OWNER’S INFORMATION
The installation must conform with local codes or,in the absences of local codes, the current National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) or
CAN/CSA B149 Installation Code.
(Installer
l’appareil selon les codes ou règlements locaux,ou, en l’absence de tels règlements, selon les
Codes d’installation CAN/CSA-B149.)

cool, it is normal to experience some condensationon the inside of the window glass. This condensation
will burn off within the first few minutes of operation.
If continuous condensation on the window glass or
dripping water from any part of the unit or venting
system (chimney) is noted, immediately discontinue
operation of the unit and contact qualified service
personnel.

DAILY OPERATION
CLEANING

The Tribute DV is easily operated by the homeowneronce installed and adjusted by qualified service
personnel. The unit can be controlled via the wallmounted thermostat during the heating season. Set
the thermostat to the desired room temperature andthe unit will cycle on and off as required. By
adjusting the variable output control located on thegas control valve, the rate of heat output can bevaried to meet the heating requirements of theseason. Choosing a low flame setting will result in
longer burn cycles at a reduced output, whilechoosing a high flame setting will result in a shorter,hotter burn cycle. Through trial and error, thehomeowner can select the optimum flame size for
their setting and application.

Clean the area around, under, and behind the unit
on a regular basis to prevent the accumulation ofdust and lint.
The Tribute DV requires minimal routine
maintenance and care. It should always be cool andoff when being cleaned, or serviced. Once a year,
the unit, and venting system should be inspected byqualified service personnel to insure that they areclean, free of obstruction, safe, and in good working
order.
If service or maintenance is required,qualified service personnel should perform it.

SERVICE CAUTION
If you believe your Tribute DV is not, in any way,
performing properly, immediately discontinue
operation until the unit has been inspected andapproved by qualified service personnel. Prior toservicing the unit, turn the valve control knob
clockwise to “OFF”. The unit should be cool prior toservicing and cleaning. Use of any components not
supplied by Hearthstone on the stove voids all
warranties. Do not substitute components.

EFFICIENCYDuring the summer non-heating season, switch thewall thermostat to “OFF”, and turn off the pilot. This
will improve the overall efficiency of the unit as theheat from the pilot is wasted. When putting the unit
back into service, follow the lighting instructions
described on page 24.

CONDENSATION
Fuel gasses produce water vapor when burned.
Therefore, when the unit is first lit, especially when8

The venting configuration is shown in Figure 5 (withthe optional snorkel), and Figure 6 showing theminimum vent kit. After determining the venting
configuration for your stove, select the vent systemthat will accommodate your installation.

RESTRICTION PLATE
There is a vent restriction plate that adjusts the flowrate of exhaust gases. This insures proper flames
and efficiency for the wide variety of ventconfigurations. Controlling the draft also changes
the aesthetics of the flame. The restriction plate
consists of a rotating shutter behind the starter
section of pipe and an adjustment plate with anindex hole used to hold the shutter in a fixed
position. The restriction plate has unlimited settings.
Depending on the vent configuration, you may berequired to adjust the restriction plate position. For
straight out the back installations no adjustment
to the restrictor is necessary.

CAUTION: ENSURE THERE IS NO WIRING OR
PLUMBING IN THE CHOSEN LOCATION.
CAUTION: DO NOT RECESS VENTINGTERMINALS INTO A WALL OR SIDING.

Note: If further direction is needed for installation,please refer to the venting instructions, which areprovided with the venting components.

ADJUSTMENT TO RESTRICTION PLATE
Make sure the unit is cool before touching any partof the firebox. To adjust your restrictor for maximum
flame appearance, loosen the Phillips head screw,
found on the upper rear right side of the stove. Spinthe indicator tab into the desired position. Rotating
counterclockwise closes the exhaust gasses, whilerotating clockwise opens the exhaust gases. Oncethe desired restriction is reached, tighten the screw.
There are unlimited positions for the restriction plate,one (1) being the lowest and three (3) being thehighest. (Refer to Venting Configuration – Figure 4

5. Install the horizontal vent termination on theoutside of the wall. Make sure both of theretaining straps extend through interior wall
thimble.
Before attaching
the vent
termination to the outside of the house, run
a bead of non-hardening mastic around its’
outside edges, so as to make a seal
between it and the wall. The arrow on theend cap should point up. Secure the cap
to the wall with the appropriate screws.
6. Move the stove and vent pipe into position.
Make sure the vent pipe extends into thehorizontal vent cap a minimum of 1-1/4”).
7. Secure the vent using the straps from thehorizontal vent termination to the interior
pipe with 2 sheet metal screws, keeping thescrews close to the wall thimble as possible.
Bend or cut the excess strapping, so that it
is not visible after the installation iscomplete.

