The thermostatic control used on this

model differs from standard thermo-
stats. Standard thermostats simply turn
on and off the burner. The thermostat
used on this heater senses the room tem-
perature. 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
IGN
can be set to any comfort level between 1
and 7.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb mea-
sures the temperature of air near the
heater cabinet. This may not always
agree with room temperature (depend-

tures, etc.) Frequent use of your heater
