Congratulations on your purchase of a 
Tucson Gas-Fired Direct-Vent heater.  The 
Tucson, by  HearthStone, incorporates the 
latest in balanced vent gas technology, 
which will provide you with clean, efficient 
heat for years to come. The combination of 
natural stones and cast iron gives the Tucson 
a pleasing look that can be maintained with 
minimum care. 
 
The Tucson 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. 
 
Your Tucson is equipped with a standard 
pilot which: 
1.  generates a milli-volt signal that 
powers the wall-mounted thermostat 
and; 
2.  lights the main burner when the 
thermostat calls for heat. 
 
This unit is equipped with an On/Off/T’stat 
switch and a variable output control. The 
variable output control is located on the gas 
control valve. It allows you to vary the heat 
output, along with the flame height to suit 
personal taste. Heat output can be reduced 
{set to “LOW”} during the Fall and Spring, 
when the need for heat is reduced and 
increased {set to “HIGH” during Winter 
months, when the need for heat is the 
greatest. 
 
A wall-mounted thermostat is provided by 
HearthStone. Regardless of how you set the 
variable output control, when the optional 
thermostat has been installed and the 
On/Off/T’stat switch is set to “T’stat”, the 
wall-mounted thermostat will control the 
on/off cycling of the unit. At any time, you 
can override the thermostat with the 
On/Off/T’stat switch by setting it to “ON” 
or “OFF”. 
 
The Unit can also be equipped with an 
optional blower fan, Kit  which turns on and 
off independently of the burner flames. 
When the switch, which allows you to turn 
the fan on or off and control the speed of the 
fan to suit your needs, is set to “High” or 
“Lo”, the fan will automatically turn on 
when the stove is hot and cycle off when the 
unit is no longer hot. 
 
Also available are two different optional 
remote controls. Both of the remote controls 
are capable of turning the unit on and off. 
One of the optional remotes also allows you 
to control the temperature of the stove from 
anywhere in the vicinity of the unit. If “ON” 
& “OFF” are the only controls required, Kit 
# 90-56912 can be used. If you would like to 
control the temperature via the remote 
control, use Kit # 90-56914.
