WARNING: When running heater, set control knob
at the 1, 2, 3, or 4 locked positions. Never set control
knob between locked positions. Poor combustion and
higher levels of carbon monoxide may result.

THERMOSTAT OPERATION
The thermostatic control used on these models differs from
standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn on
and off the burner. The thermostat used on this heater senses
the room temperature. At times the room may exceed the set
temperature. If so, the burner will shut off. The burner will cycle
back on when room temperature drops below the set tempera-
ture. For standard models (T), the control knob can be set to any
2 comfort level between HI and LO. All plaques will turn off and
on. For infrastat models (IT), the control knob can be set at the
1, 2, 3, or 4 locked positions for the desired comfort level. The
number of plaques selected will turn off and on.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature of
air near the heater 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 heater will let you determine your own comfort levels.
