the rear of the front burner. If needed, keep pressing ignitor button until pilot lights. Note: If pilot does not stay lit,
contact a qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot with match.

pilot goes out, repeat steps 3 through 7. This heater has a safety interlock system. Wait one (1) minute before
lighting pilot again.

burner LP ignites. Note: If you find anything abnormal in this step, repeat steps 2 through 8.
9. Turn control knob counterclockwise to the desired heating level. The main burner should light. Set control knob
to any heat level between HI and LO (5 –1).

THERMOSTATIC CONTROL OPERATION

Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature depending on housing construction, the thermostatic
control used on this model differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn the burner on and off.
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 temperature.
The control knob can be set to any comfort level between HIGH (5) and LOW (1).
