    THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION The thermostat control used on this heater differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses the room temperature and adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This will increase or decrease the flame height.

    Flames: The flame should extend about 3” to 4” above the rear log for natural gas and about 6” for propane (LP) gas. CR8T LOGS & BASE WHEN USED AS A HEATING APPLIANCE HEAT OUTPUT The heat output into the room can be controlled by the position of the flue damper, when used as “Vented Gas Logs”.

    VENTILATION AIR FROM INSIDE BUILDING This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoin- ing space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12” of the ceiling and one within 12” of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (See options 1 and 2, Figure 6).
