THERMOSTAT
CONTROL OPERATION
The thermostatic control used on this fireplace
differs from standard thermostats. Standard
thermostats simply turn on and off the burner.
The thermostat used on this fireplace senses the
room temperature. The thermostat adjusts the
amount of gas flow to the burner. This increases
or decreases the burner flame height. At times
the heater 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.
Note:
The thermostat sensing bulb measures
the temperature of air near the fireplace
cabinet. This may not always agree with
room temperature (depending on housing
construction, installation location, room size,
open air temperatures, etc.). Frequent use of
your fireplace will let you determine your own
comfort levels.
