INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of Hearthstone’s
Santa Fe Gas-Fired Direct Vent heater. The
combination of natural stones with cast iron give the
Santa Fe a pleasing look, which can be maintained
with minimum care. The Santa Fe will provide you
with years of practical and convenient service.
However, as with any gas appliance, the unit must be
properly installed, and maintained by qualified service
personnel to ensure safe and trouble-free operation.
Combustion air comes directly from the outside of
your home to the sealed firebox system, eliminating
the potential for annoying back drafts or other
problems associated with home depressurization.
THIS HEATER MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED BY
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL
Verify the gas connections, and venting systems with
requirements of local, regional, or national installation
codes. Qualified service personnel must inspect the
gas heater before use, and at least annually.
ALWAYS VENT TO THE OUTSIDE
Never vent the gas heater to other rooms, or
buildings. Do not connect this gas appliance to a
chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning
appliance.
MANUFACTURED BY:
Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc.
317 Stafford Avenue
Morrisville, Vermont 05661-8695
WARNING: A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN
SHOULD DO INSTALLATION, AND REPAIR. A
QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN MUST INSPECT
THE APPLIANCE BEFORE USE, AND AT LEAST
ANNUALLY.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pets,
etc. It is imperative that the control compartments,
burners, and circulating air passages of the appliance
are kept clean and free of obstructions. (S’assurer
que le brûleur et le compartiment des
commandes sont propres. Voir les instructions
d’installation et d’utilisation qui accompagnent
l’appareil.)
SERVICE CAUTION
Any components of the stove removed for servicing
must be replaced before operating. If you believe
your Santa Fe is not performing properly,
immediately discontinue operation until the unit is
inspected and approved for operation by qualified
service personnel. Prior to servicing the unit, turn the
valve control knob clockwise to “OFF”. Ensure the
unit is cool before servicing and cleaning.
WARNING! ANY SAFETY SCREEN, GUARD, OR
COMPONENT REMOVED DURING SERVICING
MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE OPERATION.
Do not use any components other than those

FIRE HAZARD
Do not store, or use gasoline, or other flammable
vapors or liquids near this appliance. The Santa Fe
should be located out of traffic, and away from
furniture, draperies, clothing, and other flammable
materials.
SHOCK HAZARD (IF EQUIPPED WITH ACCESSORY FAN)
The accessory blower is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for protection against shock hazard
and must be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut, or
remove, the grounding prong from the plug.
HOT SURFACES
Certain exposed surfaces of the Santa Fe will reach
high temperatures during normal operation.
Clearances to combustibles must be maintained, as
specified in the “Clearances To Combustibles”
section of this manual.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should
be located out of traffic and away from furniture,
draperies, clothing, and other flammable
materials. Alert children and adults to the hazards
of high surface temperatures and that they must
stay away to avoid burns to skin or possible
clothing ignition. Supervise young children
carefully when in the same room as the
appliance. Do not place clothing or other
flammable material on or near the appliance.
(Surveille les enfants. Garder les vêtements, les
meubles, l’essence ou autres liquides à vapeur
inflammables lin de l’appareil.) Clean the area
around, under, and behind the unit on a regular basis
to prevent the accumulation of dust and lint.
WARNING! DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE
WITH THE FRONT GLASS REMOVED, CRACKED,
OR BROKEN. REPLACEMENT OF GLASS SHOULD
BE DONE BY A LICENSED, OR QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSON. ONLY OPEN FRONT FOR
ROUTINE SERVICE. DO NOT SLAM, OR STRIKE

