THERMOSTATIC CONTROL OPERATION
Blue Flame Models:
The thermostatic control valve on this heater is different from standard thermostats.
Standard thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat sensing bulb on the control valve used
on this heater senses changes in room temperature and varies the flame accordingly. The burner will shut off
completely when the room temperature reaches the set temperature. When the room temperature drops below
the set temperature, the burner will cycle back on. The control knob can be set to the desired comfort level
between 1 and 5.
Infrared Models
: The thermostatic control valve on this heater operates like a standard thermostats and
turns the burner on and off. The thermostat sensing bulb on the control valve used on this heater senses
changes in room temperature, and the burner will shut off completely when the room temperature reaches
the set temperature. When the room temperature drops below the set temperature, the burner will cycle
back on. The control knob can be set to the desired comfort level between 1 and 5.
