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.
