THERMOSTATIC CONTROL OPERATION
Note:
The thermostatic control valve used on this model differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats
simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat sensing bulb on the control valve used on this heater senses
changes in room temperature and will vary the flame accordingly. When the room temperature exceeds the set
temperature the burner will shut off completely. The unit will cycle back on as the room temperature drops below the
set temperature. The control knob can be set to the desired comfort level between HIGH (5) and LOW (1).