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Set the on/off/T-stat switch or thermostat to the
off position.
2. Unplug the blower accessory, if so equipped.
3. Push in and turn gas control knob clockwise to
“OFF”. (If not previously lit, the knob should be
in this position.)
4. Wait (5) five minutes to clear out any gas. If you
then smell gas, STOP! Smell all around the
appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to
the floor because some gases (LPG) 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 this Manual.
If you do not smell gas, go to the next step.
5. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise to
“PILOT”.
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 to
hold 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.
a. If knob does not pop out when
released, stop and immediately call
a qualified service technician or gas
supplier.
b. If the pilot will not stay lit after
several tries, turn the gas control
knob “OFF” and call a qualified
service technician or gas supplier.
7. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise to “ON”.
8. Select “ON” or “T-STAT” position on the on/off/t-
stat switch.
9. Shut the gas control valve access door.
10. Plug in the blower accessory, if so equipped.
11. Set thermostat to “ON” and set the desired
temperature setting.
Normally, if the “T-STAT” position was selected, the
main burner is cycled on and off by the Thermostat
or the “on”, “off” switch located on the bottom of the
Thermostat body.
TO TURN OFF THE GAS TO THE APPLIANCE
Turn the gas control knob clockwise to “OFF”
position. If shutting the unit off for the non-heating
season, this will improve the overall efficiency of the
unit as the heat from the pilot is wasted in the
summer. When putting the unit back into service
follow the lighting instructions described on this
page.
VARIABLE OUTPUT CONTROL
The gas control valve is equipped with a variable
output control. This control varies the rate of heat
produced by the unit by varying the gas pressure to
the main burner tube.
DAILY OPERATION
The homeowner easily operates the Santa Fe gas-
fired heater. The unit comes with a standard
thermostat. Remote thermostats, or wall switches
are available for purchase from your local
Hearthstone dealer. Once the thermostat is installed
and properly adjusted, the desired room temperature
is maintained. By adjusting the variable output
control located on the gas control valve, the rate of
heat output can be varied to meet the heating
requirements of the season. Choosing a low flame
setting will result in longer burn cycles at a reduced
output, while choosing a high flame setting will result
in a shorter, hotter burn cycle. Through trial and
error, the homeowner can select the optimum flame
size for their setting, and application. Also available
is a variable speed blower. (Kit# 93-57010)

CERAMIC FIBER LOG SAFETY INFORMATION
Replace any damaged decorative ceramic fiber logs
supplied with the Santa Fe. Hearthstone supplies
replacement parts through your local Hearthstone
dealer. Do not replace any logs, or embers, with any
materials not approved by Hearthstone Quality
Home Heating Products, Inc.
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Unpack and Inspect for Damage
Hearthstone packages the Santa Fe to withstand
normal shipment without damage. However,
damage can still occur during transit, so take care to
inspect for damage when unpacking and installing
the unit. If you detect any damage or missing parts,
immediately contact your dealer. Do not install or
put into service a damaged or incomplete heater.
The unit should appear square and level, the sheet
metal parts smooth and free of bends or dents. The
enameled cast iron should be free of chips or
cracks. If you find visible or concealed damage,
contact your dealer.
The decorative fiber logs supplied with the Santa Fe
are located in the firebox. Always use great care
when handling the decorative ceramic logs, as they
are very fragile and subject to damage and
breakage. To open the firebox: remove the front
door screw with the supplied hex wrench, take care
not to chip the enamel, and swing the door open.
Remove the lag bolts, which fasten the unit to the
pallet. Take care not to chip the enameled legs.
Have someone help lift the stove off the pallet, and
set it into place.

VENT CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
I. Standard Horizontal Vent Kit 93-65000
Minimum horizontal run is 9”.
Note: Install the 45º elbow over the outer
collar. Place the elbow so that the twist lock
end is pointing up. Install the 2’ pipe section
into the elbow by fully inserting it, and
turning approximately ¼ turn clockwise until
the two sections are fully locked. Install the
90º elbow in similar fashion.
Note: Ensure there is no wiring or plumbing
in the chosen wall location.
Move the stove and pipe assembly back until the 90º
elbow is flush to the wall. The 2’vertical pipe should
be parallel to the wall. Draw a circle around the
pipe. Use the center of this circle as the center point
of the 10” x 10” square wall pass through. Cut and
frame the wall for the vent pipe. Install the horizontal
vent termination on the outside of the wall. Ensure
both of the retaining straps extend through the
interior wall. Before attaching the vent termination to
the outside of the house, run a bead of non-
hardening mastic around the outside edges,
between the vent termination and the wall. The
arrow on the end cap must point up. Secure the cap
to the wall with the appropriate screws.
Put the adjustable (11”-14”) pipe into the horizontal
vent cap, (the vent pipe must extend into the
horizontal vent cap a minimum of 1 ¼”). Move the
stove and vent pipe into position, insert the
adjustable (11”-14”) pipe into the 90° elbow, twist
lock it. Secure the straps from the horizontal vent
termination to the interior pipe with two sheet metal
screws, keeping screws as close to the wall thimble
as possible. Bend or cut the excess strapping so
the thimble cover will fit properly. Screw the thimble
cover to the wall.
The adjustment range of the wall thickness
for this configuration is 3”min- 9”max.

