phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

cian or gas supplier. Force or attempted repair may result
in a fire or explosion.

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