GNOME DIRECT VENT GAS HEATER

OPERATION
Location of Controls
See Figure 9 for location of controls. Control
functions are outlined below.
Gas Control Knob
This knob is used for starting the pilot and has three
(3) positions: On, Off, and Pilot. The pointer
directly above the knob indicates the position the
knob is in.
Hi/Lo Flame Adjust
This knob controls the burn, either high or low. It is
operated manually by turning the knob. Once in
position, the wall thermostat will turn on the burner
to the position which this knob is set.
Pilot Igniter
This button is used to ignite the pilot. It is pushed in
while the gas control knob is in the Pilot position.
When pressed, it creates a spark at the pilot, igniting it.
Burner On/Off Switch
This switch turns the burner on after the pilot is lit.
When the wall thermostat is hooked up, this switch
will remain in the “On” position after the pilot is lit.
The wall thermostat will then turn the heater on
automatically when indicated.
Fan Control Knob
This knob controls the speed of the room fan after
the fan comes on.
NOTE: The fan comes on automatically after the
heater gets warm, usually about 10 to 15 minutes.
Wall Thermostat Control (Millivolt Thermostat
Mandatory)
Hook thermostat wire (2) to the terminals as
indicated in Figure 9, if you choose the wall
thermostat option. Keep in mind the heater will run
until the thermostat signals it is too hot in the room.
It will then turn the heater to pilot only. Location of
the wall thermostat is crucial. If it is too close to the
heater, the unit will shut down frequently. If it is too
far away, the heater will run longer than may be
necessary. Place the wall thermostat approximately
twelve (12) feet from the heater.
INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Check off the following list before proceeding to
light the heater.
There are no combustibles placed within 36”
of heater or vent pipe or any combustibles
that can swing within 36” of heater such as
door drapes, etc.
The location of the main shut off valve is
known by everyone in the house (it is
usually next to the gas meter or propane
tank). EVERYONE must know where this
valve is located.
All necessary permits and installation
information have been obtained and the final
inspection has been performed by the local
building inspector.
The operation instructions located on the
side of the heat shield have been read and
understood. A copy of these instructions can
be found in the “Operation” section of this
manual.
The operator and pilot igniter have read this
manual thoroughly and understand it.