GAS CONNECTIONS
Figure 13
The gas supply connection to the Santa Fe’s gas
control valve is located under the unit on the left side
and uses a 3/8" NPT fitting. You must size the
supply pipe to provide sufficient gas supply to meet
the maximum demand of the unit. The supply line
must include a manual shut-off valve and union for
disconnecting the unit for servicing.
Use of a dedicated sediment trap is required by
code, and by Hearthstone. Damage to components
caused by the lack of a sediment trap is not covered
by warranty.
Once connected to the gas supply, you must test the
gas inlet pressure, and manifold gas pressure. The
gas control valve has built in pressure taps for test
gauge connections. You must test the supply line
pressure to ensure it meets the minimum pressure
for the type of fuel in use (NG or LP).
Pressure Measurements: To measure the gas
pressures, connect a manometer to the gas inlet tap
(6) and manifold pressure tap (7) in Figure 13.

GAS PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
A qualified technician must connect the heater to the
gas supply, and leak test the unit before approval for
use. Consult all applicable codes. The appliance,
and its main gas valve, must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or greater than ½ psig (3.5kPa).

REPLACING THE GLASS
To replace the front glass, shut the pilot light off.
Remove the front screw, using the 1/8” hex wrench
provided. Open the door. Take care and pull the
door up and remove it from its hinges. Remove the
eight Phillips head screws in the frame and pull the
frame and glass off the door. If the glass is broken,
pull the broken fragments of glass away from the
door using heavy-duty gloves, as the pieces will be
very sharp. Carefully replace the glass gasket as
necessary, and replace the door.
WARNING! DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE
MATERIALS. USE ONLY PARTS THAT HAVE
BEEN SUPPLIED BY HEARTHSTONE, THROUGH
AN AUTHORIZED HEARTHSTONE DEALER.
CAUTION! DO NOT CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE
THE UNIT IS HOT. ALLOW APPROXIMATELY
ONE HOUR BEFORE ATTEMPTING CLEANING.
LOG PLACEMENT
Place only the decorative ceramic log set supplied
with the unit in the firebox. This log set is
specifically designed to work with the provided pan
burner. Do not use any other type of ceramic logs,
wood logs, or other materials in the firebox. If the
original log set is damaged, or broken, contact your
Hearthstone dealer for replacement. The decorative
ceramic log set will last a long time, however, they
will break easily if subjected to rough or improper
handling.
Exact positioning of the log set is required in order
to obtain a pleasing flame pattern and efficient
combustion. Incorrect log placement can cause
carbon build-up; excess thermal stress on the log
set and stove parts, reduced efficiency, and high
levels of carbon monoxide. If the log set does not fit
into the firebox exactly as outlined, contact your
dealer for assistance.
INSTALLATION OF THE LOG SET
(Refer to the figures in this section)
CAUTION-DO NOT PLACE EMBERS NEAR THE
PILOT.
1. Open the front door using a 1/8” hex
wrench. Loosen the bolt that fastens the doorknob
to the door. It also unfastens the door from the
firebox by turning it counterclockwise. Be careful
not to chip the enamel when loosening the bolt. Pull
the door open by grabbing the top edge of the
doorframe.
WHEN INSTALLING THE LOGS BE SURE NOT TO
COVER ANY SLOTTED PORTS ON THE BURNER
SURFACE
2. Remove the packaging material around the
log set assembly. Be careful not to damage the log
set when unpacking. Observe the 5 mounting
“posts”, A, B, C, D, and E.
3. Gently slide the Y-shaped Log (1) onto pins
A and C, as shown below.
4. Gently slide the longer, “half” log (2) onto
pin D. Be sure to position the rear of the log in front
of the pilot assembly and against the left side of the
firebox as shown below.

