THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
The thermostatic control used on this
model differs from standard thermostats.
You set standard thermostats to a specific
temperature (such as 72 degrees); the
control of this heater establishes a “comfort
level”. In order for the thermostat to operate
effectively, the heater should be the main
source of heat in the ROOM. Follow the
instructions for lighting the heater, and
turn the knob to the HIGH position. When
the room reaches the desired comfort
level, rotate the control knob clockwise
slowly to the point where the main burner
extinguishes (this point on the dial will
change depending on room temperature),
then back counter-clockwise -just until
the flame reignites. Leave the knob in
this position. As the room temperature
increases, the burner will automatically
return to LOW setting or extinguish. When
the room temperature cools, the heater will
come back on. If left at this set-point the
thermostat will turn the main burner off and
on as needed to maintain the temperature
at this comfort level setting.
