HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products Inc Windsor Bay Model #8830
NOTE: When pressing/clicking the red
piezoelectric spark ignition button to light
the pilot, watch through the glass (front) of
the unit. Click the red ignitor button until a
flame is visible at the pilot. Once the pilot is
lit, continue to press on the gas control knob
for another 20 seconds, then release.
Ascertain that the pilot is still lit by looking
through the front glass. If lit, then turn the
gas control knob fully counter-clockwise to
the “ON” position. If the pilot fails to light,
or if it went out due to a premature release
of the gas control knob while pressed in the
“PILOT” position, wait 60 seconds for the
Interlock to release. 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 the ON/OFF/T’STAT switch has been
turned to “ON”, the main burners should
light immediately. If you would like to use
the thermostat and it has been installed,
switch the ON/OFF/T’STAT switch to
T’STAT. Turn the thermostat to "ON" and
set it to a higher position so that it "calls" for
heat in order to turn light the main burners
(i.e. turns the unit on). Note that the
thermostat controls the on/off cycling of the
main burners, but the pilot remains lit
regardless of the thermostat setting. The
only way to turn the pilot off is to turn the
gas control knob fully clockwise to the
“OFF” position.
TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE
1. Set the thermostat to the “OFF”
position or turn the
ON/OFF/T’STAT switch to the
“OFF” position.
2. If shutting the unit off for the non-
heating season, turn the gas control
knob fully clockwise to the “OFF”
position. Do not force the knob to
turn.
DAILY OPERATION
The Windsor Bay gas-fired heater is easily
operated by the homeowner once installed
and adjusted by a qualified service
technician. The unit can be controlled
automatically or manually. The unit is
controlled manually by setting the
ON/OFF/T’STAT switch (upper switch) in
the “ON” position, the thermostat will not
operate, and the main burner will stay on
constantly. In the “OFF” position, only the
pilot remains lit but the main burners and
thermostat will not operate. The unit is
controlled automatically via the wall-
mounted thermostat by setting the switch to
“T’STAT”. By setting the thermostat to the
desired room temperature, the unit will cycle
on and off as requested by the room
thermostat, supplied with your stove. 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 you can select the
optimum flame size for your setting and
application. During the summer, non-heating
season, switch the wall thermostat and
rocker switches to “OFF”, and turn off the
pilot. This will improve the overall
efficiency of the unit as the heat from the
pilot is not wanted in the summer. When
putting the unit back into service follow the
Lighting The Unit portion in the How To
Turn The Unit On & Off section of this
manual.
