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.
