for 30 seconds. This will allow air to
bleed from the gas system.

when released, contact a qualified
service person or gas supplier for
repairs.

Shutting Off Heater
1. Turn control knob clockwise
to the OFF position.
2. Turn off all electric power to the ap-
pliance if service is to be performed.
Shutting Off Burner Only (pilot
stays lit)
1. Turn control knob clockwise
to the PILOT position.
The thermostatic control used on these mod-
els differs from standard thermostats. Stan-
dard thermostats simply turn on and off the
burner. The thermostat used on this heater
senses the room temperature. The thermo-
stat adjusts the amount of gas flow to the
Pilot Burner
burner. This increases or decreases the burner
flame height. 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 tem-
perature. The control knob can be set to any
heat level between HI and LO. Selecting the
HI setting will cause the burner to remain
fully on without modulating down in most
cases.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb mea-
sures 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.
