THERMOSTAT CONTROL
OpERATION
Thermostat control knob can be set to any
comfort level between HI and LO. Thermo-
stat will gradually modulate heat output and
flame height from higher to lower settings or
pilot, in order to maintain comfort level you
select. The ideal comfort setting will vary
by household depending upon amount of
space to be heated, output of central heating
system, etc.
Note: Selecting HI setting with control knob
will cause burner to remain fully on, without
modulating down in most cases.
