THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
You can set the thermostat control knob to any comfort level between HI and LO.
The thermostat will gradually modulate the heat output and flame height from higher

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 will cause the burner to remain on without modulating
down in most cases.
