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, dancing yellow
flames. Selecting higher settings produces
greater heat output. This results in in-
creased heating comfort.
1.
STOP! Read the safety information
page 14, column 1.
2.
Make sure equipment shutoff valve
is fully open.
3.
Press in and turn control knob clock-
wise
to the OFF position.

Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any
gas. Then smell for gas, including near
the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Fol-
low “B” in the safety information on
page 14, column 1 . If you don’t smell
gas, go to the next step.

You may be running this

ing up to gas supply. If so, the con-
trol knob may need to be pressed in
for 30 seconds. This will allow air to
bleed from the gas system.

Note:
If pilot does not light, contact
a qualified service person or gas sup-
plier for repairs. Until repairs are
