OPERATION
THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
The thermostatic control used on this model
differs from standard thermostats. You set
standard thermostats to a specific tempera-
ture such as 72° F. 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 on page 18. When the room reaches
the desired comfort level, rotate the control
knob clockwise slowly until the main burner
turns off and the pilot remains on (this position
on the knob will change depending on room
temperature).Turn the knob counter-clockwise
slowly until the main burner reignites. Note the
position of the control knob by the numbers
printed on the knob. Leave the knob in this
position. As the room temperature increases,
the main burner will turn off and the pilot
will remain on. When the room temperature
cools, the heater's main burner will come back
on. If left at this set point the thermostat will
turn the main burner on or off as needed to
maintain the room temperature at the desired
comfort level.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb reacts
to the temperature depending on housing
construction.