1. Install the straight over the outer collar.
2. Move the stove and pipe assembly backuntil the straight is flush to the wall. Pull up
on the pipe to ensure that there is a ¼”
per foot rise coming out of the stove.
3. Draw a circle around the pipe. Use thecenter of this circle as the center point of the10” x 10” square wall pass through. Cut andframe the wall pass through.
4. Place the interior wall thimble into the 10” x
10” wall pass through. Secure it with 4
screws (not provided). Install the exterior
portion of the thimble in similar fashion,

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONSNOTE: open valve door on the lower front of unit for electrical and gas connections.

THERMOSTAT

Placement of the thermostat on an inside wall
rather than an outside wall is preferable. Do notplace the thermostat directly behind or too close to
the unit, otherwise heat from the unit will
immediately satisfy the thermostat and turn the unit
off.

The ON/OFF/T’stat switch or wall mounted
thermostat controls the Tribute DV.
We
recommend installation of the thermostat for more
comfortable performance, however you may stilloverride the thermostat by setting the switch to“ON”. The thermostat controls the unit by “calling forheat.” The thermostat turns the unit on when theroom is cold, and turns the unit off once the room iswarmed sufficiently. The thermostat is controlled by
a 750 millivolt DC two-wire circuit.

THERMOSTAT WIRING
The thermostat should be connected to the Tribute
DV using no more than 40’ (12 m) of the provided
insulated thermostat wire. The thermostat wire fromthe Tribute DV to the thermostat can be surface
mounted or routed under the floor, through walls,
etc.

REMOTE CONTROL
There are two different optional remote controls
available for the Tribute DV. Both of the remotecontrols are capable of turning the unit on and off.
One of the optional remotes also allows you tocontrol the temperature of the stove, (in the same
way the thermostat controls the heater), fromanywhere in the vicinity of the unit. If “ON” & “OFF”
are the only controls required, Kit #90-56912 can beused. If you would like to control the temperature
via the remote control, use Kit #90-56914.
Installation instructions are provided with the kits.

Be sure to leave a small coil of additional
thermostat wire behind the Tribute DV so that theunit can be moved out of position for servicing andcleaning.
Connect one of the thermostat wires to the gas
control marked TH and the other to the yellow wirecoming from the on/off T’stat switch. When making
these connections, position the thermostat wire sothat it extends towards the wall behind the Tribute
DV, then towards the thermostat.

THERMOSTAT PLACEMENT
The thermostat should be placed in the same roomor living space as the unit. Typically 5’ (1.5m) off thefloor and away from any influences that may cause
the temperature in the vicinity of the thermostat tobe unrepresentative of the room temperature in
general. Such influences might include strong
lighting, a heater vent from the central heating
system, or a nearby drafty window.

At the thermostat, the wires should be connected tothe two connection screws on the back of thethermostat per the instructions received with thethermostat. Take care not to over-tighten theconnection screws and not to damage the internal
parts
of
the
thermostat.

supply line should be ½” diameter, or appropriately
sized to provide a sufficient gas supply to meet the
maximum demand of the unit without undue loss ofpressure. We recommend a flexible line to avoid
undue mechanical load on the valve and to easethread alignment, but refer to local codes.

match or by any means other than the piezoelectric
spark.

DO NOT LIGHT PILOT OR BURNER BY HAND
The standing pilot light on this gas heater is lit byusing a piezoelectric spark generator as described
elsewhere in this manual. Never attempt to light thepilot or main burner by hand with a match or lighter.
If, after repeated attempts, the pilot light fails tolight, discontinue operation; turn off the gas at thegas control valve, and immediately contact qualified
service personnel for assistance.

