OPTIONAL POSITIONING
OF THERMOSTAT
SENSING bULb
(Thermostat-Controlled Models Only)
FOR MASONRY AND FACTORY-
BUILT METAL FIREPLACE
If your log set cycles to pilot, but the room
temperature drops to a lower than ideal
comfort level before the log set comes back
on, you may want to reposition the thermostat
sensing bu b.
The thermostat sensing bulb is located on
the gas valve assembly. This location allows
the thermostat to keep the room temperature
at an ideal comfort level for most fireplace
applications. For positioning the thermostat
sensing bulb elsewhere, an adhesive-backed
mounting clip is available (see Figure 44).
Tools needed: 5/16" hex driver or socket
1. Locate the gas valve assembly and ther-
mostat sensing bulb (see Figure 45).
2. With 5/16” hex driver or socket, loosen
the thermostat screw. Carefully slide the
thermostat sensing bulb out of the retain-
ing clamp (see Figure 46).
Note:
Do not remove the screw. Make sure
you tighten the screw after removing the
thermostat sensing bulb.
IMPORTANT:
Do not force or bend the
thermostat sensing bulb or capillary.

3. The thermostat sensing bulb may be
located to the lower right front side of
fireplace. Determine location of sensing
bulb, but do not mount sensing bulb until
step 4. If you have a masonry fireplace,
see Figure 47 for location.
If you have a factory-built metal fireplace,
see Figure 48 for location.
