SENSING BULB

Metal Fireplace
If your log set cycles to pilot, but the room temperature drops to a lower than
ideal comfort level before the log set comes back on, you may want to
reposition the thermostat sensing bulb.
The thermostat sensing bulb is located on the gas valve assembly. This location allows the
thermostat to keep the room temperature at an ideal comfort level for most fireplace
applications. For positioning the thermostat sensing bulb elsewhere, an adhesive-backed
mounting clip has been provided.

1. Locate the gas valve assembly and thermostat sensing bulb (see Figure 34).
2. The adhesive-backed mounting clip (see Figure 35) is attached to the thermostat sensing
bulb. Remove the adhesive-backed mounting clip.

3. With 5/16" hex driver or socket, loosen the thermostat screw. Carefully slide the
thermostat sensing bulb out of the retaining clamp (see Figure 36).
Note:
Do not remove the screw. Make sure you tighten the screw after removing the
thermostat sensing bulb.
IMPORTANT:
Do not force or bend the thermostat sensing bulb or capillary.
4. The thermostat sensing bulb may be located to the lower right front side of fireplace.
Determine location of sensing bulb, but do not mount sensing bulb until step 5. If you
have a masonry fireplace, see Figure 37 on page 33 for location.
