to the PILOT position. Press in

control knob for five (5) seconds (see Page 20).

You may be running this heater for the first time after hooking up to gas

supply. If so, the control knob may need to be pressed in for 30 seconds or less.
This will allow air to bleed from the gas system.

person or gas supplier for repairs.

If pilot does not stay lit, contact a qualified service person or gas supplier

for repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot with match. To light pilot with
match, see Manual Lighting Procedure
, below.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION

(Thermostat-Controlled Models Only)

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
comfort setting will vary by household depending 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 burner to remain

fully on, without modulating down in most cases.

VARIABLE CONTROL OPERATION

The variable control valve can be set to any heat setting and flame height desired, by
simply turning the control knob until that setting is attained. Even the lowest setting
provides realistic flames and glowing embers from two burners. Selecting higher
settings produces greater heat output. This results in increased heating comfort.
