THERMOSTAT CONTROL
OPERATION
The thermostat control knob can be set
to any comfort level between HI and LO.
The thermostat will gradually modulate
the heat output and flame height from
higher to lower settings or pilot, in order
to maintain the comfort level you select.
The ideal comfort setting will vary by
household depending upon the amount
of space to be heated, the output of the
central heating system, etc.
Note:
Selecting the HI setting with the
control knob will cause the burner to
remain fully on, without modulating down
in most cases.
