burner flame height. At times the room
may exceed the set temperature. If
so, the burner will shut off. The burner
will cycle back on when room tem-
perature drops below the set
temperature. The control knob can be
set to any heat level between HI and
LO. Selecting the HI setting will cause
the burner to remain fully on without
modulating down in most cases.
