FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE
LIGHTING
A. This appliance has a pilot which must
be lighted by hand. When lighting the
pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all
around the appliance area for gas. Be
sure to smell next to the floor because
some gas is heavier than air and will
settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL
GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do
not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor’s phone. Follow
the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas sup-
plier, call the fire department.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn
the gas control knob. Never use tools.
If the knob will not push in or turn
by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a
qualified service technician or gas
supplier. Force or attempted repair
may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part
has been under water. Immediately call
a qualified service technician to inspect
the appliance and to replace any part
of the control system and any gas con-
trol which has been under water.
WARNING: If you do not fol-
low these instructions exactly, a
fire or explosion may result caus-
ing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.

THERMOSTAT
CONTROL
OPERATION
The thermostatic control used on this
model differs from standard thermostats.
Standard thermostats simply turn on and
off the burner. The thermostat used on
this heater senses the room temperature.
At times the room may exceed the set
temperature. If so, the burner will shut
off. The burner will cycle back on when
room temperature drops below the set
temperature. The control knob can be set
to any comfort level between 1 and 7.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb mea-
sures the temperature of air near the
heater cabinet. This may not always agree
with room temperature (depending on
housing construction, installation loca-
tion, room size, open air temperatures,
etc.) Frequent use of your heater will let
you determine your own comfort levels.
1. STOP! Read the safety information
in column 1.
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve
is fully open.
3. Turn control knob clockwise
to the OFF position (see Figure 18).
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any
gas. Smell for gas around heater and
near floor. If you smell gas, STOP!
Follow “B” in the safety information
in column 1. If you don’t smell gas,
go to next step.
5. Turn control knob counterclockwise
to the PILOT position. Press
in control knob for five (5) seconds.
Note: You may be running this
heater for the first time after hook-
ing up to gas supply. If so, the con-
trol knob may need to be pressed in
for 30 seconds. This will allow air to
bleed from the gas system.
• If control knob does not pop up
when released, contact a qualified
service person or gas supplier for
repairs.
6. With control knob pressed in, push
down and release ignitor button. This
will light pilot. The pilot is attached
to the front of burner. If needed, keep
pressing ignitor button until pilot
lights.
Note: If pilot does not stay lit, refer
to Troubleshooting, pages 14 through
16. Also contact a qualified service
person or gas supplier for repairs.
Until repairs are made, light pilot with
match. To light pilot with match, see
Manual Lighting Procedure, page 13.
7. Keep control knob pressed in for 30
seconds after lighting pilot. After 30
seconds, release control knob.
Note: If pilot goes out, repeat steps
3 thru 7.
8. Turn control knob counterclockwise
to desired heating level. The
main burner should light. Set control
knob to any heat level between HI
and LO (see Figure 18).
