CAUTION:

 Do not try to adjust heating level by using

equipment shutoff valve.

WARNING:

 When running heater, set control knob at

“LO” or “HI” locked positions.  Poor combustion and
higher levels of carbon monoxide may result if heater
is operated with control knob positioned between
locked positions.

IMPORTANT:

 Release downward pressure while turning

control knob.  Control knob must be locked at the
desired position.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE

SHUTTING OFF HEATER:

Turn off equipment shutoff valve.

SHUTTING OFF BURNER ONLY (PILOT STAYS LIT)

INSPECTING BURNER

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 21 show a correct pilot flame pattern.  Figure 22
shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern.  The incorrect
pilot flame pattern is not touching thermocouple.  This
will cause the thermocouple to cool.  When the thermo-

couple cools, the heater will shut down.  If pilot flame
pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 22:

Turn heater off (see 

To Turn OFF Gas to Appli-

ance

, page 11 for non-thermostat models).

See Troubleshooting, pages 14 and 15.

Figure 22

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Figure 23 show a correct burner flame pattern.  Figure 24
shows an incorrect burner flame pattern.  If burner flame
pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 24:

Turn heater off (see To Turn OFF Gas to Appli-
ance, page 11 for non-thermostat models).

See Troubleshooting, pages 14 and 15.

servicing.

CAUTION:

 You must keep control areas, burner and

circulation air passageways of heater clean.  Inspect
these areas of heater before use. Have the heater
inspected yearly by a qualified service person.  Heater
may need more frequent cleaning due to excess lent
from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.
