OPERATION
The control knob can be set to any heat level
between HI and LO. When the room tem-
perature exceeds the set temperature, the
burner will cycle to pilot. The burner will
cycle back on when room temperature drops
below the set temperature.
Note:
The thermostat sensing bulb mea-
sures the temperature of air near the heater
cabinet. This may not always agree with
room temperature (depending on housing
construction, installation location, room size,
open air temperatures, etc.) Frequent use of
your heater will let you determine your own
comfort levels.
