WARNING: Do not operate
heater between PILOT and HIGH

ment shutoff valve
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.
4.
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.
5.
Slightly depress and turn control
knob counterclockwise
C-clockwise
to
the PILOT position. Keep control
knob pressed in for five (5) seconds
(see Figure 29).
Note:
You may be running this
heater for the first time after hook-
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.
6.
With control knob pressed in, press
and release ignitor button. This will
light pilot. The pilot is attached to the
burner (see Figure 18, page 11). If
needed, keep pressing ignitor button
until pilot lights.
Note:
If pilot does not light, contact
a qualified service person or gas sup-
plier for repairs. Until repairs are
made, light pilot with match. To light
pilot with match, see Manual Light-
ing Procedure, page 17.
