4.

The mounting clip must be a minimum
of 3" from bottom of fireplace to pre-
vent crimping of capillary. Once you
have decided on a location, clean the
area thoroughly. Remove the paper
backing from the adhesive on back of
mounting clip. Press the clip into the
new location so that the thermostat
sensing bulb will be positioned verti-
cally with the capillary at the bottom
(see Figure 44). Slide the thermostat
sensing bulb into the clip.

IMPORTANT:

Do not crimp capillary.

POSITIONING OF
THERMOSTAT
SENSING BULB

For Masonry and Factory-
built Metal Fireplace

If your log set cycles to pilot, but the room
temperature drops to a lower than ideal
comfort level before the log set comes back
on, you may want to reposition the thermo-
stat sensing bulb.

The thermostat sensing bulb is located near
the gas valve assembly on the mounting
bracket. This location allows the thermostat
to keep the room temperature at an ideal
comfort level for most fireplace applica-
tions. For positioning the thermostat sens-
ing bulb elsewhere, an adhesive-backed
mounting clip is available.

Tools needed: 1/4" hex driver or socket

1.

Remove logs. Locate the gas valve as-
sembly and thermostat sensing bulb
(see Figure 38).

2.

With 1/4" hex driver or socket, loosen
the thermostat screw. Carefully slide
the thermostat sensing bulb out of the
retaining clamp (see Figure 40).

Note:

Do not remove the screw. Make

sure you tighten the screw after remov-
ing the thermostat sensing bulb.

IMPORTANT:

Do not force or bend the

thermostat sensing bulb or capillary.

3.

The thermostat sensing bulb may be
located to the lower right front side of
fireplace. Determine location of sens-
ing bulb, but do not mount sensing bulb
until step 5. If you have a masonry fire-
place, see Figure 41 for location. If you
have a factory-built metal fireplace, see
Figure 42 for location. If your fireplace
has glass doors, position sensing bulb
directly behind door gap on right bot-
tom side (see Figure 43).
