THERMOSTAT
CONTROL
OPERATION
The control knob can be set to any heat
level between HI and LO. When the room
temperature exceeds the set temperature,
the burner will cycle to pilot. The burner
will cycle back on when room tempera-
ture drops below the set temperature.
Selecting a higher setting will cause the
heater to run longer, producing greater
heat output. At lower settings, the heater
will run less.
Note:
The thermostat sensing bulb mea-
sures the temperature of air near the
heater cabinet. This may not always agree
with room temperature (depending on
housing construction, installation loca-
tion, room size, open air temperatures,
etc.) Frequent use of your heater will let
you determine your own comfort levels.
