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 com-
fort setting will vary by household depend-
ing 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 burners to
remain fully on, without modulating down
in most cases.

INSPECTING
BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 20 shows a correct pilot flame pat-
tern. Figure 21 shows an incorrect pilot flame
pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touch-
ing the thermocouple. This will cause the
thermocouple to cool. When the thermo-
couple cools, the heater will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 21
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 14 through 16

CAUTION: Do not try to adjust
heating levels by using the equip-
ment shutoff valve.
1. STOP! Read the safety information,
page 11, column 3.
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve
is fully open.
3. Turn control knob clockwise
Clockwise
to the OFF position.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any
gas. Then smell for gas, including
near the floor. If you smell gas,
STOP! Follow “B” in the safety in-
formation, page 11, column 3. If you
don’t smell gas, go to the next step.
5. Turn control knob counterclockwise
C-clockwise
to the PILOT position.
Press in control knob for five (5) sec-
onds (see Figure 18).
Note: You may be running this
heater for the first time after hook-
ing up to gas supply. If so, the con-
trol knob may need to be pressed in
for 30 seconds or less. This will allow
air to bleed from the gas system.
6. With control knob pressed in, press
and release ignitor button. This will
light pilot. The pilot is attached to the
front burner. If needed, keep press-
ing ignitor button until pilot lights.
Note: If pilot does not stay lit, con-
tact a qualified service person or gas
supplier for repairs. Until repairs are
made, light pilot with match. To light
pilot with match, see Manual Light-
ing Procedure.
