CONTROL
OPERATION
(Thermostat-Controlled Models
Only)
The thermostat control knob can be set 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 with the
control knob will cause the burner to
remain fully on, without modulating down
in most cases.

ing property damage, personal

Clockwise
be lighted by hand. When lighting the
pilot, follow these instructions ex-
actly.

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 build-
ing.
• Immediately call your gas supplier

plier, call the fire department.

inspect the appliance and to replace
any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been un-
der water.
Note: Homeowners generally prefer
to operate their heater with the chim-
ney damper closed. This will put all
the heat into the room. However there
may be times you will desire the full
flames of the High heat setting but
will find the heat output excessive.
You can open the chimney damper (if
you have one) fully or partially to
release some of the heat. WARNING:
Damper handle will be hot if heater
has been running.