CAUTION: LIGHTING THE TRIBUTE DV FOR THE
FIRST TIME AND ADJUSTMENTS TO THE UNITSHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIEDSERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.

This appliance is only for use with the type(s) of gas
indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is notconvertible for use with other gases, unless acertified kit is used.

PREPARE FOR LIGHTING
Prepare for the lighting procedure by adjusting thethermostat (if equipped) to its lowest setting or OFF
position. If the gas control knob is not in the OFF
position, turn the knob fully clockwise to OFF.
Locate the variable output control knob and turn it
fully clockwise to the highest setting.

(Cet appareil doit être utilisé uniquement avec les
types de gas indiqués sur la plaque signalétique.
Ne pas l’utiliser avec d’autres gas sauf si un kit deconversion certifié est installé.)

SMOKE AND FUMES WARNING
When lit for the first time, the Tribute DV will emit
some smoke and fumes. This is normal “offgassing” of the paints and oils used in the
manufacturing and assembly of the unit. Openwindows to vent the room if necessary. The off
gassing and fumes will subside after the first 10 to
20 minutes of operation.

Prior to lighting the unit for the first time, wait 5
minutes to allow any residual gas within the unit todissipate. Smell all around the appliance area forgas. Be sure to smell next to the floor becausesome gases are heavier than air and will settle on
the floor. If you do not smell gas after this fiveminute period, proceed with the lighting procedure.
If you do smell gas, DO NOT proceed with thelighting procedure. Instead, immediately refer tothe What To Do If You Smell Gas Warning, on
the cover of this manual.

ODORS AND IMPURITIESA heater of this type may produce odors during
heater operation due to impurities that may exist in
the immediate area. Sources of impurities can becleaning solvents, paint solvents, cigarettes,
candles, smoke, pet hair, dust, adhesives, newcarpet, and/or textiles. Such odors will dissipate.
However, opening a window or otherwise providing
additional ventilation to the area can alleviate thecondition. If any odor persists, contact your dealer
or an authorized service technician.

WARNING: THE VALVE CONTROL HAS AN
INTERLOCK DEVICE. AFTER SHUTTING OFF
ALL GAS FLOW, THE PILOT BURNER CANNOT
BE RELIT UNTIL THE THERMOCOUPLE HAS
COOLED, ALLOWING THE ELECTROMAGNETTO BE RELEASED (APPROX. 60 SECONDS). THE

MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.

PILOT LIGHT WARNING
The Tribute DV has a piezoelectric spark igniter(the red push button located next to the gas control
valve behind the valve access door), which ignites
the pilot light by means of a spark at the pilot lightassembly. Do not attempt to light the unit with a23

INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS
Once the Tribute DV is in place, connected andassembled as described in the “Clearances To
Combustibles”,“Venting
Components&
Configurations,” “Electrical Connections”, and “GasSupply and Connections” sections of this manual,
the unit is almost ready to be lit for the first time.
The manufacturer tests each unit prior to shipment,so ignition should take place without failure.
However, a number of small adjustments may benecessary to compensate for variations in gas
pressure, altitude, and other factors particular toeach installation.

6. Push in control knob all the way and hold in.
Immediately light the pilot with the gas lighter(push in and “click” the piezoelectric spark
igniter button several times until lit). Continue tohold the control knob in for about 20 seconds
after the pilot is lit. Release the knob and it will
pop back out. Pilot should remain lit. If the pilot
goes out, repeat the operation.
If knob does not pop out when released,
stop, shut off the gas supply to the heaterand immediately call a qualified service
technician or gas supplier.

VARIABLE OUTPUT CONTROL

If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries,
turn the gas control knob “OFF” and call aqualified service technician or gas supplier.

