THERMOSTAT

CONTROL

OPERATION

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

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.
