THERMOSTATIC CONTROL OPERATION
The thermostatic control used on this model differs from standard thermostats. Standard
thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses the
room temperature. At times the room may exceed the set temperature. If so, the burner will shut
off. The burner will cycle back on when room temperature drops below the set temperature. The
control knob can be set to any comfort level between HIGH (5) and LOW (1).
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature depending on housing
construction.