The gas control valve is equipped with a variable
output control. This control varies the rate of heatproduced by the unit by varying the gas pressure to
the TEK Burner. A combination of heat output andthe thermostat setting affect the length of the burncycle. If your stove turns on and off too often, try,first, reducing the burn cycle by turning the HI/LOW
knob, on the control valve, to a lower setting. Using
the variable output control, the heat output of theunit can be reduced for mild fall and spring months,
or maximized for the colder winter months. Thisadjustment can be made, by the homeowner, as
necessary by turning the variable output control
knob to “HI”, “LO” or any setting in between.

7. After the pilot lights, turn gas control knob
counter-clockwise to “ON”.
8. If the ON/OFF/T’stat switch is set to “ON”, thestove should now be lit. If the thermostat (orremote) has been installed, set the ON/OFF/T’stat switch to “T’stat” and turn the thermostat(or remote) to “ON”. Then set the desired
temperature.
9. Shut the gas control valve access door.
10. Plug in the fan accessory, if so equipped.
11. If T’stat was selected, set thermostat to “ON”
and set desired temperature setting. Normally,
if T’stat position was selected, the main burneris cycled on and off by the thermostat or the“on/off” switch located on the bottom of thethermostat body.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONSNOTE: The gas control knobs and the piezo
igniter are located under the front of the unit.
1. STOP! Read the What To Do If You Smell Gas!
Warning (on the cover of this manual).
2. Set the on/off/T’stat switch or thermostat to the“OFF” position.
3. Push in and turn gas control knob clockwise to“OFF”. (If not previously lit, the knob should bein this position.)
4. Wait (5) five minutes to clear out any gas. If
you then smell gas, STOP! Smell all around theappliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to
the floor because some gases are heavier than
air and will settle on the floor. If you smell gas
immediately follow the What To Do If You
Smell Gas! warning on the cover of thisManual. If you do not smell gas, proceed to thenext step.
5. Turn gas control knob counter-clockwise to“PILOT”.

NOTE: When pressing/clicking the piezoelectric
spark ignition button to light the pilot, watch
through the glass (front) of the unit. Click theigniter button until a flame is visible at the pilot.
Once the pilot is lit, continue to press on thegas control knob for another 20 seconds, thenrelease. Ascertain that the pilot is still lit bylooking through the front door. If lit, then turnthe gas control knob fully counter-clockwise to
the “ON” position. If the pilot fails to light, or if itwent out due to a premature release of the gas
control knob while depressed in the “PILOT”
position, wait 60 seconds for the Interlock torelease. Then repeat the lighting process as
described in this section of the manual.
Once the pilot has been lit, the gas control knob has
been turned to the “ON” position, and the24Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc.

Tribute DV Model #8050

ON/OFF/T’stat switch has been turned to “ON”, themain burner should light immediately. If you would
like to use the thermostat and it has been installed,switch the ON/OFF/T’stat switch to thermostat. Turnthe thermostat to "ON" and set it to a higher
position so that it "calls" for heat in order to light themain burner (i.e. turns the unit on). Note that thethermostat controls the on/off cycling of the mainburner, but the pilot remains lit regardless of thethermostat setting. The only way to turn the pilot off
is to turn the gas control knob fully clockwise to the“OFF” position.

Some conditions cannot be corrected through air
shutter adjustment; an adjustment must be made to
the gas supply pressure or by changing the
restriction plate location. Qualified service
personnel must perform supply line/manifold gasline pressure adjustments and restrictor plateadjustments. Do not attempt to complete any part ofthe installation or adjustment of this unit unlesstechnically qualified to do so.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS
Loosen the air shutter locking nut prior tolighting the unit. This nut will get very hot after
operation and will be difficult to loosen. Use a 5/16”
wrench and loosen the nut on the slider adjuster
under the firebox. Loosen the set nut and slider the
adjuster to adjust the flame pattern. Use only metal
tools for this adjustment. The air shutter adjuster,
located under the front of the unit, is adjustable
while the stove is burning. Slide the adjuster left toopen the air shutter, and right to close the shutter.
When the flame pattern is correct, tighten the set
nut without letting slider move. The air shutter isfactory set and only a qualified gas technician
should make adjustments.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE
1. Set the thermostat to the “OFF” positionor turn the ON/OFF/T-STAT switch to
the “OFF” position.
2. If shutting the unit off for the nonheating season, turn the gas control
knob fully clockwise to the “OFF”
position. Do not force the knob to turn.

