THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
1. The thermostat control on this heater differs from standard thermostats. Standard
thermostats simply turn burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses
room temperature and adjusts amount of gas flow to burner. This will increase or
decrease flame height. At times, room may exceed set temperature, which will cause
the burner to shut off. When room temperature drops below the thermostat setting,
burner will cycle itself on again. The control knob can be set to any level between
“LO” and “HI”.
NOTE: The thermostat sensing bulb measures temperature of air near 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 allow you to determine your personal
comfort levels.
