5. Turn control knob counterclockwise
to the PILOT position. Press in
control knob for five (5) seconds (see Page 20).
Note:
You may be running this heater for the first time after hooking up to gas
supply. If so, the control knob may need to be pressed in for 30 seconds or less.
This will allow air to bleed from the gas system.
• If control knob does not pop out when released, contact a qualified service
person or gas supplier for repairs.
6. With control knob pressed in, press and release ignitor button. This will light pilot.
The pilot is attached to the front burner. If needed, keep pressing ignitor button
until pilot lights.
Note:
If pilot does not stay lit, contact a qualified service person or gas supplier
for repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot with match. To light pilot with
match, see Manual Lighting Procedure, below.
7. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds,
release control knob.
Note:
If pilot goes out, repeat steps 3 through 7. This heater has a safety inter-
lock system. Wait one (1) minute for system to reset before lighting pilot again.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
(Thermostat-Controlled Models Only)
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.
VARIABLE CONTROL OPERATION
The variable control valve can be set to any heat setting and flame height desired, by
simply turning the control knob until that setting is attained. Even the lowest setting
provides realistic flames and glowing embers from two burners. Selecting higher
settings produces greater heat output. This results in increased heating comfort.
