Flame Modulation
The control system is designed to automatically adjust the
flame intensity based on the difference between the desired
room temperature, and actual temperature. In thermostat
mode, the hearth appliance will start in HI flame, but as the
actual temperature approaches the desired set temperature on
the remote, the flame intensity will automatically decrease. Au
-
tomatic flame modulation will result in more control of the tem
-
perature, and will cause the appliance to cycle OFF/ON less.