5. Gently slide the shortest of the “half” logs (3)
onto pin B as shown below.
6. Gently slide the medium length of the “half”
logs (4) onto pin E as shown below.
7. Gently slide the long unbroken log (5) onto
pins C and D as shown below.
8. Spread evenly across the front portion of the
Pan Burner, one layer high, the Charcoal Embers.
You may or may not need to use all of the Charcoal
Embers. Keep the rest for use in the future. Locate
and open the bag of Platinum Bright Embers. Pull
apart small pieces of the wool and sprinkle over the
Charcoal Embers randomly. This wool will glow
brightly once the unit is running.
9. Attach the façade to the firebox. Make sure
the glass assembly and facade are properly secured
to the firebox before lighting the unit. Be careful not
to chip the enamel when attaching the components.
REMOVAL OF LOG SET
CAUTION! LOG SET AND CHARCOAL EMBERS
WILL RETAIN HEAT AND CAN BE VERY HOT, IF
PREVIOUSLY LIT! ALLOW AT LEAST 1 HOUR
FOR COOLING AFTER PILOT LIGHT IS OFF
BEFORE HANDLING.
To remove the log set, follow the Installation of Log
Set instructions in the reverse order.
CAUTION! FRAGILE! HANDLE LOG SET AND
CHARCOAL EMBERS WITH CARE.

OPERATION
LIGHTING THE UNIT THE FIRST TIME
SMOKE AND FUMES WARNING
When lit for the first time, the Santa Fe will emit
some smoke and odors. This is normal “off-gassing”
of the paints and oils used in the manufacturing, and
assembly of the unit. Open windows to vent the
room if necessary. The off gassing and fumes will
subside after the first 10 to 20 minutes of operation.
Once the Santa Fe is set in place and connected as
described previously, the unit is ready to be lit for the
first time. Hearthstone tests each Santa Fe before
shipment, so ignition should take place without
failure.
PILOT LIGHT
The Santa Fe has a piezoelectric spark igniter (the
red or black 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
light assembly. Do not attempt to light the unit with a
match or by any means other than the piezoelectric
spark.
PILOT ADJUSTMENT
The pilot light is preset by the manufacturer and
should not need adjustment. The pilot light flame
must be large enough to engulf the thermopile and
thermocouple located next to the pilot, but not so
large as to create excessive noise or consume
excessive gas. (refer to figure 13) However, it can be
adjusted by means of the pilot light adjustment
screw located on the gas control valve. Open the
valve door to access the pilot adjustment screw.
Note that the pilot flame must engulf the thermopile
so that the thermopile can generate sufficient milli-
voltage (325 to 500-mv) to power the millivolt gas
control valve
Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gases (LPG) are heavier than air and will
settle on the floor. If you smell gas, check for leaks.
Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob.
Never use tools.
WARNING! THE CONTROL HAS AN INTERLOCK
DEVICE. IF THE STOVE HAS BEEN LIT, IT WILL
NOT RELIGHT IMMEDIATELY. AFTER
SHUTTING OFF ALL GAS FLOW, THE PILOT
BURNER CANNOT BE RELIT UNTIL THE
THERMOCOUPLE HAS COOLED, ALLOWING
THE ELECTROMAGNET TO BE RELEASED
(APPROX. 60 SEC.). THE GAS CONTROL KNOB
IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE BY HAND. DO NOT
USE ANY TOOLS DURING THIS OPERATION.

INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS
Air Shutter Adjustments
The air shutter, located at the lower rear center of
the stove, is adjustable while the stove is burning by
loosening the set nut on the adjusting bolt located on
the lower rear left of the stove. This nut is hot and
should not be touched. Use only metal tools for this
adjustment. Loosen the set nut using a 7/16”
wrench and turn the bolt to adjust the flame pattern.
Turn the bolt clockwise to open the air shutter, and
counterclockwise to close the shutter. When the
flame pattern is correct, tighten the set nut without
letting the bolt turn. The air shutter is factory set and
only a qualified gas technician should make
adjustments.
Note: Very little movement substantially
changes 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 pressure adjustments
must be performed by qualified service
personnel. Do not attempt to complete any
part of the installation or adjustment of this
unit unless technically qualified.
