Manual Flame Adjustment while in THERMOSTAT mode: Flame-

A will be the only flame setting that is adjusted automatically.  

Flame-A and Flame-B may be manually adjusted while in thermo-

stat mode.  If Flame-A is manually adjusted while in thermostat 

mode, it will override the automatic flame setting until the flame 

cycles off, then back ON thermostatically; when the flame cycles 

ON again, automatic flame adjustment will resume (Flame-B 

setting will remain as-set by the user).  Automatic flame adjust-

ment will also resume if the operational mode is cycled out of, 

then back into THERMOSTAT mode or if the SET temperature 

is changed.
