THERMOSTAT CONTROL
OPERATION
The thermostat control knob can be set to any comfort level
between HI and LO. The thermostat will gradually modulate
the heat output and flame height from higher to lower settings,
or pilot, in order to maintain the comfort level you select. The
ideal comfort setting will vary by household depending upon the
amount of space to be heated, the output of the central heating
system, etc.
Note: Selecting the HI setting with the control knob will cause the
burner to remain fully on, without modulating down in most cases.
1. Follow steps 1 through 5 under Lighting Instructions, pages
17 and 18.
2. Depress control knob and light pilot with match.
3. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting
pilot. After 30 seconds, release control knob. Now follow
step 8 under Lighting Instructions, column 1.
