The Tudor 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 SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.

LEANING
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 is not recommended due
to the potential for discoloration of the stones,
castings or enamel when the residue 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, refractory panels, or chip the enamel cast iron.
Clean the firebox, refractory panels, 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 12
.
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
25.
Complete the cleaning procedure by carefully
placing the log set within the firebox as described on
page 21. 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 13
. Regularly check to insure
the area around the Tudor 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.

EPLACING THE

LASS

ASKET
Your Tudor 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 Tudor 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.
Allow an extra 1 to 2” (25-50mm), and mark the
spot to be cut.
6. Cut the gasket at the marked spot with a utility
knife.
7. Starting at one end, pull the paper off the back
of the gasket and center the gasket over the
glass. Continue around the glass until you meet
