LP). Never burn any fuel
which was not intended for use.
DO NOT LIGHT PILOT OR MAIN BURNERS
BY HAND
The standing pilot light equipped with this gas heater is
lit by using a piezoelectric spark generator, as described
in the How To Turn the Unit On & Off section of this
manual. Never attempt to light the pilot or main burners
by hand (with a match or lighter). After repeated
attempts, if the pilot light fails to light, discontinue
operation, turn off the gas
at the gas control valve, and
immediately contact qualified service personnel for
assistance.
FIRE HAZARD
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
The Tucson should be located out of traffic and
away from furniture, draperies, clothing, and
flammable material.
CERAMIC FIBER LOG SAFETY
INFORMATION
If the decorative ceramic logs and ember strip
material supplied with the Tucson are damaged or
missing, they must be replaced with the same,
approved replacement parts supplied by the
manufacturer. These components affect the
combustion quality and safety of the heater. Do not
replace fiber ceramic logs or ember strip with
unapproved ceramic logs or any other material.
Always wear gloves and safety goggles while
handling the log set and ember strip.
SERVICE CAUTION
If you believe your Tucson is not, in any way,
performing properly, immediately discontinue
operation until the unit has been inspected and
approved by qualified service personnel. Prior to
servicing the unit, turn the valve control knob
clockwise to “OFF”. The unit should be cool prior
to servicing and cleaning. Any component
removed during servicing should be replaced prior
to operation. Use of any components not supplied
by HearthStone on the stove voids all warranties.
Do not substitute components.