AIR SHUTTER
The air shutter is used to regulate the air-to-gas
combustion mixture, which in turn influences thesize and color of the flames. The air shutter ispositioned in the general location needed for thetype of gas being used, however, if the unit is notburning as well as it should, then the air shutter
may need adjusting. The air shutter may needadjustment once the unit has been installed tocompensate for variations in supply line pressure,restriction plate position, altitude, gas typeconversions, and other variables.

Note: Very little movement is needed to
substantially change the burn and flame
patterns. Some conditions cannot be corrected
through air shutter adjustment; an adjustment
must be made to the gas supply pressure.
Supply line/manifold gas line pressureadjustments must be performed by qualified
service personnel. Do not attempt to complete
any part of the installation or adjustment of thisunit unless technically qualified to do so.

To determine if the air shutter needs adjustment, itis necessary to view the flame pattern with thevariable output control knob at its highest setting.
Allow the unit to operate for at least 10 minutes toallow the entire unit to reach temperature, and forthe flame pattern to stabilize. Generally, the moreair (open shutter) in the mixture, the bluer the flame.
Less air (closed shutter) results in a more yellow
flame, but too little air will result in incomplete
combustion, low efficiency and a dirty burn. There
are two simple guidelines to aid in determining thecorrect flame pattern:

PILOT ADJUSTMENT
The pilot light is preset by the manufacturer andshould not need adjustment. The pilot light flame
should be large enough to engulf the thermopileand thermocouple located next to the pilot, but not
so large as to create excessive noise or consume
excessive gas. (Refer to figure 8) However, it canbe adjusted by means of the pilot light adjustment
screw located on the gas control valve. Open thevalve door to access the pilot adjustment screw.
Note that the pilot flame must engulf the thermopile
so that the thermopile can generate sufficient millivoltage (325 to 500-mv) to power the gas control
valve. The flame on the pilot should look like Figure
11. Controlling the Tribute DV by the wall-mounted
thermostat may become erratic, nonexistent, or theunit may go out, if the pilot flame is too small or
misdirected away from the thermopile.

1. If the flame at the base of the logs iscompletely blue, the air shutter may be
open too far;
2. If the flame is dirty or licks the top of thestove, the air shutter may be closed too far.

Check and clean any burner ports that are notburning, 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.

CLEANING THE UNITWARNING: DO NOT CLEAN THE UNIT WHEN
HOT.

Complete the cleaning procedure by carefully
placing the log set within the firebox as describedon page 20. Re-install the glass assembly and front
cast. Turn on the gas, light the unit and check forproper operation.
Flame patterns should look
similar to the flames in Figure 11. Regularly checkto insure the area around the Tribute DV is kept
free from combustible materials, gasoline, and otherflammable vapors and liquids. Check that the flowof combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.

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 becleaned 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 ofchemical wax based cleaners or polishes are notrecommended due to the potential for discolorationof the stones, castings or enamel when theresidues of the cleaners or polishes are exposed toheat. Excessive buildup of dust, spider webs, orroom air contamination may cause odors when thestove is hot.

REPLACE THE GLASS GASKET AS NEEDEDYour 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 handswith work gloves, and wash up later.

FIREBOX, PILOT, & BURNER ASSEMBLY
The firebox requires periodic cleaning to preventthe 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 topof the TEK burner, and the pilot assembly.

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

instructions.
B. Faulty connections.

Corrective Action

A. Check for proper inlet pressure for the gas being used.
B. Measure voltage between valve body and solder
connection on the rear of the valve (where the blue wire
connects). It should be no less than 7 mV.

C. Defective thermocouple.
D. Pilot dirty or plugged.

C1. Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve
is tight.
C2. Check thermocouple output using milli-volt meter.
Disconnect from valve and read voltage across wire ends. If
the reading is less than 15 mV, replace the pilot assembly.
C3. If burning NG, check pilot flame to see that it is impinging
on the top of the thermocouple. Clean or replace pilot for
maximum flame impingement.
D. Clean or replace the pilot assembly.
