THERMOSTAT CONTROL

OPERATION
You can set the thermostat control knob 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 will cause the burner to remain
on without modulating down in most cases.
