THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
1.
The thermostat control on this heater differs from standard thermostats. Standard
thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater
senses the room temperature and adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This
will increase or decrease the flame height. At times, the room may exceed the set
temperature, which will cause the burner to shut off. When room temperature drops
below the thermostat setting, the burner will cycle itself on again. The control knob can
be set to any level between “LO” and “HI”.
NOTE: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature of air near the
heater cabinet. This may not always agree with room temperature (depending on
housing construction, installation location, room size, open air temperatures,
etc.). Frequent use of your heater will allow you to determine your personal
comfort levels.
