MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE

THERMOSTATIC CONTROL OPERATION

Models PCNSD18T and PCNSD24TD Only

The thermostatic control used on this model

differs from standard thermostats. Standard

thermostats simply turn the burner on and off.

The thermostat used on this heater senses

the room temperature. At times the room may

exceed the set temperature. If so, the burner

will shut off. The burner will cycle back on

when room temperature drops below the set

temperature. The control knob can be set to

any comfort level.

Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures

the temperature depending on housing con-

struction.

INSPECTING BURNERS

IMPORTANT: Owner’s should check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.

Incorrect flame patterns indicate the need for cleaning (see

Care and Maintenance,

page 22) or service.

WARNING: Only a qualified service person should service and

repair heater. This includes maintenance requiring replacement or

alteration of components.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 25 - Correct Pilot Flame Pattern

(Natural Gas shown)

Figure 26 - Incorrect Pilot Flame Pattern

(Natural Gas shown)

Figure 25 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.

Figure 26 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat-

tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching

the thermocouple. This will cause the ther-

mocouple to cool, which shuts the heater off.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown

in Figure 26
• turn heater off (see

To Turn Off Gas to Ap

pliance

, page 20)

• see

Troubleshooting

pages 24 through 27.

WARNING: If yellow tipping

occurs, your heater could pro

duce increased levels of carbon

monoxide. If the burner flame

pattern shows yellow tipping,

follow instructions at bottom of

this page.

Notice:

Do not mistake orange flames with

yellow tipping. Dirt or other fine particles enter

the heater and burn causing brief patches of

orange flame.
