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 re-
alistic, dancing yellow flames. Selecting higher
settings produces greater heat output. This
results in increased heating comfort.
CAUTION: Do not try to ad-
just heating levels by using the
equipment shutoff valve.
