THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION

You can set the thermostat control knob 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 will cause the burner to remain on without modulating

down in most cases.
